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.

Kinnikuman Go Fight!Kushida Akira

The opening theme of the legendary anime Kinnikuman, which enjoyed explosive popularity in the 1980s and sparked a social phenomenon with its merchandise.

Sung by Akira Kushida, a prominent anisong singer, the track is synonymous with the series; for the generation that was hooked on the show back then, just hearing the intro likely brings the visuals rushing back.

Although it served as the opening for the anime’s first season, it remains far more widely known than other songs.

Birth of the King of Braves!Endō Masaaki

When it comes to quintessential hot-blooded anime songs, it has to be “Yuusha-Oh Tanjou!” It’s the opening theme of Sunrise’s robot anime and the final entry in the Brave series, The King of Braves GaoGaiGar, and it’s also known for having an absurd number of “ga”s in the lyrics.

A song by Konomi Suzuki, a female singer from Osaka Prefecture, chosen as the opening theme for the anime “Lord Marksman and Vanadis.” Amid its classical atmosphere and rapidly shifting structure, her clear, translucent vocals make for a pleasant listen.

It conveys a sense of grandeur and sanctity that perfectly suits a fantasy work.

THEATRE BROOK / Sunset of Betrayal
Betrayal at SunsetTHEATRE BROOK

A song by the funk rock band THEATRE BROOK that was used as the opening theme for the anime Durarara!!, which is based on a light novel.

It’s a track that sticks in your ears with its powerfully emotive vocals and a guitar whose presence feels like it’s playing a different melody in the background.

The slightly dark worldview and addictive rhythm are a perfect match for a work themed around the extraordinary.

Run, Makibao!F Map

Midori no Makibao is a flagship work by Tsunomaru, who is known for creating many manga with animal protagonists.

While it may look like a gag manga at first glance, it actually portrays the world of horse racing quite seriously.

This song was the theme song when it was adapted into an anime, and its original tune is Hashire Kotaro.

The second single overall by the three-member co-ed music unit fripSide, which has been active in its third phase since 2022 under the theme of “keeping the flame of digital J-POP alive.” Used as the opening theme for the TV anime A Certain Scientific Railgun, the synth sound, evoking trance, really amps up the energy.

The driving melody riding on a four-on-the-floor backbeat showcases the evolution of anison.

It’s a track whose sound, reminiscent of 1990s digital pop, sets your heart ablaze.
