朝日の差す廊下
遠くに見える君の姿
少し手を伸ばして
何気なく繋げたら
少しでいい ほんの少しでいい
君と話すきっかけを僕にくれないか
校庭に植えたシャクヤクのように
そんな綺麗じゃないけれど
ただ好きなんだよ
この気持ちが言葉に表せなくて
たったこの一言 伝えたいけど胸が苦しくて
叶わないかもしれない恋追いかけて
どうしようもないくらい本気で好きだから
後悔はしてない したくない ずっと君を見ていた
今はまだその願いは叶わない
〈 演奏 〉
放課後見つけたんだ
駐輪場君の姿
少しでいい ほんの少しでいい
君の中に僕を置いてちゃくれないか
試験前に答え確かめるように
余裕見せられないけれど
ただ好きなんだよ
この気持ちが言葉に表れそうになって
君を困らせては くさいジョークで意味を曇らせて
「そばにいるだけいい」なんてのは言い訳で
どうしようもないエゴを知られたくはなくて
君の好きな色 君の好きな人
全部知ってるけど 不正解なままの僕です
溢れ出すこの気持ちにシャクヤクの花を
歌にして渡せられたのなら
この気持ちが言葉に表せなくて
たったこの一言 伝えたいけど今も苦しくて
後悔はしてない したくない ずっと君を見ていた
今はまだその願いは
ただ好きなんだよ
この気持ちが言葉に表せた時君は
どんな顔をして驚いてくれるのかな
叶わないかもしれない そんなのわかってるけど
どうしようもないくらい本気で好きだから
後悔もしてたい 忘れない 想いが届かなくても
少しでも嬉しいならかまわない

Hirai New Single Shakuyaku
I could never say I like you until the very end
From the school hallway in the morning to the bicycle parking area after class and the flowers blooming in the schoolyard
This song portrays a growing unspoken love hidden within ordinary everyday moments
Built around warm acoustic guitar sounds and emotional band arrangements the song combines heartfelt lyrics with a bittersweet atmosphere that brings back memories of young love
For anyone who has ever had feelings they could not put into words
I hope this song reaches your heart
Artist Profile
-HIRAI-
Born on August 22, 2000, in Shiga Prefecture, Japan, HIRAI is a singer-songwriter currently based in Tokyo. In 2021, he moved from his hometown of Shiga to Tokyo. While attending vocational school, a singing video he posted on TikTok gained attention, helping him build a growing audience through social media. Today, he has more than 40,000 followers across his social media platforms, including over 11,800 followers on Instagram. Through street performances, live events, and social media, he continues to share his music with audiences across Japan. While pursuing music, HIRAI also worked as a hairstylist. In late 2023, he left the profession and made the decision to dedicate himself fully to his career as a singer-songwriter. During junior high school, HIRAI stopped attending school after struggling to adjust following a move. At one of the lowest points in his life, he discovered music and began to sing. He realized that through music, he could honestly express how he felt. That experience became the foundation of everything he does today. Drawing from his own experiences, HIRAI carries the message: Just being alive is enough. Bringing you hope to keep living. Alongside his music career, he is committed to supporting others through music. He performs at facilities that support children who are unable to attend school, visits children's homes, and gives talks and live performances at school-refusal support facilities. His first original song, Muchi, was written as a message to his younger self and to those who may be struggling with similar feelings. The song has surpassed 1 million UGC and short-form video views and 50,000 streams, milestones recognized by TuneCore Japan. An Instagram Reel featuring Muchi has reached over 682,000 views, while more than 1,500 TikTok posts have used the song. Its official music video on YouTube has surpassed 12,000 views, and the song has also received multiple airplays on FM radio stations across Japan. HIRAI continues to actively release original music, perform at live events and street performances throughout Japan, and connect with listeners through social media. His ultimate goal is to perform at the Nippon Budokan. Just as music once gave him hope, HIRAI now hopes that his own songs can become a source of hope for someone else. With that purpose in his heart, he continues to sing and share his music every day.
