Book Release: "Grandpa and Grandma's Okinawan Rock 'n' Roll"
"Grandpa and Grandma's Okinawan Rock 'n' Roll" (published by Poplar Publishing) was released on October 13.
This book chronicles the growth journey of ONE VOICE, an Okinawa-based rock 'n' roll chorus group exclusively for those aged 65 and over (average age 70), from its formation to debut, alongside the diverse life stories of its members.
They sing songs aimed at young people under the theme of "living for rock." They didn't start out able to sing or dance to youth-oriented songs. ONE VOICE grows through remarkable achievements and moving experiences, such as performing with BEGIN and interacting with their grandchildren's generation and fellow seniors.
The author highlights two things learned from ONE VOICE members: "the resolve and courage to take that first step on your own two feet" and "the endearing charm of embracing your passion with childlike enthusiasm, unashamed even when you're not good at it."
Finishing this book leaves you feeling refreshed. Above all, it makes you want to experience the youthful energy of grandpas and grandmas at a live ONE VOICE performance.
