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

BLOODY STREAMCoda

BLOODY STREAM

This is the opening theme for JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure: Joseph Joestar’s arc.

If the Jonathan arc’s “JoJo ~Sono Chi no Sadame~” is a song that resonates with the hearts of people in their forties, then this one strikes a chord with anime fans in their thirties—a track that blends a sense of speed and a certain languid mood with a jazzy, powerful energy.

While listening to Linear BlueUNISON SQUARE GARDEN

UNISON SQUARE GARDEN “Listening to Linear Blue” Short Ver.

It’s the theme song for the movie TIGER & BUNNY: The Beginning.

It’s easier to sing than the other two Tiger & Bunny songs, and if you use a machine like DAM that plays the anime footage, the nostalgia will definitely make you want to watch the anime again.

If you want people to recognize it as a Tiger & Bunny song, singing the TV version’s “Tracing Orion” (Orion wo Nazoru) is also a good option.

DAYBREAK’S BELLL’Arc〜en〜Ciel

L’Arc～en～Ciel「DAYBREAK’S BELL」-Music Clip-

With its grand melody and profound message, this song is a gem of rock that leaves a deep impression on listeners.

It masterfully fuses L’Arc~en~Ciel’s distinctive sound with lyrics themed around anti-war sentiment and love for humanity.

The intricate drum and guitar rhythm patterns, along with a youthful arrangement reminiscent of their indie days, are also striking.

Released in October 2007, the track was chosen as the opening theme for Season 1 of the anime Mobile Suit Gundam 00 and topped the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart.

It was also included on the album KISS, capturing the hearts of a wide audience from rock fans to anime enthusiasts.

For those who grew up loving anime and the Gundam series, it is surely a song that resonates even more deeply.

O2ORANGE RANGE

ORANGE RANGE『O2』MV

As the first opening theme for the anime Code Geass: Lelouch of the Rebellion R2, a powerful track was born that weaves mixture rock into a J-pop foundation.

Even among ORANGE RANGE’s works, YAMATO’s striking high-range vocals stand out, and the contrast with RYO’s low vocals gives the piece a sense of breaking new ground.

With a message layered over the chemical formula for oxygen and themes that synchronize with the protagonist’s rebellion and pursuit of freedom, the song reached No.

3 on the Oricon Weekly Chart after its release in May 2008.

It was included on the albums PANIC FANCY and ALL the SINGLES, and has continued to be loved through diverse arrangements, including covers in games such as THE iDOLM@STER and World Dai Star.

In karaoke, its energetic progression and memorable chorus make it a song that greatly lifts the singer’s spirits.

dramaticBase Ball Bear

Base Ball Bear – Dramatic

Just by listening, those passionate feelings from back then well up in your chest—this is a fresh, vibrant number by Base Ball Bear.

Released in May 2007 as their fourth single, the song was beloved by many as the opening theme of the anime “Big Windup!” The way it surges from a quiet beginning into a fast, soaring chorus is the very essence of youth’s brilliance.

Like summer heat haze shimmering in the air, its scenes sway atop exhilarating guitar sounds.

Let those memories of being glued to the TV come back, and hum along!

Crimson Bow and ArrowLinked Horizon

Linked Horizon / Guren no Yumiya with lyrics

This is the opening theme of Attack on Titan, sung by Revo of Linked Horizon, who also performed at the Kōhaku Uta Gassen.

It’s an extremely energetic song, and if you can deliver it all the way through—including the German at the beginning—it really lands.

However, due to licensing issues, the lyrics aren’t displayed in karaoke.

Since many karaoke systems support the TV-size version, it’s best to sing it on DAM using a workaround that scrolls the lyrics as a background image, or to fully memorize just the first verse.

A third of pure-hearted feelingsSIAM SHADE

A third of pure-hearted feelings

Although they disbanded once in 2002, SHIAM SHADE has captivated fans with several temporary reunions.

This signature song of theirs is widely known as the ending theme for the TV anime Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story.

Its structure is very straightforward: the chorus comes first, followed by verse A and verse B, building excitement.

The beginning of verse A hits the song’s lowest note, D#3, which might be a bit low even for male singers.

Be careful not to let your voice get muffled in this part.

Another challenging aspect of the song is the rhythm.

In the chorus, if you sing it in a typical 4/4 feel, it won’t lock in with the backing drums and will sound flat.

Try singing it with a driving triplet feel instead—you’ll sound much cooler! It may be difficult until you get used to it, but definitely give it a try.
