LOVE or HATE?Maeshima Mayu

[Music Video] LOVE or HATE? / Mayu Maeshima [TV Anime “Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss but I’m Not the Demon Lord” OP]
LOVE or HATE?Maeshima Mayu

This is a digital single by Mayu Maeshima, released in January 2024.

It has been selected as the opening theme for the TV anime ‘Villainess Level 99: I May Be the Hidden Boss but I’m Not the Demon Lord.’ With its very powerful high-tone vocals and slightly idiosyncratic singing style and phrasing, it’s a challenging song with several hurdles to clear in order to sing it well.

Precisely for that reason, it’s a track I’d love confident singers to take on.

In addition to requiring consistently powerful vocals throughout, I think feeling the rhythm and groove of the so-called digi-rock backing track is also a crucial point when performing it.

Be sure to study those aspects thoroughly before you try singing it.
