Happy BirthdayEXILE7rank/position

Happy Birthday / EXILE / Piano (Solo) / Beginner to Intermediate

“Happy Birthday,” included on EXILE’s fourth album “ASIA,” released in 2006 by the hugely popular group that dominated the J-POP scene from the 2000s onward, is a hidden gem of a birthday song that expresses simple feelings for a loved one.

With its Black contemporary-inspired sound, gentle vocals, and lyrics—and given that the original track is primarily accompanied by piano—it’s well-suited to being performed on piano alone.

There are quite a few accidentals, which may puzzle beginners, but the tempo is relaxed, so with repeated practice you should get used to it quickly.

By all means, try playing it while thinking of your special partner.
