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.

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.

Tetsujin 28-goDuke Aces
You could say that Tetsujin 28-go is the progenitor of Japanese robot anime.
It’s been adapted into anime multiple times, but this is the opening of the very first series.
The theme that a robot can become a force for good or evil depending on how it’s used was carried on by subsequent robot anime.
The RumblingSiM
It’s a loud rock number that overwhelms with a thumping low end, majestic strings, and death growls.
The track is by SiM, the band known for hits like “KiLLiNG ME,” and it was released digitally in 2022.
It was chosen as the opening theme for the anime Attack on Titan.
The dense, weighty sound alone conjures an epic story—absolutely irresistible.
The lyrics, which convey the resolve to “walk the path I’ve chosen,” also fit Attack on Titan perfectly.
Crank up the volume and pay attention to the sense of release in the chorus!
Your AdventureOkazaki Taiiku
This is the theme song for the anime Pokémon Sun & Moon by singer-songwriter Taiiku Okazaki.
It was used as the opening theme starting in October 2018, and Okazaki also performed the ending theme, which drew a lot of attention.
The classic, high-energy pop tune pairs perfectly with his familiar, easy-to-listen-to vocals.
The lyrics affirm that gaining experience—even getting sunburned or dirtying your clothes—becomes part of who you are, and they give you the courage to step into the unknown.
It’s a track brimming with positive energy that powerfully cheers on those who keep chasing their dreams, even if they’re clumsy or awkward.
It’s a hugely popular anime song that will surely give you a push when you’re starting a new challenge or feeling a bit down.
Fly! GundamIkeda Ko
A song by Ko Ikeda, a singer from Nagasaki Prefecture, used as the opening theme for the anime Mobile Suit Gundam.
Among the many robot-themed anime series—with numerous sequels and related works—this anime is known for having the most famous opening theme.
Unlike the conventional image of anime where the hero pilots a robot to defeat evil enemies, Mobile Suit Gundam presents a weighty narrative centered on war.
Because of that, when you listen to it with this context in mind, its bright, upbeat melody can leave you with a curious, almost dissonant feeling.
kaiju (giant monster)Sakanakushon
This is Sakanaction’s first anime tie-in song, depicting the passion and struggles of those who pursue truth.
Released in February 2025, it was chosen as the opening theme for NHK General’s “Chi: On the Movements of the Earth.” Deeply connected to the anime’s worldview, which focuses on people attempting to prove the heliocentric theory, the lyrics convey a strong will to keep seeking the truth even in darkness.
Sakanaction’s unique sound—a fusion of electronica and rock—evokes curiosity and a forward-looking mindset.
It’s a must-listen for anyone who wants to experience that sensation of having your own common sense overturned when you encounter new knowledge.
3 minutes 29 secondsHitorie
This is the opening theme chosen for the anime “86 -Eighty Six-,” which portrays the stories of young people who throw themselves into war.
It’s a track by the rock band Hitorie, released digitally in 2021.
True to their style, the high-speed development of the song is stylish and cool.
However, considering the anime’s storyline, the message embedded in the lyrics pierces the heart.
Give it a listen when you want to stoke your fighting spirit or renew your resolve!
