Off Course - An Old Man’s Soliloquy

Off Course’s “An Old Man’s Soliloquy” gently portrays the feelings of an elderly person facing aging.

The lyrics, which stay close to a protagonist who thinks of the vast sky, the sea, and their hometown, are deeply moving.

Looking back on life, the singer says they don’t wish to return to their youth, yet also admits the regret of not expressing their love to someone dear.

Featured on the 1975 album “Wine no Nioi” (“The Scent of Wine”), this song conveys respect for the rich life perspective of older adults and a strong sense of independence.

It’s a piece that can quietly accompany those who are contemplating the end of life.

Ai Higuchi’s “Boku to Obaasan” (“Me and Grandma”) is a refreshing, heartwarming song that portrays the bond between a grandchild and their grandmother.

The lyrics weave in gentle everyday scenes, like Grandma’s old sweater and her knitting.

Told from the grandchild’s perspective, its sincere feelings resonate deeply with listeners.

Included on the album “160 Degrees,” released in November 2016, the song conveys respect and gratitude toward the elderly.

It’s perfect for moments when you want to reflect on memories with someone dear or simply take a comforting pause in your daily life.

This is one of Itsuro Oizumi’s signature songs, following his major-label debut single “Mago” (Grandchild) that made him famous.

Grandma’s passwordAnsako

Grandma's password

Some grandparents are adept at using electronic devices like smartphones, yet occasionally forget their passwords.

With that in mind, let me introduce “Grandma’s Password.” This song by singer-songwriter Ansaco was created as the ending theme for the anime Washimo.

Staying true to the anime’s world, it portrays Grandma’s comical everyday life and relatable situations.

It’s also a great pick when you want something bright and uplifting.

Computer GrandmaTōkyō Hōsō Jidō Gasshōdan & Sakai Shiyūko

Computer Grandma _ Yuko Sakai (Tokyo Broadcasting Children’s Choir)

“Computer Grandma” is arranged by world-renowned composer Ryuichi Sakamoto and sung by the TBS Children’s Choir with Sayoko Sakai.

It’s a song that expresses respect for a grandmother who, despite her age, knows everything.

Although it’s a gently paced children’s song, it features a synth-driven sound that gives it a somewhat futuristic feel.

Another appeal is its lyrics, which weave in tight rhymes.

Once you hear it, you won’t be able to forget it.
