Interesting Japanese songs recommended for men in their 60s (41–50)
Electric Wire OndoShiro Ito
This is a song sung by Shiro Ito (credited as Benjamin Ito in the show) on a variety program that became a hit.
It’s a song that rides entirely on momentum.
On the same program, Masao Komatsu also turned out several hits, such as Shirake-dori Ondo.
Don't underestimate me.Matayoshi & Namenna yo
In the early 80s, for some reason, Name-neko (the “bad-boy cat” craze) briefly became a fad.
Merchandise modeled after driver’s licenses featuring Name-neko photos was popular at the time.
This song is the image song that came out riding that momentum.
But trends moved quickly back then, and after a brief gust of hype, it faded away just as fast.
Hone Hone RockMasato Shimon
From the long-running children’s show Hirake! Ponkikki, which established an unshakable place for itself over many years, a variety of hit songs were born.
Speaking of Masato Shimon, it goes without saying that Oyoge! Taiyaki-kun was a massive hit.
However, I’d like to spotlight Hone Hone Rock here—a song that, due to its lyrics, seems basically unairable nowadays.
Goten GrandmaFusako Fujimoto
This is a commercial jingle created by the local Shizuoka station, TV Shizuoka, for a campaign, and it was aired only within Shizuoka Prefecture.
The lyrics are sprinkled with the names of cities and towns in Shizuoka, making it educational as well.
The singer is Fusako Fujimoto, well-known for anime and commercial songs such as the theme song of Patalliro.
Ghost RockHiromi Go, Kiki Kirin
There was a time when Hiromi Go released comic songs together with Kiki Kirin, his co-star from the drama “The Mu Ichizoku.” This song, “Obake no Rock,” is fun musically, but the choreography is also pretty amusing, so it’s fantastic to imitate the moves and sing along.
Nodding MarchNodding Trio
Various units were born from the hugely popular 1980s show “Oretachi Hyōkin-zoku.” Among them, one of the units that became quite a hit within the show was the “Unazuki Trio,” a group formed, in a twist, by only the plain, straight-man partners who usually did the “tsukkomi.” It’s an example of turning the idea on its head and ending up being funny precisely because of it.
Sherlock Holmes and Dr. WatsonKei Tani
Speaking of Kei Tani, I have the impression that, while he was a core member of the Crazy Cats, he also did a lot on his own.
He was hugely successful as an actor, and he even sang anime songs as a solo performer.
This one was something he sang for NHK’s “Minna no Uta,” and it’s a quietly popular song.
