Summer PrincessHirai Dai
Singer-songwriter Dai Hirai, who has gained popularity for his music that blends Hawaiian music and R&B into pop, consistently releases new songs—and he recently dropped another gem.
It’s “Summer Princess,” a gentle pop ballad that still features some solid high notes.
His soaring, emotive falsetto is incredibly captivating, so if you’re looking to hear moving high-note passages, be sure to check it out.
BeautifulHirai Dai
Hirai Dai’s music is strongly influenced by R&B and Hawaiian music.
Among these, R&B in particular tends to be a very challenging genre for Japanese listeners, as its rhythms can be difficult to grasp.
“Beautiful,” however, leans more toward pop music, so there’s no need to worry about that, and the vocal line is arranged to be easy to sing throughout.
That said, there are occasional falsetto parts, so you’ll need to set an appropriate key.
If you choose a key that feels “slightly high,” it will make the falsetto sections easier to produce—please use this as a reference.
FAMILY SONGHirai Dai
Hirai Dai’s iconic song “FAMILY SONG” is striking for its chill vibe.
While he usually centers his music around R&B and Hawaiian styles, this track notably leans toward a country sound.
The easiest-to-sing aspect of this song is, above all, its narrow vocal range.
Although Hirai Dai’s songs tend to span a wider range, this one is among the narrowest in his catalog.
There are few long notes, and there’s little in the way of vocal runs (often called “feints” in Japanese, akin to ornamented phrasing), making it an easy song to sing even for those with lower voices or who aren’t confident singers.
Good-bye to YesterdayHirai Dai
It’s a refreshing track, like the sky after the rain.
Released in June 2024, it was unveiled as the first installment of the consecutive release project “LUCKY BAG.” With a grand sound arrangement, the song depicts moving forward after heartbreak.
The feeling of overcoming sadness is like the moment the sky clears.
Every word in the lyrics tugs at your heartstrings.
It’s a song that fully expresses Dai Hirai’s essence and humanity.

HomeHirai Dai
“Home” is a track included on the 2017 album “ON THE ROAD.” With its pleasant, country-style upbeat rhythm, the song spans an average vocal range.
