A gem of a love song released in January 2024 that paints feelings for someone far away.

Its lively Motown beat and Shibuya-kei sound weave a beautiful, memorable melody.

Set against the backdrop of Tokyo Station, it delicately depicts scenes of parting and reunion with a loved one, resonating deeply with listeners.

Premiered at live shows and festivals in 2023, it quickly became a hot topic among fans.

The song is said to embody the sentiment that “the farther away something is, the more beautiful it seems.” A must-listen not only for those in long-distance relationships, but for anyone thinking of someone dear.

To the BeachHirai Dai

Hirai Dai’s iconic track “To the Beach” stands out with its groovy feel.

The song evokes disco music, with an impressive low-end beat.

It features many phrases that start on the offbeat, as you might hear in R&B or deep house.

Because of that, the rhythm may feel challenging, but the chorus sits on the downbeat and is easy to groove with.

The overall vocal range is also narrow, so among his works, this can be considered a relatively easy song.

I highly recommend it not only to fans of Vocaloid, but also to rock lovers.

It’s also a great pick if you’re into songs with cool English usage and a strong rock message.
