Queen Bee 'KaeN (FIRE)' Official MV

This is the fifth single by Queen Bee, a band from Hyogo Prefecture, and it was selected as the opening theme for the first cour of the TV anime Dororo.

The main challenge when singing this song is the ultra-high tones achieved through frequent use of falsetto, especially in the chorus.

Another key point is how well you can reproduce the somewhat unresolved, simmering atmosphere that runs throughout the entire track—and how much restraint the singer can maintain while keeping up with it.

Try practicing while studying the contrast between moments that break through and moments that are held back.
