Stellar Days by Motohiro Hata, famed as the theme song for the anime “A Star Brighter Than the Sun,” is a masterpiece.

It leans toward the emotional side, and the verses through the pre-chorus evoke a dreamlike atmosphere.

With so many facets packed into a single track, it’s a piece that grows richer the more you listen.

NICO Touches the Walls - Hologram

While stylishly digesting influences from Western music and firmly shaping them into a J-pop format, NICO Touches the Walls radiated a unique presence.

Although they sadly disbanded in 2019, many people now in their 30s were likely fans.

Their classic “Hologram” is a song you should definitely try singing at karaoke.

As the opening theme for the second season of the hugely popular anime Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood, many people who aren’t deeply familiar with the band have probably heard it.

Its cool, blue-tinged sense of speed, emo-rock-style guitar phrases, and soaring vocals delivering a catchy melody are full of appeal that will grab even first-time listeners.

The chorus does include some slightly higher notes at times, but overall the melody is easy to sing; those with lower voices will find it more approachable by adjusting the key.

Red fractionMELL

MELL / Red fraction – TV Anime 'BLACK LAGOON' Opening Theme – (Official Music Video)

It’s a song from BLACK LAGOON with lyrics entirely in English.

It’s rarely played with the anime visuals, so it’s well-suited for performing as a stylish showcase.

However, like songs by MAN WITH A MISSION, singing this in English and at a fast pace is extremely difficult.

If you want to nail it and look cool, you’ll probably need to practice hundreds of times.

As long as I have youDEEN

DEEN “As Long As I Have You (DEEN The Best DX)” Music Video Short ver.

Released in November 1993 as DEEN’s debut single, this song was also used as the opening theme for the anime “Chuuka Ichiban!” and is beloved by listeners across generations.

The lyrics, which powerfully express deep feelings for a loved one, are memorable, with the phrase “As long as I have you” repeated multiple times.

The words honestly convey how precious the other person’s presence is, surely resonating deeply with listeners.

Combined with DEEN’s warm vocals, it gently embraces the feelings of someone in love.

Sing it at karaoke, and you’ll surely feel like conveying your feelings to someone special.

MagiaKalafina

Kalafina　『Magia』

From the lyrics and musical style, no one would think this is a theme song from a magical girl anime.

It’s the ending theme of the well-known “Puella Magi Madoka Magica.” Although the singer is female, the grand arrangement and darker lyrics mean that if the music video were live-action, you could sing it even to someone unfamiliar with anime without them realizing it’s an anime song—and if they do like anime, they’re guaranteed to get excited with you.

KICK BACKYonezu Kenshi

Kenshi Yonezu – KICKBACK

For men in their teens and twenties, Kenshi Yonezu is a go-to artist.

He has a wide musical range, but if you’re looking for something that really gets the crowd going, KICK BACK is perfect.

Released as the theme song for the popular anime Chainsaw Man, it’s memorable for its impactful chorus and delivers an exceptional hype despite its slightly fast tempo.

Above all, the near-scream vocal line right before the final chorus—paired with the music video’s scene of being run over by a truck—has made it especially popular.

Even if the moon cannot be seen tonightPorunogurafiti

Porno Graffitti “Even If the Moon Can’t Be Seen Tonight” MUSIC VIDEO (Theme song for the film “BLEACH: Fade to Black, I Call Your Name”)

This song by Porno Graffitti, a rock band from Hiroshima Prefecture, pierces the heart with its exhilarating sound and wistful vocals.

Released in December 2008 as their 27th single, it is also known as the theme song for the film “BLEACH: Fade to Black.” Created with a strong determination to craft “a new signature song” for their 10th anniversary, it was later included on the acclaimed album ∠TRIGGER.

Set on an autumn night when the moon is hidden by thick clouds, the song portrays the earnest feelings of yearning for someone out of reach, wrapped in an urban, cool atmosphere.

The belief in a light that exists even when unseen aligns perfectly with the anime’s worldview.

Blending digital elements with rock, this track is ideal both for nights when you want to sink into sentiment and for belting out at karaoke.
