Anime Anthem Bangers That Hype Up Karaoke [Gather, Anime Fans!]

O2ORANGE RANGE

ORANGE RANGE – O2

A song by a Japanese crossover band that Okinawa is proud of.

It’s their 20th single.

It was used as the theme song for the anime Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2.

It also marked their first attempt at having YAMATO as the lead vocalist at the time.

With ORANGE RANGE’s signature grand worldview and lyrics about joining hands to overcome obstacles together, the powerful performance makes it easy to get into—both listening and singing along! It might also be fun to split up the parts and sing cooperatively, like RYO’s low-tone rap.

Until the world ends…WANDS

Nicholas Edwards – Until the World Ends… (WANDS Acoustic Cover)

This is the opening theme of SLAM DUNK, which aired in 1993.

It’s a classic among classics, isn’t it? Since it was tied in during a crucial period in the story, many people probably remember it along with the anime visuals.

It’s a song you can’t listen to without tears.

If I sing to the skyamazarashi

amazarashi “Sing to the Sky” Music Video | My Hero Academia opening theme

This is a song from the popular anime My Hero Academia.

Speaking of amazarashi, they have many other great songs too, like the Tokyo Ghoul ending theme “Seasons Keep Passing, Each One Dying.” The C-melody’s monologue-like spoken part is incredibly cool and really resonates with the heart.

Snow, silent, by the window.Nagato Yuki (CV: Chihara Minori)

Snow, Silent, by the Window. Yuki Nagato (Minori Chihara)

An image song for Yuki Nagato, a character from the smash-hit, quintessential 2000s anime The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya.

Minori Chihara, who plays the same role, delivers vocals that faithfully match the character.

Even from the title, it feels like a song you’d want to listen to in winter.

While it retains a delicate worldview, it doesn’t get overly mellow like a ballad—the string-driven, brisk tempo makes it easy to get into.

It’s a great pick not only for fans of the Haruhi series, but also for creating a solid mid-set boost at karaoke.

A third of pure-hearted feelings

This is the theme from Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story, which aired in 1996.

Its wistful melody evokes Kenshin and Kaoru in the story, making it a song you can’t help but get emotionally invested in.

It has a mature atmosphere that you wouldn’t expect from a shonen anime’s theme song.

Once you hear it, it leaves such an impact that it won’t leave your head.

You’ll be gripped by the emotional rock sound! This work by SIX LOUNGE, a three-piece band from Oita, has been selected as the opening theme for cour 3 of the TV anime BLEACH: Thousand-Year Blood War – Conflict Arc.

It’s their first-ever anime theme song.

The lyrics, which depict a deep trust and bond where you can understand each other just by meeting eyes without exchanging words, mesh perfectly with the anime’s worldview.

The straightforward band ensemble of guitar, bass, and drums packs a powerful punch! Listen while thinking of your precious companions, and you’re sure to feel your passion welling up.
