There’s always tomorrowSakamoto Kyu
Kyu Sakamoto, an enka singer with fans across a wide range of ages.
The exercise routine set to his song “Ashita ga Aru sa” is recommended because it’s low-impact—you can even do it seated by just moving your hands.
If you move your right hand diagonally upward and your left foot diagonally downward at the same time, you can also expect a brain-training effect! Adding a motion where you place your hands on your shoulders and rotate your shoulder blades can help relieve common stiffness in the back and shoulders.
And even if you mess up, the lyrics—“There’s always tomorrow”—lift your spirits, so it’s a win-win!
The Highland Train GoesOkamoto Atsurō
A perfect fit for a refreshing morning is a full-body exercise set to “The Highland Train Is Coming.” It’s easy for anyone to try, based on simple movements like sitting in a chair and stretching your arms and legs wide.
By the way, this song was sung by Atsuro Okamoto, who was very popular in the early Showa era, and for those who listened to the original in real time, it’s likely to feel very nostalgic.
As the title suggests, imagine riding a train through the highlands, stretch your arms and legs to the fullest, and set yourself up for a comfortable day from morning onward!
