[Karaoke] A Collection of Easy-to-Sing Songs by Dai Hirai (21–30)

HomeHirai Dai

“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.

me+youHirai Dai

“me+you,” with its seaside-inspired sound design and sweet lyrics, is lovely.

It’s included on the 2019 album THE GIFT.

The song averages around mid2F and tops out at hiD.

Because the overall range is on the higher side for a typical female vocal range, it’s recommended for women or people with higher voices.

The talk-like singing style leaves a strong impression, so keeping that delivery in mind may work well.

With its gentle, easy-to-sing mood, it should help ease nerves and fit not only in karaoke settings but anywhere you perform.

Promise by Dai Hirai

The love song “Promise,” which vows eternal love, is an early track included on the 2014 album “ALOOOOHANA!!”.

With its bright, uplifting mood that livens up any karaoke setting, this song sits slightly higher in vocal range among Dai Hirai’s works.

It features falsetto up to high B (hi B) and brings out the highest chest voice notes in the last chorus, so it’s best to sing with an open throat.

The pitch range is about average for male vocals, making it relatively easy to sing for men with slightly higher voices.

Waikiki Lonely Boy by Dai Hirai

When you think of Dai Hirai, many people probably picture a musical style influenced by Hawaiian music.

If you want to fully savor that side of him, look no further than Waikiki Lonely Boy.

This piece is distilled into a simple arrangement of just ukulele and vocals, with a languid, wistful mood permeating the entire track.

Because this kind of setup tends to spotlight the vocals, it’s unexpectedly challenging; however, the vocal line here doesn’t reach into high registers and the tempo is relaxed, making it very easy to sing.
