Lord of Major / Precious Things

“I want to be popular with women!” I think this is a common concern among men.

The songs you choose to sing when you go to karaoke with women can really affect how they see you.

Picking a song nobody knows will kill the vibe, and cutesy songs or breakup ballads aren’t recommended either.

This song by Road of Major is rock, so it doesn’t pander too much to women; it has an energetic sound, yet the lyrics resonate with them.

Plus, it’s easy to sing, so I highly recommend it!

This is a song by Kenshi Yonezu that stirs the heart with its powerful vocals and exhilarating sound.

Produced in June 2017 as the opening theme for the first cour of Season 2 of the Yomiuri TV–affiliated anime “My Hero Academia,” it resonates with the desire to become stronger on nights spent crying over one’s own inadequacy, and with the resolve to become a hero to protect someone important.

The contrast between high and low registers carefully expresses emotional shifts, so when singing, it’s best to pay attention not only to pitch but also to dynamics and phrasing.
