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.

Just a Freezing Elegy ~ The Theme of FREEZERHis Excellency Demon

Just a Freezing Elegy (Elegy) - The Theme of Frieza - MAD

The Freezing Elegy ~ The Theme of FREEZER, His Excellency the Demon

A track where a massive orchestra and a steel-like high-tone voice fuse magnificently.

Originally included on the 2009 album “Dragon Ball Kai SONG COLLECTION,” it was used as an insert song during Frieza’s introduction scene in the anime Dragon Ball Kai.

Throughout the piece, it evokes the absolute terror brought by the Emperor of the Universe, as well as the unfathomable loneliness of one who stands at the top.

The lyrics paint a breathtaking world where all love and life are frozen, and only a cold elegy resounds.

Its solemn yet dark resonance perfectly captures the character’s ruthless, tyrannical charisma.

We have arrived!! The Ginyu Force!!Yamazaki Yo

Here we come!! The Ginyu Force!! With Lyrics [MAD]

Behold!! The Ginyu Force!! Yo Yamazaki

It’s a uniquely catchy track from the anime Dragon Ball Kai that makes you want to strike a pose along with it.

It’s included on the album Dragon Ball Kai Song Collection.

The lyrics are striking, with self-proclaimed elite warriors—“the greatest in the universe”—announcing themselves one after another.

Their charm—brimming with confidence yet somehow comical—is brilliantly expressed over a rock sound.

Listen to it before taking on a challenge, and you might find yourself feeling as confident as they are.

It’s a motivational anthem that gives you a push when you need to take that one last step.
