Do you prefer male or female singers for OP in Otome/BL?

[kazis]

I never thought about it until I came across an otome opening with a male singer The song was great and went straight into my playlist! (btw how often do you listen to tracks from VNs?) But I realized that for my otome I strangely prefer a female singer. I guess I connect the opening song with the MC, like, the song should tell me something about her future struggles or her view on the world/conflict, so I'm expecting a female singer
Are there a lot of OPs with male singers in otome anyway?..
As for BL, I think I don't really care who sings it. Maybe because I'm more detached from the MC, so it's like someone is telling me a story?.. Not sure.

I like to have male singers, especially when Lis actors are singing it! (looking at Jack Jeanne) But if song is good and vibes with the game itself - anything is good. Even music without words can be great (there is Hana Awase example)

I prefer male singers, my reasoning its the same as your but with reversed roles haha, i want to learn about the perspective of the love interest

Doesn't matter actually, as long as it's good music. But it's better that the lyrics match the gender of the singer, for example, female for the heart of heroine and male for the main characters~~~

Oh yes, that's probably the most important thing!

After all the replies, I think it'd be nice to hear an op from LI's point of view as well.

It's kind of rare to find a male singer doing an opening for a otome game and that's one of the biggest reasons why I'm choosing female in this question but I don't mind a male singer, I want more Tbf
