Perfect for summer! Hula-style dance for seniors: “Oyome ni Oide” by Yuzo Kayama #ForSeniors #HulaDance #Recreation #DanceRecreation #EasyDance #YuzoKayama #OyomeNiOide

Speaking of dances from areas famous for the sea, Hawaiian hula is well known.

Let’s try dancing to the gentle rhythm of Yuzo Kayama’s signature song “Oyome ni Oide,” whose smooth melody evokes the ocean—one of its charms.

Although hula traditionally uses full-body, wave-like movements, you can still create clear wave motions while seated by moving your arms skillfully.

By vividly imagining nature and moving your body, you may even feel a refreshing sensation.

Dancing HeroOginome Yōko

#1: Caregiving dance exercise that seniors can do while seated ♪ 4: Dancing Hero

Dancing Hero is a song released in 1985 as Yoko Oginome’s seventh single.

It was thrust back into the spotlight in 2017 thanks to Osaka Tomioka High School’s dance team and their so-called “Bubble Dance,” and it’s still fresh in many people’s memories.

The original song is “Eat You Up” by British singer Angie Gold.

With its lively disco rhythm, it’s not only perfect for high-level routines like the Bubble Dance, but in recent years it’s also frequently been featured as a theme for Bon Odori.

There’s no doubt it’s a track that can be enjoyed across generations.

Why not have fun with your own choreography, too?

Mambo—a genre that many Japanese first became aware of thanks to Hibari Misora’s “Omatsuri Mambo.” You can probably picture the jokesters who shout “Uu—Mambo!” when they’re in high spirits.

It’s said that mambo emerged in the 1900s from a fusion of rumba and jazz.

Hearing “the 1900s,” it still feels like a relatively new musical genre, doesn’t it? Just the famous intro of “Omatsuri Mambo”—that tsuttaka-tsuttakattakata rhythm—will get your body moving.
