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

A Vocaloid producer who is also a music writerWakachan Araki
I’ve worked in a variety of roles—regardless of pro or amateur settings—including live event PA, cameraman for video and photography, restaurant staff, and logistics center staff. I now spend my days as a part-time writer. I’ve contributed to music and manga websites with feature/review articles, and wrote the liner notes included as a bonus for 1st PLACE Inc.’s “IA SUPER BEST.” As for my music background, I started playing guitar in junior high and focused on band activities during my school years. For over 15 years since then, up to the present, I’ve continued releasing original tracks as a Vocaloid producer. My areas of expertise are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

Among today’s music trends, one genre drawing a lot of attention is anime songs—“anisong.” It’s no longer uncommon for artists to break out after their track is chosen as an anime theme.

And there are so many you’ll want to try singing at karaoke! Still, you might find yourself thinking, “I don’t know which songs are popular,” or “I’m worried whether the songs I like will go over well…” That’s why this article introduces hype, crowd-pleasing picks from hugely popular anisong tracks.

If you check this when you’re unsure what to sing at karaoke, you’ll be able to pick a song that perfectly matches the vibe of the room!

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

Snow, silence, by the window. Yuki Nagato (CV: 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.

One-third of Pure Feelings - SIAM SHADE

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.

A lively sound with a Japanese flair.

This is the ninth single by the music group EGOIST, chosen as the theme song for the theatrical anime Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress: The Battle of Unato.

Its passionate lyrics are striking, giving you the energy to face tomorrow as you listen.

It might be fun to sing it together while dancing.

Although it features female vocals, it’s also recommended for men.

Wild SideAli

TV anime “BEASTARS” Non-Credit OP

Wild SideAli

This is a very stylish song that was used as the opening theme for the TV anime BEASTARS.

Centered on jazz, its sound—woven from many layers—captures our ears.

Riding on that music is a powerful vocal performance that is sometimes smooth and sometimes delivered like a striking blow.

It’s a very challenging song, but it has a charm that makes you want to practice until you can sing it.

Betrayal at Sunset THEATRE BROOK

This is the opening theme of the anime Durarara!!!, which is based on a light novel.

Above all, its dark vibe is irresistibly cool and perfectly matches the anime’s worldview.

It’s a song I’d love to hear sung coolly by a male vocalist.

Touch offUVERworld

TV anime The Promised Neverland non-credit opening

Touch offUVERworld

Let’s get hyped with some energetic mixture rock! It’s the opening theme of the anime The Promised Neverland.

The song is by the band UVERworld, who have done numerous anime theme songs, and it was released in 2019 as their 34th single.

Both the lyrics and the vocals are fiery and cool.

Listening to it really fires you up and gets you motivated.

It’s great when sung by a man, of course, but if a woman can sing this, she’ll bring the house down at karaoke.
