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.
