Anime songs recommended for people in their 60s: from nostalgic classics to the latest hits (61–70)
Make way for Lord Kunimatsu!Kiyoko Yamamoto
An anime based on Tetsuya Chiba’s original work, belonging to the then-popular “bancho” (delinquent leader) genre.
The story follows a very mischievous protagonist who solves various school-related problems.
The characters filling roles like henchman, rival, and Madonna (the school beauty) carry a nostalgia unique to that era.
“Kunikatsu-sama no Otoori-dai” features a festival-like musical style and is wonderfully cheerful.
Sazae-sanYuko Uno
Since its first broadcast in 1969, this truly long-running, nationally beloved anime has appeared in living rooms every week to this day.
I think it’s amazing.
Hats off to the staff as well.
It’s an anime that evokes nostalgia yet also engages with contemporary topics, without feeling the least bit dated.
I hope it continues forever.
Yokai Human BemHoney Knights
It’s an anime about three yokai-like beings (no, they’re definitely yokai) who punish humans who commit evil deeds.
The protagonists carry the hope of becoming human, yet harbor the sorrow of knowing they cannot, giving the story a melancholic, deeply dark atmosphere and worldview.
The Casebook of Sabu and IchiNoboru Sakanashi
This is the opening theme of the anime that began airing in 1968, based on Shotaro Ishinomori’s manga “Sabu to Ichi Torimono Hikae.” It’s a period drama that also incorporates mystery elements, following the duo Sabu and Ichi as they solve cases.
Sung by Noboru Sakanashi, the main theme has an enka-like feel and clearly conveys the story of the protagonists dashing about for justice with a powerful presence.
At the same time, the light, whistling-like timbre is striking, evoking the flavor of detective dramas and Westerns.
Mach GoGoGoVocal Shop
It was an anime about sports car racing that was especially popular among boys.
It might even have sparked the sports car boom that followed.
In fact, the Mach 5 being turned into a real car became a hot topic.
I think this definitely drew the attention of boys at the time.
In conclusion
Over a long period of time, anime has become established as a part of Japanese culture.
If you get the chance, try asking the younger generation, “Do you know this song?” You might be surprised—chances are they do.
That’s how beloved these classic tunes are!
