Curtain call

It’s the opening theme for cour 2 of Season 7 of the TV anime My Hero Academia.

The song’s overall vocal range is E3–A4, which should be comfortable for both male and female singers.

You might stumble if you haven’t memorized the chorus lyrics, so it’s a good idea to listen thoroughly before singing.

There’s also a switch between chest voice and falsetto in the bridge (C melody).

When moving into falsetto, aim to place it gently so it sits correctly.

If you imagine placing your hand upward toward your head at that moment, you can produce a soft, airy falsetto.

Also, try to resonate in your chest without tensing too much—you’ll find it easier to sing that way.
