Hirai Dai Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (71–80)

ALOHAHirai Dai71rank/position

Built around the greeting “Aloha,” which in Hawaii carries meanings of love and compassion, this song is quintessentially Dai Hirai, delivering healing and happy vibes with its acoustic sound and positive lyrics! It has a lively tempo and includes English lyrics, but since it basically uses the same melody and the same phrases, once you learn it, it should be easy to sing.

The key is to get into the rhythm—try keeping time with a bouncy, upbeat groove.

It’s recommended to learn it while looking at the lyrics from the start!

This track, brimming with pop vibes—cheerful piano, handclaps, and a DJ’s voice—feels perfect for a sunny outdoor festival.

It’s an early song featured on the 2012 debut album “ALOHA.” Enjoy the irresistibly light and catchy island music!

FAMILY SONGHirai Dai73rank/position

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.

A singer-songwriter drawing attention for a unique sound rooted in surf music and an organic lifestyle that lends persuasive credibility to that musical style—Dai Hirai.

This track, included on his fourth album, “Life is Beautiful,” features a band sound highlighted by the gentle tones of the ukulele that feels oh so pleasant.

The lyrics, which evoke encounters with friends and a future that stretches on forever, resonate with the messages often found in pre-graduation memory videos.

With its dramatic arrangement that brings back memories of youth, it’s a refreshing number that’s also popular for TikTok memory videos.

For The FutureHirai Dai75rank/position

For The FutureHirai Dai

Hirai Dai’s early work “For The Future.” At this stage, rather than the polished, Western-style melodies he’s known for now, it features distinctly Japanese melodies.

As for pronunciation, it doesn’t emphasize his unique “r” or “ae,” so even those who aren’t confident singers should find it easy to sing.

There’s no falsetto or long sustained notes, so people unsure about their vocal quality can feel at ease.

If you want to sing it in a cooler, more stylish way, it’s a good idea to refer to his current singing style in live performance videos.

In the commercial “Father and Daughter Car Wash” for the Swift, a compact car with an appealing sporty look, Anna Yamada is shown washing a car.

Yamada is washing an orange Swift, but next to her, her father is washing a blue Swift; the way they playfully argue over which Swift looks cooler is quite heartwarming! The background music features Dai Hirai’s “Greatest Journey,” an upbeat, bright, fast-paced track that perfectly suits a driving soundtrack.

A song by singer-songwriter Dai Hirai, who has won support especially among younger generations for his organic music and lifestyle.

The message, which makes you appreciate the preciousness of everyday life, seems to cast light on a world filled with grim news.

With positive lyrics and an emotional ensemble, it’s a track that feels good to hear and inspires hope for the future.
