Hirai Dai Popular Songs Ranking [2026] (81–90)

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.

Because the visuals focus mainly on text-based explanations, the details are communicated clearly.

In addition to the thorough explanations, the smiles of the cast strongly emphasize a sense of reassurance.

The song used is Dai Hirai’s “I’m now here,” whose gentle and grand sound evokes a comforting sense of security.

LALALA (Baby it takes two)Hirai Dai

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.

Love & HappinessHirai Dai85rank/position

Dai Hirai / Love & Happiness (Let’s Be a Santa) (Lyric Video)
Love & HappinessHirai Dai

Brimming with the spirit of Christmas, this song features Dai Hirai’s warm voice and soothing melody.

The lyrics express love and gratitude for someone special, making it a wonderful track to brighten a special night during the holiday season.

Released in November 2022 as part of a collaboration project with Starbucks, the song’s lyrics—woven with the love-filled words characteristic of Dai Hirai—deliver a heartfelt message to those of us who tend to forget gratitude amid our busy daily lives.

Use it in an Instagram Reel, and it will make your Christmas memories even more delightful.

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.

Released on March 8, 2023 and chosen as the theme song for “Koisuru Weekend Homestay 2023 Spring ~Sweet Orange Memory~,” Dai Hirai’s “Orange Days” portrays the sweet-and-sour flavor of youth with a melody that is both wistful and warm.

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

The lyrics, which evoke blue skies and crimson sunsets, are likely to resonate with various feelings such as love and friendship.

While accompanying the many stories that are about to begin, it fills listeners’ hearts with positive energy.

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

You’ll hear smooth, almost foreign-singer-like English and a poignant touch woven into an exhilarating four-on-the-floor dance beat—EDM with a bittersweet feel.

It’s a mood-rich number that steps away from island music.
