Shuna Sings 29 Songs Nonstop in a Karaoke Stream for First-Time Viewers

RIOT MUSIC — Shuna, a singer with Riot Music’s aaMugensho Record label, sang 29 songs back to back in an *utawaku*, or singing stream, that ran more than two hours.

The stream was billed as open to first-time viewers, and Shuna kept to that between songs, welcoming newcomers and telling them to settle in. Half an hour in, Shuna said the set would be nonstop, and it was: the stream moved from one song to the next with only short thank-yous in between. One of the early songs was named on air as “Yasashisa ni Tsutsumaretanara.” Later in the first hour Shuna took a viewer’s request and thanked the person who sent it.

“I get so into singing that sometimes I’m not looking at the lyrics, so I occasionally get things badly wrong, but please bear with me.” — Shuna, early in the set

Shuna told the audience that singing with full effort sometimes meant not watching the lyrics, and asked for patience with the occasional slip. At about the 91-minute mark, Shuna thanked first-time viewers and new channel subscribers.

Near the two-hour-15-minute mark, Shuna said 28 songs had been sung without a break and announced the final number. After the 29th, Shuna asked viewers to subscribe, like and comment, and invited people who watched the archive to say so in the comments. Shuna also asked for impressions under the stream’s hashtag.

Chat answered song after song with applause and fan emotes, and viewers said goodbye as the stream closed. The stream drew seven Super Chats.
