Energizing Japanese songs recommended for women in their 60s (21–30)
My Life (HIP-HOP ver.)TATSUKO★88
The debut track of 88-year-old breakout rapper TATSUKO★88, who was forced to live in reconstruction housing after the Great East Japan Earthquake.
It’s an uplifting rap that encourages listeners as she looks back on her life and declares, “No matter what happens, we can overcome it.”
We’re Rishiri BoysRīshirī Bōizu
This is the debut track of the HIPHOP group “Rishiri Boys,” formed by three grandfathers—active fishermen living in Rishiri Town—whose combined age is 246, to energize their local community.
Their dream is to perform at the NHK Kōhaku Uta Gassen, and their determination to aim high no matter their age is truly inspiring!
Surely more than anyone else in the worldNagayama Miho & WANDS
Released in 1992, this song became a major hit, selling 1.83 million copies.
Originally a ballad in its demo form, it was rearranged into the current 8-beat style, turning it into a very uplifting track.
Assigning Miho Nakayama as the lead vocalist and Sho Uesugi of WANDS on backing vocals created a wonderful harmony.
Come on and Dance Kohama IslandKBG84 (Kohamajima Bāchan Gasshōdan)
This is the debut song of KBG84, the Kohama Island Grandma Choir.
With members in their 80s and 90s, and the oldest at 97, just watching the Kohama Island Grandma Choir fills you with energy.
The lyrics conjure the island’s beauty, and the up-tempo dance sound is incredibly stylish.
Seaside BoundZa Taigāsu
This is The Tigers’ second single, released in 1967.
Less than three months after their debut, it became a huge hit, selling 400,000 copies and helping to cement the group’s popularity.
With its cheerful calls and light, breezy guitar sound, it’s the kind of upbeat song that makes your body start keeping time before you know it.
You can picture the scene: singing out feelings of love against a blue sky and a white sandy beach, having a carefree, joyful time.
Why not listen to it while basking in the sparkling nostalgia of summers past?
Dream GuideYamaguchi Momoe
Momoe Yamaguchi, the legendary idol who left behind many timeless hits.
If you’re in your 60s, regardless of gender, you’ve probably heard her voice.
Among her songs, one I especially recommend for being both exciting and easy to sing is Yumesaki Annainin (Dream Guide).
It’s a bright, quintessentially Showa-era tune, yet the vocal line is very simple, with no phrases that require complex pitch movements.
If you want to liven things up with a song brimming with classic Showa charm, definitely add this one to your repertoire.
younger boykyandīzu
Candies’ hit song “Toshishita no Otoko no Ko” (“A Younger Boy”).
Its bright, quintessential Showa-era idol melody is really striking, isn’t it? For women in their 60s, it’s likely a real crowd-pleaser.
That said, the section just before the chorus in the B-melody can be a bit tricky—the pitch jumps up all at once, so if you find that part hard to sing, try adjusting the key up or down with a focus on that section.
Overall, it’s a mid-tempo piece that’s easy to sing, so add it to your repertoire and use it to liven up your next karaoke session.
