Editor-in-Chief, RAG MUSICKeisuke Hane
Editor-in-chief of RAG MUSIC. JFC-certified fact-checker. After working in a music studio and handling wedding sound, joined the RAG MUSIC editorial team in 2016. Experienced with a variety of instruments: marching band in elementary school, clarinet in junior high school wind ensemble, and drums in a band from high school onward. Drawing on my own musical activities and the experience gained through my work, I produce daily articles, including various song introductions, features on music festivals around the country, and live reports. In music, I enjoy not only rock from Japan and abroad but, lately, a wide range of J-pop as well.

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.

Anime is a culture that has continued to expand with the times.

Back in the day, labels like “hero stories,” “magical girl,” or “mecha” were enough to explain what kind of show it was, but now words alone just aren’t enough.

That’s how big a scene it has become.

In this article, we’re doing a special feature on anime songs recommended for men.

From nostalgic, heart-pounding tracks to relatively recent releases,

it’s a lineup packed with masterpieces.

It may undermine the premise a bit to say this, but although we’re calling them “recommended for men,” there are surely songs here that will resonate with women too.

Please take your time and enjoy it to the end.

Get Fired Up! Recommended Anime Songs for Men [Classics & New Hits] (71–80)

GeGeGe no KitaroIkuzo Yoshi

[Official] Anime 'GeGeGe no Kitaro (Season 3)' Opening Video: Ikuzo Yoshi - 'GeGeGe no Kitaro' / GeGeGe no Kitaro

GeGeGe no Kitaro Yoshikazu Ikuzo

When it comes to nostalgic anime, GeGeGe no Kitaro surely comes to mind.

It began airing in the 1960s and continues to be beloved to this day.

Its theme song is one that just about everyone in Japan can hum, making it deeply familiar to many.

Since the series has multiple versions across different eras, I also recommend checking those out.

Getter Robo!Isao Sasaki

Gait Getta, Three-in-One Invincible Hero, First Generation Getter Robo, Getter Robo OP, Getter Robo! AI 4K, Chinese–Japanese Subtitles (MAD·AMV) (Memory Series)

Getter Robo! Isao Sasaki

Back then, anime theme songs stuffed the lyrics with things like the title and the hero’s special moves, which makes them fundamentally different from today’s anison.

The chord progression is the most classic of classic minor progressions.

With a slight change in arrangement, it could practically be hard rock.

That’s probably why they get everyone hyped at karaoke.

The songs are great, but I also recommend the main show itself, where three machines pull off an outrageous combination.

It’s really fun.

GAIKINGPsychic Lover

Gaiking LOD OP FULL / “GAIKING”

GAIKING Psychic Lover

Gaiking: Legend of Daiku-Maryu is a remake of Daikū Maryū Gaiking, but its setting and story have been significantly changed.

Its fiery, classic hero’s tale and high-quality robot action made it popular among mecha anime fans.

Ore TarurutoTARAKO

Magical Taluluto-kun OP

Me TARURUTO TARAKO

Magical Taluluto is a work that depicts the wacky misadventures caused by the wizard Taluluto.

It’s fundamentally a gag comedy, but occasionally features serious story arcs.

The theme song is sung by TARAKO, who also voices Taluluto.

Aim to be a Pokémon Master

Aim to Be a Pokémon Master Rika Matsumoto

Pokémon is a game so popular worldwide it needs no introduction, and it has also enjoyed a long run as an anime.

This song is the very first opening theme, sung by Rika Matsumoto, who plays the protagonist, Ash.

Will the day ever come when Ash becomes a Pokémon Master?

Mysterious AdventureHiroki Takahashi

Dragon Ball Theme Song: Mystical Adventure! Live!

Makafushigi Adventure - Hiroki Takahashi

It’s the theme song of Dragon Ball, one of Japan’s most iconic anime.

A lot of people probably know just the intro and the chorus.

It’s incredibly exciting, so be sure to listen to the full track.

Once you hear it, you’ll want to watch the anime.

It’s a legendary masterpiece in the anime song world that hasn’t lost its shine even today.

lampSoshi Sakiyama

Soushi Sakiyama / Akari [Official Music Video]

Soshi Tomosakiyama

Starting with the gentle tones of an acoustic guitar and expanding into a majestic sound, Soushi Sakiyama’s song was released in July 2023 as the ending theme for the second season of the TV anime Jujutsu Kaisen.

The piece weaves together the protagonist’s inner conflict, regrets, and longing for lost ideals with a tranquil melody, delicately portraying emotions swaying between ideal and reality.

In August 2023, it was also included on the album “i Fureru SAD UFO,” capturing the hearts of many listeners.

The intertwining of tenderness and poignancy in the vocals, along with the beautiful melodic lines, has the power to evoke deep emotion and empathy, making it a recommended choice to sing in a calm karaoke setting.
