The theme song of Touch, which aired on the Fuji TV network from March 1985 to March 1987.

The original work is a manga by Mitsuru Adachi that ran in Weekly Shonen Sunday for five years starting in 1981.

The anime’s theme song, sung by Yoshimi Iwasaki, became a hit.

It’s still sung across generations and by people of all genders, but you can bet it especially fires up the middle-aged men who spent their youth at the end of the Showa era.

This is a collaboration song by Takanori Nishikawa and Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas, affectionately known as “Vegas.” The track was used as the theme song for the anime Gakuen BASARA, with lyrics, composition, and arrangement handled by Vegas.

The sound is striking for its hallmark Vegas heft and speed, evoking power and exhilaration that well up from deep within.

If you spent your youth in the 2000s, this is likely one of the first songs that comes to mind when you think of Heisei-era anime themes.

Released in 2004 by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION—aka “Ajikan”—this hit track is widely recognized as one of the band’s signature songs, having been used as the opening theme for the hugely popular anime Fullmetal Alchemist.

Many people first discovered the band through this song, and as mentioned, it stands as an iconic anime anthem born of the 2000s that’s still frequently sung at karaoke even now in the 2020s.

Until the World Ends…WANDS

In December 2022, a new film in the legendary basketball manga series SLAM DUNK was released.

The series is also famous for the opening and ending themes used in its 1990s TV anime adaptation, all of which are beloved by many as classic J-pop and anime songs.

These tracks are guaranteed hits not only for those who watched in real time, but also among younger generations, making them perfect choices for performances and sing-alongs.

This time, let’s spotlight “Till the World Ends…” (Sekai ga Owaru Made wa…), arguably the most famous song associated with SLAM DUNK.

Released in 1994 by WANDS—a band currently active in the 2020s with their powerful vocalist Daishi Uehara as part of the fifth lineup—the single was a massive hit and served as the ending theme for the anime’s second season.

With lyrics by the original vocalist Sho Uesugi, composition by Tetsuro Oda, and arrangement by Takeshi Hayama, this golden team produced a masterpiece.

Uesugi’s soul-stirring, passionate vocals continue to fire up listeners in any era.

The chorus practically demands a sing-along, so be sure to have everyone join in!

Please, MuscleSakura Hibiki (CV: Fairuzu Ai) & Machio Naruzou (CV: Ishikawa Kaito)

The overwhelming impact of “Onegai Muscle,” released as the theme song when the popular muscle-training-themed manga How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift? was adapted into a TV anime in 2019, became a huge talking point.

It’s a quintessential Reiwa-era anime song, with popular voice actress Ai Fairouz—who made her debut and landed her first leading role with this work—taking the lead melody, and Kaito Ishikawa delivering perfectly timed call-and-response lines that elevate their chemistry.

The interplay between the protagonist working hard at training and the trainer cheering her on with actual bodybuilding-style chants is genuinely entertaining, and many people likely became interested in fitness after discovering this song and series.

Musically, it’s danceable and incredibly catchy; its unforgettable impact after just one listen and its high addictiveness have been widely praised, earning it numerous awards.

Although the main melody is sung by a woman, it absolutely works with two men as well—so take on the “female” parts as if you’re tackling a tough workout, and really make it your own!

In conclusion

Listening back through anime songs from the Showa era to Reiwa—the ones guaranteed to get everyone hyped—many of you, especially younger listeners, may have felt that even the older tracks sounded somehow familiar.

Anime songs that continue to be loved across generations can, when used well, absolutely set the stage for a great time—whether as entertainment or at karaoke.
