Japanese Singer-Songwriter HIRAIDAI Releases MVs for New Songs: "Lovely Day, Lovely Place." & "Surf ’n Turf"

Japanese singer-songwriter HIRAIDAI recently released music videos for the songs "Lovely Day, Lovely Place." and "Surf ’n Turf", two tracks taken from his new EP "SURF & TURF". Details on this EP, as well as links to both music and the MVs, can be found below!

​The EP was produced to coincide with a beach festival produced by HIRAIDAI, titled "HIRAIDAI presents THE BEACH TRIP 2023", which was held in May at Sennan Long Park in Osaka and in June at ZOZO Marine Stadium in Chiba. "Lovely Day, Lovely Place." became a highlight when it was premiered at these shows, performed live in front of 15,000 fans in Osaka and 30,000 in Chiba.

The EP "SURF & TURF" contains five gems that reflect the very essence of HIRAIDAI, taking in genres such as country and surf music. The pop melody and fiddle hooks on ‘Lovely Day, Lovely Place.’ give it a country flavor, while the lyrics flit seamlessly between English and Japanese, resulting in a supremely listenable song. The music video for ‘Lovely Day, Lovely Place.’ includes live footage and behind-the-scenes footage from THE BEACH TRIP 2023, with 8mm film footage also interwoven to create a warm, analogue feel.

In addition, a music video for "Surf ’n Turf" with full English subtitles has also been released. Photographer Lady Brown Pictures, HIRAIDAI’s partner both professionally and privately, helmed the camera. She films casual scenes from HIRAIDAI’s daily life in a natural way, interwoven with evocative images of places they have visited together, making it an intensely personal work that could only have been created by them. Check out the nostalgic and heartfelt imagery that perfectly complements the song.
