Recommended male vocalists for anime songs (21–30)
lampSakiyama Soshi
Starting with the gentle tones of an acoustic guitar and expanding into a majestic sound, Soushi Sakiyama’s song was released in July 2023 as the ending theme for the second season of the TV anime Jujutsu Kaisen.
The piece weaves together the protagonist’s inner conflict, regrets, and longing for lost ideals with a tranquil melody, delicately portraying emotions swaying between ideal and reality.
In August 2023, it was also included on the album “i Fureru SAD UFO,” capturing the hearts of many listeners.
The intertwining of tenderness and poignancy in the vocals, along with the beautiful melodic lines, has the power to evoke deep emotion and empathy, making it a recommended choice to sing in a calm karaoke setting.
Run, SAKAMOTOVaundy
This is an anime tie-in song that stirs the heart with an exhilarating melody and powerful beat.
Packed with Vaundy’s love for anime, the track powerfully conveys the protagonist’s determination and courage to keep moving forward.
Its richly layered sound—recorded in London—vividly depicts the struggles the protagonist faces while trying to live a normal life despite a past as an assassin, along with the strength to press on regardless.
Released in January 2025 as the opening theme for the TV anime SAKAMOTO DAYS, the song’s dynamic energy pairs perfectly with the action-packed series, making you feel as if you’re sprinting alongside the hero.
It’s the perfect track for moments when you want to take a new step or need the courage to face challenges.

Sorrowful WarriorInoue Daisuke
Daisuke Inoue, a musician who also thrived as the lead vocalist of Jackie Yoshikawa and The Blue Comets, sadly passed away in 2000.
“Ai Senshi,” chosen as the theme song for the animated film Mobile Suit Gundam II: Soldiers of Sorrow, is memorable for its opening, which begins with a soulful vocal over a sprightly piano.
For those familiar with the film, just hearing it is enough to make your heart swell.
While its melody is challenging to sing at karaoke, it’s an undeniable upper tune that’s sure to hype up the crowd if you can pull it off.
Burning HeroOkita Hiroyuki
A towering landmark of anime songs that sings of dreams and passion over samba rhythms and a catchy melody! This masterpiece briskly and humorously portrays the presence, skill, and influence of an ace player.
Hiroyuki Okita’s refreshing vocals brilliantly capture the allure of soccer and the throbbing energy of youth.
Released in 1983 as the opening theme for the TV Tokyo anime Captain Tsubasa, it became a classic that helped spark the soccer boom.
In 2018, it was remade by Ryuhei Maruyama of Kanjani Eight.
It’s a song that powerfully pushes the backs of everyone striving toward their dreams—not just soccer fans—and one we highly recommend you listen to.
HOWLINGabingdon boys school
In fact, this band was planned by T.M.Revolution’s Takanori Nishikawa, who is also the lead vocalist.
All the members are active professional musicians, and their performance skills are outstanding.
Since the band was formed to play anime and game music, it has a hard rock feel, unlike T.M.Revolution.
I’ve always felt that Nishikawa’s voice naturally suits anime songs—what do you all think?
SpeechlessUchida Yūma
Speaking of Yuma Uchida, he’s a voice actor who’s really hot right now.
He tends to play supporting roles rather than leads, but that uniquely smoky voice of his often elevates the work and brings out the best in the roles he takes on.
For me, when I think of Yuma Uchida, it’s the tear-jerking scenes in Iron-Blooded Orphans that come to mind—but what scenes do you associate with his voice?
Mazinger ZMizuki Ichirō
A giant in the voice acting world, affectionately called “Aniki” by young voice actors and anime fans.
I’m in my 50s, but he was already active before I was born—a true heavyweight of the industry.
Even if you don’t know Mazinger Z, you probably recognize “Pilder On!” or the elongated “Zeeeeeeeeet!!!!,” or that oddly wide, red scarf.
Mizuki’s singing voice—carrying anime songs through the Showa, Heisei, and Reiwa eras—is a must-hear.
