[Anime Songs] Anime tracks recommended for men in their 30s to sing at karaoke

IRIS OUTYonezu Kenshi

Kenshi Yonezu – IRIS OUT

Kenshi Yonezu’s masterpiece “IRIS OUT.” Known as a theme song for the anime Chainsaw Man, this track has been crafted with a rather unusual tone to match the show’s atmosphere.

While it carries an overall rock flavor, you can glimpse gothic elements here and there—likely to align with the series’ world, where devils appear.

It has a somewhat matter-of-fact delivery yet interweaves shouts, making it thoroughly engaging to listen to.

Be sure to check it out.

Driver’s HighL’Arc〜en〜Ciel

L’Arc～en～Ciel「Driver’s High」-Music Clip-

Among L’Arc~en~Ciel’s many songs, “Driver’s High” is one of the most popular.

It also served as the theme song for the anime GTO, which helped it gain worldwide acclaim.

The song’s vocal range is quite wide, from mid1 E to high B.

While high B is often sung in falsetto, in this song it’s delivered with a mixed voice, and it appears frequently—six times in total.

It’s a perfect piece for practicing mixed voice, which requires strong projection, so definitely give it a try.

What If StoryTani Yuuki

What If Story

Tani Yuuki’s song “Moshimo Monogatari,” known as the ending theme for the long-beloved classic anime Doraemon, has the gentle warmth you’d expect from a Doraemon track.

Its range is mid1 F# to hi C#, which isn’t particularly wide, but the overall tessitura is high, so you’ll need mixed voice to sing it in the original key.

That said, it’s not an especially difficult song, making it highly recommended as practice material for developing your mixed voice.

The Story You Don’t Knowsupercell

The Story You Don’t Know – supercell

This is “The Story You Don’t Know,” the ending theme from Bakemonogatari, a karaoke staple sung by a wide range of people from their teens to their forties.

In terms of key, it’s tough for men to sing, but its high recognition and the fact that many people can sing it make it a surefire crowd-pleaser, even just by adding it to the waiting list.

Protect the Lightsupittsu

Spitz / Protect the Light

It has been selected as the opening theme song for the anime SPY×FAMILY Season 3.

Spitz doesn’t usually have the image of doing anime themes, and it seems this is their first anime.

The gentle tone and melody line slip right into your heart.

Since vocalist Kusano’s voice has a transparent mixed voice quality, you might feel the song is high when you listen, but the actual range is D#3 to A#4, so it’s not excessively high.

However, it can be challenging if you try to force the sound out.

It’s easier if you aim for a light, head-resonant approach.

The ending sits around G#4… I recommend singing it with a humming-like feel without pushing yourself.

Shooting StarKOTOKO

shooting star- KOTOKO

KOTOKO’s “Shooting Star” is tough for a man to sing as-is, so you’ll need to lower the key at karaoke.

It’s the theme song from the first entry in the Onegai series, “Please Teacher!” If your karaoke buddy is a hardcore anime fan in their 30s, they’ll definitely be moved to tears by the nostalgia.

Dan Dan Kokoro HikaretekuFIELD OF VIEW

FIELD OF VIEW – Dan Dan Kokoro Hikareteku (QHD Remastered Video)

It’s a classic distinguished by its heart-piercing melody and poetic lyrics.

It delicately portrays the process of falling in love, resonating deeply with listeners.

Released in March 1996 as FIELD OF VIEW’s fourth single, it was also chosen as the opening theme for a popular anime.

The unique lyrical world of Izumi Sakai and the emotionally rich vocals of Yuya Asaoka blend beautifully.

For many, it overlaps with memories of their youth.

It’s the perfect song for hyping up a karaoke session or for feeling the bond with someone special.
