Interesting Japanese songs recommended for men in their 60s (21–30)
Yellow Submarine OndoKanazawa Akiko
It’s a song that, originally, somehow turned a Beatles track into an ondō and had Akiko Kanazawa sing it—a chemical reaction that ended up working brilliantly.
Come to think of it, there was also Masato Shimon’s Japanese version of the Star Wars theme with added lyrics, but that’s remembered for different reasons.
The singing, of course, is outstanding.
Enka chanchaka-chanHirano Masaaki
It’s a song that strings together one-liners from various enka hits up to that time, weaving in clever call-and-response interjections to create a medley.
When the song was popular, the Drifters often imitated it in their skits on shows like “Zen’in Shūgō,” using it as a running gag.
Theme of the Mean/Spiteful Old Ladysurappusuteikku
A catchy and fun song that became a big hit as the theme for ‘Mean Old Lady.’ Slapstick was a band formed by top voice actors of the time, and I think this is probably their most famous song.
Saizansu MamboToni Tani
With an abacus in hand and a jaunty rhythm, this is one of Tony Tani’s hit songs, famous for the line “What’s your name?” Tony Tani himself now feels retro, and the abacus as an item also gives off a retro vibe nowadays.
Amiami dadaba AmidababaAkashiya Sanma
In the Take-chan Man segment, which became the main event within Oretachi Hyōkin-zoku, Akashiya Sanma took on a variety of villain roles after the very early days, and every one of them became famous.
Most of the characters had their own funny theme songs, but here I’d like to highlight the B-side of the Amida Babaa song, which, as far as I know, wasn’t used in the show.
It’s understated, but it’s an amazing track.
Nonsensical Songbakushou mondai
It’s a song from Ponkickies that, for some reason, ended up being a hit when Bakausha Mondai sang it.
The song is extremely short, and as the title suggests, it’s kind of “nonsense” — maybe the fact that it actually works better when you sing it casually and goof around with it is what made it so good.
Thank you so, so much for your hard work.Za Dorifutāzu
Among the Drifters’ songs, this one has catchy wordplay and phrases with a brisk tempo, making it a popular track.
Many of the Drifters’ songs are arrangements of existing tunes, and perhaps they were just very good at arranging.
They were quite fond of military songs, and it’s not widely known that they have many tracks related to that genre.
Even Dorifu Daibakushō is a parody of a military song.
