Anime songs recommended for men in their 40s to sing at karaoke

Nintama RantarōHikaru Genji

Yūki 100% Hikaru Genji

A nationally beloved anime that has been broadcast on NHK for many years.

While the theme song itself hasn’t changed, the artists who sing it have evolved with each generation.

It’s a long-running series passed down to the next generation.

In karaoke, too, it’s an ageless song handed down from parents to children, sung together across generations.

Ashita no JoeIsao Bito

Isao Bito, 'Ashita no Joe'

A very serious boxing anime.

Each of the surrounding characters had a well-defined personality, so even now I can vividly recall them.

With its striking realism in the boxing scenes, it was an anime overwhelmingly popular among boys.

Six God Combination GodmarsKazuho Okeura

God Mars (Six Gods Combination) Ending Theme – Pyramid of Love / Kazuho Hiura

It’s God Mars, which anyone from the generation right in the heart of the combining-robot boom will recognize.

The characters are quite handsome, so I think it wouldn’t feel dated even if it aired today.

Combining mecha are always fascinating to watch, no matter when you see them.

Treasure of FlamesBOBBY

[Lupin the Third: The Castle of Cagliostro] Fire Treasure

This is the song that was used as the theme for the still wildly popular animated film Lupin the Third: The Castle of Cagliostro.

It’s a cool, sophisticated track that’s sure to go over well not only in all-male settings but also with women listeners.

The film also drew attention for being directed by Hayao Miyazaki.

Anpanman's MarchDreaming

Anpanman no March • Dreaming • Theme Song • Anime Song

This is a song that was used as the opening theme for the TV anime Anpanman, which has been airing since 1988.

Many people say their children or grandchildren watched the show, so singing or listening to this song makes them feel warm and gentle.

Heidi, Girl of the Alps OP – Oshiete / Kayoko Iju & Nelly Schwarz

This is the song used as the opening theme for the 1974 anime Heidi, Girl of the Alps.

It’s bright and cheerful, so even if you lower the key for a male vocalist, it’s sure to liven up any karaoke session.

The melody is easy to remember, making it a great choice for karaoke beginners as well.

I'm Doraemon.Nobuyo Ōyama, Korogi ’73

I’m Doraemon Nobuyo Ōyama Koorogi 73 [Doraemon 50th Anniversary]

It’s a signature song representing the popular anime Doraemon.

Since Nobuyo Oyama, who sings it, also voiced Doraemon in the anime, the song brightly captures the world of Doraemon and has a fun vibe.

Singing it at karaoke is sure to lift your spirits.
