I started playing guitar in middle school and focused on band activities during my student years. I’ve been a hobbyist Vocaloid producer for over 15 years. After entering the workforce, I gained experience in various roles, including event sound engineering and videography/photography. As a writer, I’ve contributed introduction articles for music and manga websites, and in 2022 I had the opportunity to write the bonus liner notes for IA SUPER BEST. My specialties are Japanese rock, Vocaloid, and manga.

Anime is a culture that has continued to expand with the times.

Back in the day, labels like “hero stories,” “magical girl,” or “mecha” were enough to explain what kind of show it was, but now words alone just aren’t enough.

That’s how big a scene it has become.

In this article, we’re doing a special feature on anime songs recommended for men.

From nostalgic, heart-pounding tracks to relatively recent releases,

it’s a lineup packed with masterpieces.

It may undermine the premise a bit to say this, but although we’re calling them “recommended for men,” there are surely songs here that will resonate with women too.

Please take your time and enjoy it to the end.

The theme song has a wonderful, medium-tempo, feel-good melody line.

FLYING IN THE SKY

Hitofumi Ujima - Trust You Forever

The Mobile Suit Gundam franchise boasts numerous popular titles, but this one is especially fiery! It’s the opening theme of Mobile Fighter G Gundam, which drew attention for its depiction of battles between mobile suits and unarmed humans.

It was the debut single of singer-songwriter Hitofumi Ushima from Kochi Prefecture, released in 1994.

Many people probably remember it as the work that changed the image of the Gundam series, which until then had been known in part for its “realistic war” tone.

This is the song used as the opening theme for the anime Yu Yu Hakusho, based on a Jump manga.

It’s a signature work by Masako Mawatari, a singer from Miyazaki Prefecture, released as a single in 1992.
