Get Fired Up! Anime Songs for Men – Classics and New Hits
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.

Let’s Get Fired Up! Recommended Anime Songs for Men [Classics & New Releases] (21–30)
The Zero Sense10-FEET
A track included on 10-FEET’s album Collins.
The intro layers an electric programmed sound with a heavy, signature 10-FEET guitar riff—seriously cool—and it always fires up the crowd live.
Chosen as the ending theme for the film THE FIRST SLAM DUNK, it won strong support even from listeners who don’t usually listen to rock, and in 2023 the band made their first appearance on the Kōhaku Uta Gassen with this song.
It’s recommended not only for anime fans and 10-FEET fans, but also for anyone chasing their dreams.
READY STEADY GOL’Arc〜en〜Ciel
A song by the four-piece rock band L’Arc~en~Ciel that was used as the opening theme for the anime Fullmetal Alchemist.
Released in 2004 as their first single after a two-and-a-half-year hiatus, it’s a track whose driving pace and pop sensibility are perfect for an anime opening, ramping up anticipation and energy.
It also made waves as the first single by a Japanese artist to be released in South Korea.
In that sense, it became a springboard for the band to pursue vigorous activities not only in Japan but overseas as well.
Prayer XKing Gnu
A song by the four-piece crossover band King Gnu that became a major topic in the music scene in 2019.
Chosen as the ending theme for the anime BANANA FISH, its sense of floating and dark atmosphere perfectly matches the show’s war-themed ending.
Influences from various genres are fused into one through high-level performance, making it a track with a relaxed tempo yet plenty of substance.
Limit-Break x SurvivorHikawa Kiyoshi
It’s the second opening theme of Dragon Ball Super.
Some people might be surprised that it’s sung by enka singer Kiyoshi Hikawa, but in the past he also performed a theme song for Ultraman under the name KIYOSHI.
SPECIALZKing Gnu
It might be considered one of King Gnu’s hidden gems.
“SPECIALZ” was chosen as the opening theme for Season 2 of the anime Jujutsu Kaisen, specifically the Shibuya Incident arc.
Over a performance that carries a slightly eerie atmosphere, the sharp, striking vocals of Iguchi and Tsuneta resound.
The lyrics weave a message about never giving up, expressed through a unique choice of words, making it an uplifting song full of originality unlike anything in other artists’ repertoires.
Pay attention as well to the phrases that seem to link with the anime’s story—take a look at the lyrics and give it a listen.
Released on September 1, 2023, the track is included on their seventh CD single.
It’s highly recommended to listen while watching the anime!
Until the World Ends…WANDS
A song that became a massive hit as the theme for the popular anime SLAM DUNK.
It’s the perfect track for a show that thrills viewers and even serves as a life bible for many fans.
Paired with this classic basketball manga, it’s a staple anime song etched in the memories of countless people.
Dunbine, Fly!MIO
Aura Battler Dunbine is a mecha anime set in the otherworld of Byston Well (though the setting shifts to the surface world partway through), where insect-like machines called “Aura Battlers” take center stage.
Dunbine Flies is its theme song, and it’s cool right from the intro.
