Japanese singer-songwriter HIRAIDAI has launched a new
monthly series of EP releases titled ‘LUCKY BAG’, which will include brand-new
songs, past tracks that HIRAIDAI personally selected for each month’s EP, and
demo-style songs recorded in one take on an iPhone. The first EP in the series,
‘Good-bye to Yesterday’, was released today on all digital
platforms.
The theme of the first EP in the series is
“songs to listen to after the rain”. The EP features six songs, including the
love song ‘Boku ga Kimi ni Dekiru
Koto’ in 2020, a new
version of hissong in
2014 ‘The Light (Home Rec Demo)’ recorded at home
in one take for this EP. Track list (Theme: songs to listen to after
the rain)
Good-bye to Yesterday
I’m now here
A Song for You
Sunshine and Rainbow
The Light (Home Rec Demo)
Boku ga Kimi ni
Dekiru Koto
The title track ‘Good-bye to Yesterday’ is
brand new – a grand and emotional song that gracefully depicts the struggles we
overcome as we move forward with positivity, under the changing patterns of the
sky, into a brighter future. The video shows the drizzling rain as it
finally clears – a fitting, comforting depiction of the themes of the song.
To coincide with the release of the ‘LUCKY
BAG’ series, HIRAIDAI’s official app ‘LOSL’ will open monthly
calendar-style wallpapers that show like his
tour schedule and release information, so don’t miss out.
“I decided to release
the ‘LUCKY BAG’ series as a way to share a selection of my latest songs, along
with older songs that suit the new material when listened to together, and
demos that I created as rough works at home. I hope you’ll enjoy seeing what’s
in the bag each month,” shares HIRAIDAI.
