Hirai Dai Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (91–100)
To the BeachHirai Dai91rank/position
Hirai Dai’s iconic track “To the Beach” stands out with its groovy feel.
The song evokes disco music, with an impressive low-end beat.
It features many phrases that start on the offbeat, as you might hear in R&B or deep house.
Because of that, the rhythm may feel challenging, but the chorus sits on the downbeat and is easy to groove with.
The overall vocal range is also narrow, so among his works, this can be considered a relatively easy song.
Wonderful LifeHirai Dai92rank/position
This track by Dai Hirai features a relaxed sound highlighted by the ukulele.
It was also selected as the official tie-in song for the Tokyo Camping Car Show 2023, and it really conveys the excitement of setting out on a trip.
The beach-inspired sound—one of Hirai’s trademarks—evokes scenes of cherishing time with friends.
With his sweetest vocals on full display, this is a song you’ll want to sit back and savor.
Take this opportunity to give it a careful listen.
me+youHirai Dai93rank/position
“me＋you,” with its seaside-inspired sound design and sweet lyrics, is lovely.
It’s included on the 2019 album THE GIFT.
The song averages around mid2F and tops out at hiD.
Because the overall range is on the higher side for a typical female vocal range, it’s recommended for women or people with higher voices.
The talk-like singing style leaves a strong impression, so keeping that delivery in mind may work well.
With its gentle, easy-to-sing mood, it should help ease nerves and fit not only in karaoke settings but anywhere you perform.
What is hereHirai Dai94rank/position
A heartbreaking ballad from the November 2020 “12th consecutive release project,” it marks a departure from his usual style by featuring only piano and strings, without ukulele or acoustic guitar.
The orchestral music video also became a hot topic! At 3:41, the song is surprisingly short, making it an easy entry point for first-time listeners of Dai Hirai.
“Koko ni Aru Mono” spans A#2 to B4 overall, with the low notes in the A melody being the key focus.
If you’re not used to low notes, your voice can get muffled and even hard for you to hear, making it tough to sing.
Lift your facial muscles firmly to resonate those lows! Raise your eyebrows and facial muscles as you inhale through your mouth, then, keeping that expression, slowly project your voice right in front of you.
The key is to release a compact “mass” of breath as if pushing it out!
TreasureHirai Dai95rank/position
A medium-tempo number by Dai Hirai whose lyrics really sink in.
Chosen as the theme song for SoftBank’s web drama commercial “Treasure, Forever,” it was the first track of 2021 delivered in the Sunday serial release series under the banner “Sunday Goods.” The rhythmic, laid-back acoustic sound and rap-style vocals feel so good, and the lyrics are simply wonderful.
They make you realize the importance of everyday moments.
Sipping your favorite drink and unwinding, or having a casual chat with someone special—this song makes you want to savor those small happinesses.

What are the moments that feel like “treasures” to you?
Waikiki Lonely BoyHirai Dai96rank/position
When you think of Dai Hirai, many people probably picture a musical style influenced by Hawaiian music.
If you want to fully savor that side of him, look no further than Waikiki Lonely Boy.
This piece is distilled into a simple arrangement of just ukulele and vocals, with a languid, wistful mood permeating the entire track.
Because this kind of setup tends to spotlight the vocals, it’s unexpectedly challenging; however, the vocal line here doesn’t reach into high registers and the tempo is relaxed, making it very easy to sing.
A perfect pair.Hirai Dai97rank/position
HIRAIDAI’s surf music, marked by its pleasant acoustic sound, shines here.
Released to coincide with the 2025 beach festival “HIRAIDAI presents THE BEACH TRIP 2025,” this track tenderly sings about everyday life with a lover and the beauty in small moments.
Its warm vocals and melodies soothe the listener’s heart.
When you want to spend calm, cherished time with someone special, this song is a perfect fit.
On the starHirai Dai98rank/position
This is a beautiful ballad by Dai Hirai that sings of a bittersweet love, entrusting one’s feelings to the stars shimmering in the Tanabata night sky.
Included on the May 2015 album “Slow & Easy,” the song is marked by a gentle melody woven from surf music and acoustic sounds.
It will deeply resonate with those in long-distance relationships or anyone carrying feelings for someone they can’t easily meet.
Sung with Hirai’s warm vocals, the lyrics are sure to make for a special moment when listened to under the starry sky.
On Tanabata night, why not listen to it while gazing up at the heavens with someone you love?
the staircase of days that continues foreverHirai Dai99rank/position
It’s a dramatic love song filled with warm yet powerful messages of love and gratitude that are so characteristic of Dai Hirai! The lyric video on YouTube uses simple visuals to convey the world of the lyrics, deepening the emotional impact of the track.
With an overall vocal range of C#3 to A#4, it sits comfortably for many male singers, so plenty of people will likely find it easy to sing.
At 3 minutes and 14 seconds, the song is also on the shorter side, making it easy to memorize.
For the chorus melody where the song title is sung, if you focus on the initial accent and give it a forward attack, you’ll avoid getting hung up and fall naturally into the rhythm.
The key is to sing it fluidly!
We’ll check the answers after dessert.Hirai Dai100rank/position

Its driving, up-tempo melody and refreshing arrangement naturally lift your spirits just by listening.
The message—don’t rush the results; live true to yourself—will likely give courage to those feeling uncertain in their daily choices.
It’s an exhilarating pop tune whose uplifting lyrics recharge you for tomorrow.
