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.

Let’s Get Fired Up! Recommended Anime Songs for Men [Classics & New Releases] (21–30)
OtonokeCreepy Nuts
Centered on Gen Z, the TV anime Dandadan became a social phenomenon, and its opening theme can be described as a new frontier in hip-hop woven by R-Shitei and DJ Matsunaga.
Its title is a coined word meaning “sound apparition,” expressing how music itself slips into people’s hearts like something supernatural.
The lyrics are sprinkled with references to horror icons like Sadako and Kayako, as well as phrases that evoke other Jump works, sublimating the daring theme of fusing the occult with hip-hop.
The breakneck beat, relentless flow, and intricately calculated rhymes have the power to pull listeners straight into the story’s world.
Released in October 2024, the track topped the Billboard Japan Hot 100 and earned high praise both at home and abroad.
It’s an anime song recommended for those who want to immerse themselves in the anime’s worldview or experience a new form of hip-hop.
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.

only my railgunfripSide
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.
CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LAKageyama Hironobu
It’s the theme song of Dragon Ball Z and one of Hironobu Kageyama’s signature works.
In the original manga, ‘Z’ covers the story from the Saiyan Saga onward, where the style shifted decisively toward full-on battle action.
Many films were also produced, and it may have been the period when the Dragon Ball series was at its peak.
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.
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.
