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.

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.

Go! Zambot 3

Go! Zambot 3Hori Ko Ichiro, Za Buressun Fo, Za Chāpusu

A song created by the same team behind the famous Mobile Suit Gundam theme.

With its upbeat rhythm and a roaring shout right at the start, it’s guaranteed to get you pumped.

Unlike today’s anime songs, those from the ’70s and ’80s have a slightly retro feel—but that’s part of their charm.

Whether you know it or not, be sure to give it a listen at least once.

DAYSFLOW

FLOW “DAYS” Music Video (TV Anime Eureka Seven Opening Theme)

DAYSFLOW

Eureka Seven is a sci-fi anime where robots zip around the sky as if they’re surfing.

Its opening theme was “DAYS” by the rock band FLOW, released in 2005 as their 11th single.

The sound is striking for its depth and spaciousness, making you feel as if you’re flying through the sky as you listen.

And the lyric “I won’t forget the dream we saw side by side” echoes with a poignant touch.

It’s so captivating it makes you want to sing it yourself!

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.
