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

HomeHirai Dai78rank/position

“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.

Nearly half of the lyrics are in English, and the highest note is hi C#; with repeated practice, you’ll grow more comfortable.

The pitch movement isn’t extreme and stays stable, so ride the quick tempo and sing with a strong sense of rhythm.

If you approach it with a soft, relaxed feel like Dai Hirai, it should become even easier to sing.

I don’t want to miss a thingHirai Dai79rank/position

Aerosmith is one of America’s most iconic rock bands.

When it comes to their signature songs, “I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing” definitely comes to mind.

Even if the title doesn’t ring a bell, you’ll probably remember it as the song from the movie Armageddon.

In fact, there’s also a cover version by Dai Hirai.

Compared to the original, the melody is gentler and carries a more sorrowful tone.

It has a different kind of appeal, so be sure to check it out.

I’ll be there for youHirai Dai80rank/position

Hirai Dai’s masterpiece “I’ll be there for you,” which depicts parting with a loved one.

Its melody is memorable, with the feel of acoustic Western pop music.

In this piece, while the instrumentation follows orthodox pop, the vocal line is somewhat intricate.

It’s not exactly difficult, but because the flow is closer to Western music, that part may be challenging.

Specifically, there are instances where two or more vowels are sung on a single note.

To sing this smoothly, in addition to clear articulation, you’ll need to memorize the vocal lines in units of lyric phrases.

Island Queen feat.

ALEXXX, a masterpiece by Dai Hirai, is notable for its sweet lyrics and catchy melody.

Because the song is sung in a low register throughout, it’s recommended even for those who struggle with high notes.

There’s a light falsetto in both the pre-chorus and the chorus.

In the pre-chorus, it appears only briefly, so focus more on matching the pitch than on producing a perfectly clean tone.

In the chorus, it shows up in the backing vocals, so if you’re singing it at karaoke, a good option is to let the guide vocal handle that part.

That said, neither falsetto section is particularly difficult, so give it a try.

Singer-songwriter Dai Hirai is loved by a wide range of generations for his warm sound rooted in surf rock and acoustic pop.

This is the title track of the EP “LALALA (Baby it takes two),” which was released on November 26, 2025, and it was chosen as the image song for Christmas markets held in five locations across Japan.

The piece features an evocative acoustic guitar tone.

It’s a winter song that sings about the preciousness of everyday life spent with someone special, delivering a message that sharing feelings as a pair brings color to our days—a sentiment that truly resonates.

A perfect track for the holiday season.

Lonely Beachy StoryHirai Dai84rank/position

Lonely Beachy StoryHirai Dai

Hirai Dai’s classic “Lonely Beachy Story” is rich with reggae elements.

The drums place accents on the third beat of each measure, and there are also accents on beats two and four in 4/4 time—features that are quintessentially reggae.

The rhythm can be a bit challenging for Japanese singers, but you should be able to sing it as long as you really feel the groove.

However, since the song uses a lot of falsetto, adjusting the key is necessary.

Because much of the falsetto sits in the lower range, raising the key to make the falsetto easier to produce is actually recommended.
