NaturallyHirai Dai86rank/position

Hirai Dai is known for his bright, uplifting musical style.

Among his works, “Naturally” is an especially fresh track that’s perfect for sunny days.

Its reggae-like sense of rhythm is distinctive, and because the tempo isn’t fast, it’s very easy to sing.

However, without pronunciation that gives Japanese a more English-like sound, like Hirai Dai’s, it can be hard to make the song sound cool.

When singing, try rolling your “r” sounds more strongly, and pronouncing “a” more like the “ae” sound, among other tweaks.

The transparent sound of the intro feels like it heralds the arrival of spring, giving a gentle push toward a new everyday life.

“SONG FOR TWO” is a sophisticated track with a nighttime vibe that’s a bit different from what we’ve done before.

Surf’s UpHirai Dai91rank/position

The masterpiece “Surf’s Up,” notable for its pop-rock style, leaves a strong impression.

It’s an early work by Dai Hirai, characterized by a musicality reminiscent of Avril Lavigne.

There are two points that make this song easy to sing.

First, it has a narrow vocal range, which is a huge plus for those who struggle with high notes.

Second, the rhythm is easy to follow.

It’s structured around a classic 8-beat pattern, which is extremely common in Japanese pop, so you shouldn’t have any trouble with the pickup or the start of the vocals.
