Mega Man Theme ~Piercing Through the Wind~Hitoshi Hashimoto
Many people in their 30s probably admired the cyber-themed world! This is the opening theme of the anime MegaMan NT Warrior (Rockman EXE).
It’s sung by vocalist Jin Hashimoto from Hyogo Prefecture and was included on the 2007 album “Rockman EXE Series Vocal Album.” The near-futuristic sound arrangement perfectly matches his passionate vocals, making it an energizing listen.
It’s the kind of song that brings back memories of when it first aired and warms your heart.

DEEN’s “Kimi Sae Ireba” is a song that celebrates reassuring, steadfast love.
Released in 1995, it also became well loved as the opening theme for the anime “Chuuka Ichiban!” Its empowering lyrics feel as if they strengthen a heart in love.
The song’s positive energy is likely to bring back memories of youthful days, even for those in their 30s.

It’s a track that evokes a strong bond—one that makes you feel you can overcome challenges together.
I’m an eternal child.Mew
Isn’t Crayon Shin-chan the anime that everyone has seen or at least heard of once? Plenty of people have probably had fun imitating Shin-chan’s voice! “I’m an Eternal Kid” was used as the theme song for the movie Crayon Shin-chan: Action Kamen vs.
Leotard Devil.
It’s a catchy track with playful lyrics sprinkled with words kids will love.
For those in their 30s, it may bring back nostalgic memories of going to see the film with your family when you were a child.
Now that we’re adults, it reminds us of that wish to stay a kid forever, so go ahead—hum along or enjoy singing it at karaoke!

The insert song from Macross F sung by Megumi Nakajima is a passionate piece that portrays a grand tale of love and adventure set in space.
It symbolically expresses a soul yearning for freedom and the young people who challenge the boundless universe.
You can feel a longing for a future filled with love and hope.
Released in 2008, the song has been widely embraced for its profound, resonant message.
Against the backdrop of space’s limitless possibilities, it beautifully sings of humanity’s smallness, beauty, and strength—truly a masterpiece.

HIT IN THE USABEAT CRUSADERS
For people in their 30s, BEAT CRUSADERS probably looms large.
Their masked performances felt so fresh at the time, didn’t they? Set to the band’s catchy sound and lyrics, HIT IN THE USA is a track that powerfully conveys the drive to chase your dreams.
Since its release in October 2004, it drew major attention through its tie-in with the anime BECK.
The pop yet aggressive band sound has a blazing momentum that gets you excited just by listening.
It’s a cheer song we want to send to everyone striving toward their dreams.
Even after the band disbanded, the members have continued to be active, but this is a classic that lets you feel the fiery passion of their younger days!

It’s been a while since its release, but it still feels brand-new! This track was used as the opening theme for the anime GANTZ.
Created by the hip-hop unit RIP SLYME, it was included as a B-side on their ninth single, “GALAXY,” released in 2004.
It’s a lively number where sharp flows and lyrics shine over an advanced, fast-paced track.
The energetic sound design is guaranteed to get you pumped!
In conclusion
Even if we lump “people in their 30s” together, there’s nearly a 10-year gap between 39 and 30.
So I’ve tried to gather songs from a wide range of years.
I’m sure there were works you watched, too.
