Energizing Japanese songs recommended for men in their 60s (51–60)
Summer Soulcero
It’s a warm, comforting song that gently accompanies the listener’s heart.
The protagonist’s feelings—lonely amid the hustle and bustle of the city yet trying to find a glimmer of hope—are portrayed with care.
Released in May 2015, this track is known as one of cero’s signature works and was performed on a SMAP TV program.
It’s the perfect song for a summer night drive or a moment when you’re standing at a crossroads in life.
The mature, captivating vocals and the refined musicianship—blending elements of jazz and funk—will soothe the listener’s soul.
How about listening to it with your wife, enjoying a relaxed moment together?
At a café I don’t go to oftennever young beach
The band never young beach feels as if it’s revived Showa-era kayōkyoku in the present day.
Their uplifting, wonderful numbers bring back those everyday moments you’d forgotten.
The vocalist’s voice somehow resembles Yūzō Kayama’s, evoking a sense of nostalgia.
Give me more Patience JUICE ♥aoi rena
This is a song I highly recommend for anyone in their 60s who feels their manhood’s energy has started to wane a bit.
If you see the AV actress Rena Aoi cutely singing “Give me more of your patience juice,” you’ll definitely feel energized! The song itself is good, and it’s a cute, fun idol tune.
What a nice bath.Za Dorifutāzu
Originally a song about various regions of Japan by Duke Aces, it became a huge hit when The Drifters sang it with lyrics by Rokusu Eri.
It’s a simple song that lifts your spirits—perfect for listening with the family.
Doesn’t it make you want to take a bath?

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.
day by dayYoshida Yamada
This is a ballad recommended for people in their 60s who have just welcomed a grandchild.
As you listen, imagine your grandchild singing a song like this when they grow up.
I’m sure the tears will start to flow naturally.
It’s a hidden gem that will lift your spirits.
grandchildŌizumi Itsurō
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.
