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

KusushikiMrs. GREEN APPLE

Mrs. GREEN APPLE “Kusushiki” Official Music Video

This is the opening theme for the second cour of Season 2 of the Nippon TV anime “The Apothecary Diaries,” which skillfully expresses the mystery and wonder of kotodama—the spiritual power of words.

Created by Mrs.

GREEN APPLE in April 2025, the piece brilliantly fuses an oriental atmosphere with band-driven sound.

Interweaving contrasting elements like the moon and the sun, love and apology, it powerfully sings of an eternal love that lasts into the next life.

Like a medicine that can both heal and harm, this grand work delves deeply into the duality of emotions and the power inherent in words.

For karaoke, we recommend singing with heartfelt emotion, keeping in mind vocalist Motoki Omori’s richly expressive delivery.

Promise of SunflowersMotohiro Hata

Motohiro Hata – “Himawari no Yakusoku” Music Video

The song by Motohiro Hata, written specifically as the theme for a Doraemon film, explores friendship and love, portraying the beauty of bonds that transcend time.

It is a heartwarming classic that gently accepts parting from a loved one while conveying the importance of continuing to hope for a reunion, expressed through warm vocals and melody.

Released as the theme for the 3DCG animated film “STAND BY ME Doraemon,” which premiered in August 2014, the track reached No.

10 on the Oricon charts and is also included on the album “Ao no Koukei” (Blue Scenery).

The moving story and Hata’s clear, transparent voice harmonize beautifully, making it a work beloved across generations.

It’s the perfect song for those who cherish memories with loved ones or want to sing a heartfelt piece at karaoke.

A perfect day for applesROCKY CHACK

Spice and Wolf ED (HD) [Eng Sub]

It’s the ending song of Spice and Wolf.

This one also has entirely English lyrics, but since it’s a slow-tempo song, you’ll probably be able to sing it fairly quickly if you practice by tracing the katakana shown above the English lyrics.

Depending on the karaoke machine, the katakana may not be displayed, so memorize the pronunciation well and then try again at the karaoke place.

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.

only my railgunfripSide

only my railgun

It’s the opening theme song for season 1 of A Certain Scientific Railgun.

Since fripSide’s vocals are quite high, it might be a bit hard for men to sing, but it’s a very well-known song, so if high notes are your strong point, it’s sure to get the crowd going.

If you can include a PV, LEVEL5 -judgelight- is also recommended—Espera Ito appears in it, so you might find yourself laughing while singing.

far awayASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION

ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION 'Haruka Kanata'

This is one of the early opening themes from the anime Naruto.

The cool melody played by Asian Kung-Fu Generation leaves a strong impression.

It’s a stylish band-sound track, so it’s an anime song you’ll want to belt out with confidence.

Be sure to practice it at karaoke.

RomancePENICILLIN

Amazing!! Masaru-san PENICILLIN Romance

This is the opening theme for Sexy Commando Gaiden: Sugoi yo!! Masaru-san.

Despite the anime itself being goofy, the opening is a very cool song, and whether the karaoke place plays PENICILLIN’s music video or footage from the Masaru-san anime will make your karaoke friends react completely differently.
