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.

Katsushika RhapsodyDōjima Kōhei
It’s the third opening theme from the anime adaptation of the long-running manga “Kochira Katsushika-ku Kameari Kōen-mae Hashutsujo,” which concluded in 2016.
The song was also used in the 2016 special “THE FINAL: The Last Day of Kankichi Ryotsu,” and can be considered one of the signature tracks of ‘Kochikame.’
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.
Invisible SensationUNISON SQUARE GARDEN
This razor-sharp rock tune is one I’d love for you to try when you want to boost your energy! It’s a track by the popular band UNISON SQUARE GARDEN, known for numerous anime songs, released in 2017 as their 12th single.
It was used as the opening theme for the anime Welcome to the Ballroom, which centers on competitive dance.
The bouncy rhythm pairs perfectly with the bright vocals, making it a wonderfully refreshing number.
It’s got a charm that makes your body start swaying on its own.
Fate of FlameTETSU
It could be said that Armored Trooper Votoms takes the real robot anime trait of portraying robots as weapons to its absolute extreme.
The protagonist, Chirico, has no dedicated machine; he repeatedly abandons whatever unit he acquires at the time.
The theme song reflects Chirico’s way of life.
Indelible (unforgettable)Ishizaki Hyuui
The opening theme for the third season of the anime Dr.
STONE NEW WORLD is “WASUREGATAKI.” It’s an original song written by Huwie Ishizaki.
The title, written in kanji as 「忘れ難き」, means “unforgettable,” and the lyrics portray irreplaceable things that cannot be forgotten, as well as sorrow.
The phrase “wasuregataka(ki),” which you don’t often hear on its own, appears repeatedly, making it stick in your ear.
The sound is a pop style typical of anime openings, heightening anticipation for the series.
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.
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!
