nothing special just the usual one, no discernible talent, but with huge wads of cash coming in,
well it appears I am not to late if this group G-Pop is anything to go by, the name of the
group is a play on words, the Japanese word ‘Ojii-san’ translates as ‘old man’
the members are aged between 65 and 87, so at 73 I should fit
right in there! The Kochi Prefecture-based music troupe made its professional
debut seven years ago, it’s been busy putting a positive spin on the country’s
rapidly aging population ever since, Universal Studios Japan reportedly signed G-Pop soon after
the group’s debut, and the band’s two most successful singles, ‘Hooray to Old
Age’ and ‘I Was Young’, got hundreds of thousands of views on YouTube, and here
one of them is,
described by their record label as “ordinary grandpas
usually working as fishermen or Bamboo Union heads,” the 5 G-Pop members are
all very energetic, despite the group’s average age of 74, and welcome the
challenge of changing people’s opinions about aging, just when they were about
to go into mainstream productions Covid hit so that was it “We kept in touch
with each other by cellphone even during the pandemic to make sure we were fine
so that we could come back anytime,” group leader Noriyasu Tanioka, said, but now the pandemic seems to be over watch out for G-Pop, hopefully if they want a Western look to their line up, they will find me!
