"Hai Hai" is a solo album by ex-Supertramp singer/guitarist/keyboardist Roger Hodgson, released in 1987. Co-produced by future No Doubt and Black Crowes producer Jack Joseph Puig, and recorded at Hodgson's 48-track home studio in Nevada City, California, the album is distinguished by a merger of Supertramp-styled progressive pop-rock and extensive use of Los Angeles session musicians and late-1980's synthesizer technology.

Hodgson was unable to fully promote or tour behind Hai Hai, having sustained injuries to both or his wrists in a fall a week after its release. (( [http://www.rogerhodgson.com/documents/bio.html] )) Hodgson would not release a full studio solo album until 2000's "Open the Door".

Hai Hai is scheduled for re-release in Canada on November 14, 2006.
