TV anime “How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?” OP theme Muscle Video

This “Onegai Muscle” is the theme song for the unprecedented muscle anime How Heavy Are the Dumbbells You Lift?.

It’s sung by Ai Fairouz and Kaito Ishikawa, who voice characters in the show.

Since it’s a duet that men and women can sing together, it’s easy to try even if you’re not confident in your singing! Also, rather than focusing on singing well, it has a strong novelty/comedic vibe, so it’s sure to get the crowd going at karaoke with fellow anime fans! There are lots of spoken lines and call-and-response parts, so even if you’re not good at singing, don’t be shy—just go for it.

Chu, diversity.ano24rank/position

ano “Chu, Diversity.” Music Video

A wildly in-demand presence on television, Ano-chan.

She also performs as a singer under the name ano, consistently turning out hit songs thanks to her highly original musical style and distinctive voice.

Her signature track “Chu, Diversity.” was used as the ending theme for episode 7 of the anime Chainsaw Man.

The song has a great groove with a melody that even hints at Chinese pop.

While it features relatively few high notes or dramatic breaks overall, its vocal range is quite narrow—mid2 A# to hi C#—making it exceptionally easy to sing.

Welcome to Japari Parkdōbutsu bisuketsu × PPP25rank/position

TV anime 'Kemono Friends' theme song: 'Welcome to Japari Park' / Doubutsu Biscuits × PPP

This is the opening theme song of the TV anime “Kemono Friends,” which sparked a tremendous boom in 2017.

Masayoshi Oishi, who has worked on many anime and game songs, wrote, composed, and arranged the track, crafting a masterpiece that represents late-2010s anisong and will likely continue to be talked about for years to come.

As evidenced by the high praise from top-tier musicians like Gen Hoshino and Ken Hirai, it transcends the boundaries of anime music and can be described as a quintessential J-pop song, brimming with the genre’s strengths.

If you listen without preconceptions, you might notice that fundamental appeal.

frecklesJUDY AND MARY26rank/position

Freckles – JUDY AND MARY (Full)

This is the opening theme of Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story, which aired in 1996.

For many people, this is the song that comes to mind when they think of Rurouni Kenshin.

With a powerful female vocal, it’s a cool track when sung in the style of YUKI.

Crimson Oath - Yoshiki Fukuyama

It’s the theme song of the anime “Buso Renkin.” Many people have covered it on Niconico, and its fiery tempo makes it a go-to track for getting the crowd hyped at karaoke.

However, Yoshiki Fukuyama’s vocal key is quite high, so it’s pretty tough for the average male singer.

In terms of key, “King Gainer Over!” is probably easier to sing.

Frenzy Hey Kids!!THE ORAL CIGARETTES28rank/position

Noragami ARAGOTO OP theme THE ORAL CIGARETTES “Kyouran Hey Kids!!” Music Video

This work has gained popularity for its overwhelming rock sound and lyrics that skillfully blend English and Japanese.

THE ORAL CIGARETTES’ powerful performance and Takuya Yamanaka’s soaring vocals leave a strong impression, and this track, released in November 2015, was also chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime Noragami ARAGOTO.

The song sparked a huge reaction, surpassing 100 million views on YouTube, and is included on the album FIXION.

With its intense, powerfully thrilling development, the track is perfect for blowing off steam at karaoke.

You can belt it out and savor the liberating feeling that makes you want to shout from the bottom of your heart.

It’s an energetic song in which the band’s expressive power and the anime’s worldview fuse beautifully.
