[2026] Recommended for men in their 40s! A roundup of anime songs you’ll want to sing at karaoke

Future Boy ConanKamata Naozumi

Future Boy Conan OP ED

Even with Conan, there was Future Boy Conan—an anime produced by Nippon Animation that could be called a predecessor to Ghibli, and it evokes the feeling of today’s Laputa.

It truly had a futuristic vibe, and I felt it was a work that expanded the imagination and dreams.

Conan and the heroine are very cute, leaving an impression of freshness and innocence.

Ojamajo Carnival!!MAHO dō

[High Quality] Ojamajo Carnival 5-Person Ver.

We recommend Ojamajo Carnival!! for anyone who wants to listen to a super-energetic anime song.

Those who watched the anime back then can probably still hum this tune—it’s that memorable, with easy-to-remember lyrics and a catchy melody.

The rhythmic melody line in the chorus is sure to be fun to sing at karaoke.

Kinnikuman Go Fight!Kushida Akira

KINNIKUMAN OP – Kinnikuman Go Fight! Vocal cover

I think it’s a song that any man in his 40s would know—the first opening theme of the anime adaptation of the manga Kinnikuman, which dominated its era.

Since we got used to Akira Kushida’s soulful singing style when we were kids, people tend to imitate his way of singing at karaoke.

Aren’t there many men in their 40s who want to sing the anime theme songs from their own boyhood?

Lucky Man’s SongYashiro Aki

Very!! Lucky Man OP Full 'The Song of Lucky Man'

Aki Yashiro’s “Lucky Man no Uta,” beloved as the opening theme for the anime “Totto! Luckyman,” has been a special, nostalgia-filled song for people in their 30s since its 1994 release.

The anime itself depicts the exploits of Luckyman, a hero blessed by the stars of fortune, and this song, with its catchy melody, gives listeners the energy to face each day with positivity.

Yashiro’s vocals—both powerful and relaxed—offer a perspective that helps us find small joys in everyday life and bring a refreshing breeze to the heart.

It’s an enduring classic that anyone will find themselves humming along to.

I’m only gazing at you.Daikoku Maki

I'm only gazing at you.

The moving 1993 hit “Anata Dake Mitsumeteru” is a classic that deeply resonates with people in their 30s who remember that era.

Chosen as the ending theme for the TV anime SLAM DUNK, the song continues to be loved by many fans today.

Maki Ohguro’s passionate vocals and lyrics that vividly express a woman in love deliver an undying sense of emotion.

The way she portrays romance is sprinkled with the trends and culture of the time, conveying the spirit of the ’90s to the present.

Why not listen again and relive those unforgettable, fiery feelings?

Doraemon SongYamano Satoko

Doraemon Song Satoko Yamano [Doraemon 50th Anniversary]

It’s the theme song of the national anime Doraemon.

For those in their 30s, when you think of Doraemon, this song comes to mind more than the theme that came after the voice cast changed.

Depending on the era, various voice actors, artists, and celebrities have performed it.

Part of the fun is looking for the version you like best.

CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LAKageyama Hironobu

CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA (2005 ver.)

Once the intro starts playing, your excitement shoots through the roof—what a classic, “CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA.” All the Dragon Ball tracks are amazing, but this one is absolutely essential.

The lyrics and vocals are so thrilling you can’t help but think, “Now this is an anime song!” For those of that generation, it’s an irresistible tune.

And now that we’re adults, this song can still give us a real boost of energy!
