Energizing Japanese songs recommended for women in their 60s (51–60)

Suddenly, SinbadSakamoto Fuyumi

This is a sensational video of enka singer Fuyumi Sakamoto performing Southern All Stars’ debut song “Katteni Sindbad.” Sakamoto looks as beautiful as ever in her kimono, and her live performance—even doing call-and-response—is outstanding.

I never imagined I’d get to hear “the hip-sway that sets the heart aflutter” sung with such a beautiful voice.

Enka singer Sachiko Kobayashi drew attention for performing “Senbonzakura,” a song by the Vocaloid Hatsune Miku.

Her powerful vocals, embellished with skillful kobushi (ornamental vibrato), were truly impressive.

She also showed proper respect for the song, resulting in an outstanding rendition.

The performance further gained attention when she sang it on the NHK Red and White Year-End Song Festival (Kōhaku Uta Gassen).

A summer classic brimming with nostalgia and exhilaration.

Released in May 1987 as the theme song for the All Nippon Airways Okinawa campaign, this work is Tatsuro Yamashita’s 16th single.

In 2020, as a substitute for the live house tour that couldn’t happen due to the impact of COVID-19, a no-audience acoustic performance was pre-recorded, and it was announced that the footage would be made available on a video streaming service.

It’s a song marked by a refreshing melody that feels like basking in sunlight and a buoyant, heart-lifting beat.

Its catchy, easy-to-remember phrases will bring a smile to your face just by humming along.

If you listen when you’re tired or feeling low, it’s sure to lift your spirits.

He may be older now, but Julie—that is, Kenji Sawada—is still cool.

Even so, Julie from back then was truly amazing.

He had this great vibe of singing with his whole body, relaxed and at ease, and his sense of style was impeccable—absolutely top-notch.

I’d like to introduce a cool track I’d absolutely recommend to women in their 60s.

“Passion Fruits telecrider” by the band Weekday Sleepers became a hot topic within the industry after it was used in director Company Matsuo’s film “Teleclub Cannonball.” Since then, it’s also been featured on variety shows—a stylish, energizing number that really lifts your spirits.
