In this article, we’ll introduce songs that are especially uplifting for women in their 70s.

We’ve selected a wide range of tracks, from songs around the 1950s to those from the 2000s, so please take this opportunity to give them another listen.

The song “Makka na Taiyō” (The Crimson Sun), released in 1967, was performed by Hibari Misora together with Jackie Yoshikawa and the Blue Comets.

It was originally created for an album commemorating the 20th anniversary of Hibari Misora’s career, but thanks to strong praise among the staff and the encouragement of Misora’s mother, Kimie Kato, it was released as a single and became a massive hit, selling 1.4 million copies.

The song, which sings of a blazing love lasting only a single summer, has since been covered by many musicians.

Its powerful rhythm is sure to lift the spirits of listeners.
