1. HERO
I like how the tune starts with Blaise and Maynard opening the song acapella style. Unlike “Headlight”, this is more of a traditional ballad from them but I have to say I really like hearing the two singing since their vocals are great for this song (even though it’s still a Blaise-fest). It’s not as strong of a song like “Headlight” was, but it’s pretty solid of a song.
2. HERO -English version-
Like it says, it’s in English and otherwise it’s not really all that different musically so it’s just a shift of lyrics. Even though I’m kind of surprised that it’s 10 seconds longer…wht? I will say that it’s easier for Westerners because it’s easier to understand the song. It’s actually quite romantic and deep which is typically MOMAJIK’s best assets! I think I’d rather listen to this version.
3. Headlight -DJ Mitsu the Beats remix-
Talking about Headlight, we get a remix of the song, (y’know, the same guys that remixed “Aishiteru” a while ago). Headlight got toned down quite a bit and seems like it’s a lullaby…odd. It wasn’t resung either so it’s just a little bland actually. It just took out what made the original awesome…
MOMAJIK’s HERO isn’t quite as up to snuff like “Headlight” was but that’s alright. I will say that I enjoyed the English version of HERO a tad bit more than the Japanese version but I’m it’s just because I can understand it better that way. The remix though for Headlight shouldn’t have happened IMO…I could’ve lived without it haha.
