All Night Long (Ami Suzuki song)

"All Night Long" (stylized as "all night long") is a song recorded by Japanese singer Ami Suzuki for her debut studio album, SA (1999). It was written and produced by Japanese producer and songwriter Tetsuya Komuro. The track was released following Suzuki's two collaborative efforts with Komuro. "All Night Long" premiered on November 5, 1998, as the third single from the album. Musically, the track was described as a drum and bass and pop song. Upon its release, "All Night Long" garnered positive reviews from music critics and was praised for its composition and production. It also achieved success in Japan; it was Suzuki's highest charting single on the Japanese Oricon Singles Chart, until it was surpassed by "Be Together" (1999). The song has sold over 396,000 units in Japan, Suzuki's seventh best selling single in that region. The accompanying music video for "All Night Long" was shot in Japan; it features Suzuki inside a club with friends, and running around an empty bowling alley. At the 1999 Japan Gold Disc Awards, "All Night Long" and Suzuki won the awards for the Gold Disc Prize and Best New Artist respectively. For additional promotion, the song featured on Suzuki's concert tours: 1st Concert Oh Yeah! 1999, Amigo's Parlor Shake Shake Shake, and Ami Go Round Tour amongst others. "All Night Long" was re recorded and re produced for Suzuki's second greatest hits album, Ami Selection (2011).

After the spontaneous success of Ami Suzuki's single's "Love the Island" and "Alone in My Room", Japanese producer and composer Tetsuya Komuro had written, produced, composed, and arranged Suzuki's next single "All Night Long". Like "Love the Island" and "Alone in My Room", Suzuki did not incorporate her last name and only used Ami as her stage name. Songwriter Marc Panther re wrote portions of the track so it could include the English language. This is Suzuki's first maxi CD format to include an extended edit of any of her singles. The CD cover sleeve has a close up shot of Suzuki looking into the camera. Suzuki is standing in front of a shiny blue circular backdrop, wearing a yellow collar shirt. Throughout the choruses of the song, Suzuki's vocals are processed with minor vocoder effects. Komuro was in charge of re produced, re arranging, and re composing the track; the re worked track is a dance pop song with the same elements of drum and bass and Japanese pop. A staff reviewer from CD Journal reviewed Suzuki's SA album, and complimented the album's singles as "mega hits". Another staff reviewer from the same publication reviewed the single, and complimented Komuro's production and composition skills. The reviewer further praised his "new fusion" of drum and bass music with pop music, and labelled it "high quality" and the production "ambitious" and "innovative". For the re worked version, a staff reviewer from Japan's HMV commended the re worked production. At the 1999 Japan Gold Disc Awards, "All Night Long" and Suzuki won the awards for the Gold Disc Prize and Best New Artist respectively.

"All Night Long" debuted at number two on the Japanese Oricon Singles Chart, which made it Suzuki's highest charting single on that chart. Its first week sales were estimated at 133,740 units, which made it Suzuki's highest first week sales until it was surpassed by her following single "White Key". The song lasted sixteen weeks in the singles chart, Suzuki's first single to miss the twenty week mark; this carried on with future singles onwards, whilst "Be Together" lasted seventeen weeks.

An accompanying music video for "All Night Long" was shot in Japan. The music video features Suzuki dancing in a club with several male and female friends in the background. Other scenes features Suzuki running in an empty bowling alley at night. During the choruses, it has Suzuki singing the song at the back of an alley, inside of the club, or in the middle of the bowling alley. The original mix appeared on Suzuki's greatest hits album Fun for Fan Video Clips (2001). The re worked version was included on the track list of Suzuki's second greatest hits album, Ami Selection (2011). After Suzuki signed a deal with Sony Music and Kissmark not long after, Sony decided to re promote the single in Japan, where it received significant attention in clubs. Her 1998–1999 releases emphasized Suzuki's "girl next door" personality in the media. "All Night Long" was included on the track list on one of Suzuki's concert tours; this being her 29th Anniversary Tour at the Liquidroom event, which was placed in the middle section for the concert. The live version appeared on the bonus DVD format of Suzuki's extended play, Snow Ring (2013).
