Editor-in-Chief, RAG MUSICHane Keisuke
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.

Here’s a recommendation for men who love sci-fi worlds: the opening theme “rise” from the anime Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C.

2nd GIG.

It’s sung by the Russian singer-songwriter Origa, with composition by Yoko Kanno.

The cutting-edge sound design and ethereal vocals create an indescribable tension, making it an exceptionally sophisticated piece.

Its depth and tone perfectly match the world of the Ghost in the Shell series.

This is the theme song for Tottemo! Luckyman, which portrays a hero who fights relying solely on good luck.

Thanks to that connection, when it was adapted into an anime, Aki Yashiro also performed the theme song.

Adolescence (with lyrics)

boyhoodTakeda Tetsuya

The theme song of the film Doraemon: Nobita’s Little Star Wars.

The original author, Fujiko F.

Fujio, loved this song so much that he said, “The theme song has to be Tetsuya Takeda.” It evokes a sense of nostalgia and loneliness while reminding us of important things we had forgotten.

It was released in 1985.

Hironobu Kageyama – CHA-LA HEAD-CHA-LA .Live.mp4

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.
