Hot Trending Anisong Special: A Lineup of God-Tier Tracks That Shine at Karaoke (11–20)
Picaresque heroano
Ano, who draws attention through her wide-ranging activities on TV and radio, sings this track brimming with chaotic allure, where a theme depicting a shadowy hero who moves forward while harboring contradictions and impulses beyond simple justice clashes with a fierce beat.
The gap between the high-speed band sound and her cute vocals is irresistible.
Released as a single in January 2026, the song was chosen as the opening theme for the TV anime TRIGUN STARGAZE.
It also made waves for having DAIDAI from Paledusk handle the composition and arrangement.
With its catchy melody and strong attack, it’s perfect for belting out at karaoke to get everyone hyped.
Highly recommended for instantly igniting the room with an overwhelming sense of exhilaration.
LionNEW!May’n / Nakajima Ai
The second opening theme of Macross Frontier, a 2008 duet by May’n and Megumi Nakajima.
It’s an upbeat electropop track produced by Yoko Kanno, featuring the two divas’ high-tone harmonies.
I’ve performed it live with a student before; the range is on the higher side, but it’s more than enough to get the crowd going.
Since the vocals alternate, you can sing it solo, and if you’ve got the bandwidth, singing it as a duo with added harmonies makes it even more fun.
It’s a song that can hype the audience from the intro, so definitely consider adding it to your setlist.
Limit-Break x SurvivorNEW!Hikawa Kiyoshi
This is the 32nd single, released on October 25, 2017.
It’s the opening theme for the anime Dragon Ball Super, and instead of enka, it’s a fiery band-rock anisong.
I was surprised at the time too, but it’s a fast-paced track that goes beyond the bounds of enka, and I remember Hii-sama with bold, striking makeup looking incredibly cool.
It’s very popular among Dragon Ball fans, and the lyrics are cleverly written, so if you put it in at karaoke, it’s sure to get the crowd going.
By the way, I once saw a band cover it live, and they were truly awesome—watching them got me super hyped! The chorus has a feeling of sprinting straight through, so I think it’s best to sing it without stopping.
Feel My PainNEW!HEY-SMITH
A frenzied punk number that’s perfect for hard-hitting fight scenes.
Released in August 2024, it was chosen as the opening theme for the anime Kengan Ashura Season 2, and was later included on the album Rest In Punk -World Edition-.
Built on ska-punk, its energetic sound is marked by brilliantly resounding brass.
The lyrics draw you in with a worldview that portrays pressing forward with strength despite pain and loneliness.
Highly recommended for anyone seeking the courage to face adversity.
ResolutionNEW!MADKID
An anison that fires you up, fusing an intense band sound with rap and melodious vocals.
Released as a single in August 2025, it was chosen as the opening theme for the anime The Rising of the Shield Hero Season 4.
Centered on themes of indomitable fighting spirit and resolve that echo the story, it packs in MADKID’s signature dance-rock sound.
Highly recommended for anyone who wants to rouse their spirits.
CRY OUT CRY OVERNEW!Who-ya Extended
Isekai reincarnation and time leap are portrayed in the Japan-inspired battle action anime Onmyo Kaiten Re:Birth.
This is the track chosen as its opening theme.
Crafted by Who-ya Extended, the song captivates with a high-velocity sound that fuses electronic rock and loud rock.
Through vocalist Who-ya’s urgent delivery, you can feel the protagonist’s burning resolve to rise again no matter how many times they fall.
Recommended for anyone who wants a surge of energy to face hardships!
