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.
FIRE GROUNDOfisharu Higedan Dism
FIRE GROUND is a soul-stirring rock number powered by a pulsating groove and roaring, hard-edged guitars.
Official HIGE DANDism included it on their 2018 release Stand By You EP, and it was chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime Hinomaru Sumo.
Fusing funk and rock, the track ignites a fighting spirit reminiscent of sumo wrestlers clashing fiercely in the ring.
Its large-scale music video, filmed in Los Angeles, also caused quite a stir at the time.
It’s the perfect song to play right before a make-or-break moment or whenever you need to fire yourself up.
Wanna beTeddyLoid feat. Shigeru Matsuzaki & TOPHAMHAT-KYO
A high-energy dance tune that shocks with its unexpected collaboration! Produced by TeddyLoid and released in October 2025, “Wanna be” serves as the opening theme for the anime ‘Tōjima Tanzaburō Wants to Be Kamen Rider.’ From the intro, its full-throttle electro beat intertwines with the overwhelming vocals of Shigeru Matsuzaki—legend of the Showa-era pop scene—and the tricky rap of TOPHAMHAT-KYO.
Chaotic yet insanely cool! The lyrics deliver a fiery message about chasing an ideal hero, pushing forward through inner conflict, which really hits home.
A must-listen track when you need to fire yourself up!
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.
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.
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.
Naked HeroVaundy
The more you listen, the more it moves your emotions! It’s a song by the popular singer-songwriter Vaundy, known for releases like “Flower Fortune-Telling” and “Odoriko,” unveiled in 2022.
It was used as the opening theme for the anime Ranking of Kings.
The arrangement blends a sense of speed with an emotional atmosphere that really pierces the heart.
And the lyric “I ended up loving everything” carries a simple yet profound message.
If you know the story of Ranking of Kings, it hits even harder.
With Bojji, the protagonist, at the forefront, let your thoughts dwell on the lives of the characters—by all means, give it a listen.
