What modern song would an elderly Japanese person like?

Question:


Hello,
I have a community service trip for my club to help out at a japanese senior citizen home. They would like us to perform for them so i offered to sing. I really dont know what song to sing though. I dont mind japanese songs. I think anime songs would be best though. I would like something modern and interesting. Im a soprano but have a wide singing range.

Do you know any japanese songs that elderly would enjoy! Please no classic japanese songs, no offence but it bores me to tears.

Thanks!

Answer:


Like North American seniors like "Swanee River" the Japanese elderly like;

The following would be close to "Tennessee Waltz"

As for composer, "Yoshinao Nakata" would be similar to "Foster"

Enjoy your service trip!
