Uplifting Japanese songs recommended for men in their 60s

I’ve put together a playlist of uplifting songs from Japanese music—J-POP and kayōkyoku—recommended for gentlemen in their 60s, around retirement age.

It’s full of energizing tracks perfect for moments when you want to give it your all or need a little push.

Energizing Japanese songs recommended for men in their 60s (61–70)

Dance at Nightfurenzu

It would be lovely to play a song like this in the car.

How about a drive after retirement? The vocals will win you over with the gap between a super R&B singing voice and a cute appearance you’d never expect.

It’s a really wonderful track that lifts your spirits.

Itsuro Oizumi / Mago (Grandchild)

This is a song I recommend for those who’ve just welcomed their first grandchild.

It’s an enka track that became a phenomenal hit, selling over 2.3 million copies in total.

When it was first released, the feelings it expressed didn’t quite resonate with me, but after my grandchild was born, I listened again and got hooked—it’s a song that gives you energy.

Omoide Yaro A Team is a wonderful band that weaves together musical styles like funk, soul, reggae, disco, African music, punk, and more.

Their sound, steeped in a sense of nostalgia, is a perfect fit even for men in their 60s.

Please give them a listen—I’m sure you’ll be drawn in.

A very uplifting number where Tomomi Kahala sings one of Sharam Q’s signature songs.

Tomo-chan is stunningly beautiful no matter her age, and her vocal ability is incredible! She nails the high notes, making it a captivating and wonderfully charming performance.

This is an absolutely amazing song, seriously released by former top AV actress Yuma Asami.

After overcoming illness, I hope Yuma Asami spreads her wings and soars globally.

And if you watch Yuma Asami’s AV after listening to this, you’ll be, well, raring to go!

This is a song covered by Bank Band, the charity band led by Kazutoshi Sakurai, originally a classic by Kazumasa Oda.

Despite being such a gentle, mellow ballad, it’s an incredible song that fills you with energy.

It makes you want to share your feelings with someone special.

A signature song by Yellow Magic Orchestra, known by the nickname YMO.

It was a huge hit at the time, and you could even hear it playing in pachinko parlors.

It’s an instrumental track with no vocals, but just listening to it without any singing still makes you excited and lifts your spirits.
