Anime anthem bangers that hype up karaoke [Gather, anime fans!] (131–140)
Aim to be a Pokémon MasterMatsumoto Rika
It’s the opening theme of the anime “Pokémon.” There are many Pokémon opening themes, but for many people, this is the song that comes to mind when you think of Pokémon! It’s sung by Rica Matsumoto, who voices the protagonist Ash Ketchum.
It’s an upbeat song about the dream of becoming a Pokémon Master.
If it shinesGoose house
Released in 2014, it was written as the opening theme for the anime Your Lie in April.
From the intro, it draws you in—a very pop, refreshing, and pleasant track.
With gently encouraging lyrics, you can relax while enjoying the anime’s world.
Taking inspiration from Goose house’s signature harmonies, if everyone sings it together, it’s sure to fill you with happiness!
Until the world endsWANDS
The 8th single chosen in 1994 as the ending theme for the landmark basketball manga SLAM DUNK became a million-seller and one of WANDS’s signature songs.
The lyrics, written by then-vocalist Sho Uesugi, depict loneliness and a sense of loss in the big city, infusing the personal pain of heartbreak with an urgent feeling that hints at the end of the world.
Composed by Tetsuro Oda, the driving melody merges perfectly with Uesugi’s soul-stirring vocals.
The song reached No.
1 on the Oricon weekly chart and stayed in the Top 10 for nine consecutive weeks.
For those who spent their youth with the anime, just hearing it may bring back a flood of memories.
It’s a classic that’s guaranteed to unite the room when everyone belts out the chorus at karaoke.
You’re crazy.dandadan
Sung by WurtS, this track is a pleasant listen that blends dance music elements into a simple, band-driven sound.
It served as the ending theme for season 2 of the anime Dandadan, which features yokai and the supernatural.
The lyrics incorporate the anime’s setting and convey a poignant emotional sway—the frustration of wanting to express your feelings but being clumsy and overcomplicating things.
It’s recommended as party background music with anime-loving friends or for getting hyped at karaoke.
For RealTokuyama Hidenori
Hidenori Tokuyama also appears as a voice actor in the main series, playing the character Tojō.
He sings the later opening theme of Saiyuki, “STILL TIME,” but this song feels more proactive, more dynamic, and has a better tempo than that one.
Its stylish vibe suits Saiyuki very well.
It’s a song I’d love to hear sung powerfully all the way through at karaoke.
Rousing! Imperial Assault ForceSakura Shinguji (CV: Chisa Yokoyama), Imperial Revue
This is the theme song of the Taisho-romance series Sakura Wars.
Depending on your generation, this might be the quintessential anime song that comes to mind.
Its fiery energy and cool vibe never feel dated across generations, gripping listeners’ hearts and never letting go.
It’s also popular among overseas anime fans.
DororoASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
This is the theme song for Dororo, which Osamu Tezuka began serializing in 1969 and, remarkably, was remade into an anime 50 years later in 2019.
It’s a quintessential guitar rock track by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION—leaders of Japanese guitar rock who have released songs through a variety of approaches—and it’s a hype, high-energy listen.
It’s an anime song that convincingly conveys the monstrous vibe faithful to the original, and it truly hits the mark.
