One in five elderly people suffer from dementia.

Dementia countermeasures are a major issue these days. According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, it is predicted that one in five elderly people, or approximately 7 million people, will suffer from dementia by 2025. This will become increasingly serious as the elderly population grows. In Japan's super-aging society, efforts to address dementia will become even more important.


The Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare (MHLW) believes that dementia may be preventable and calls for the incorporation and enjoyment of leisure time activities to achieve this goal. An increasing number of individuals are taking measures such as playing mahjong and karaoke, which are said to provide brain training.



[A sharp increase in the number of elderly people learning heavy metal music to prevent dementia!

The number of seniors learning heavy metal music to prevent dementia is rapidly increasing at SMD vocal classes. Karaoke and voice training have always been popular among seniors' lessons, but most of them want to learn enka and songs. Since the publication of "Ozzy Metal Official Guidebook" on February 4, 2023, it has been introduced by many news organizations such as Nittele, TV Asahi, and NHK, and the number of seniors who want to take lessons has increased, saying "I want to try it too.


Shouting heavy metal music satisfies the fundamental human need to shout, and at the same time provides mental satisfaction in the form of exhilaration, a sense of accomplishment, and solidarity with the band members. It is also a great way to improve physical fitness, relieve stress, prevent lifestyle-related diseases, and maintain and improve both physical and mental health.

In the lessons, you will learn rejuvenating belly breathing and practice movements such as high frequency shout vocalization and brain training air guitar and air drums. Students learn how to stand and walk in a rejuvenating manner from day to day, and develop scale position, pitch sense, and sense of rhythm for staging and musical instruments. Students say, "Heavy metal music helps me relieve stress and gives me something to live for." It's simply fun! My neighbors complimented me on how much younger I look. The students have received favorable reviews.



The second edition of the official Ozzy Metal guidebook will be published.

We have developed the "Ozzy Metal" method for dementia prevention and rejuvenation. We are pleased to announce the release of the second edition of the book, "Ozzy Metal Official Guidebook," which introduces practical methods for dementia prevention.


The author is Naoto Motoyama nackey, head of SMD Vocal School. He has supported more than 200 bands, vocalists, singers, and performers, including mega-hit bands that everyone knows, to major success. In his 35 years of teaching voice training, he has helped more than 30,000 people to become professional singers, music teachers, and music instructors.


Message from the Author "People who have a goal and who are on stage get younger and younger, and one woman who did her first voice training at our school at age 69 made her CD debut as a singer/songwriter at age 70. She is 75 now, but she is younger than when I first met her. Many people of my generation have family members suffering from dementia, and Ozzy Metal was born out of a desire to do something to help. I would like to spread the word widely in hopes of helping to prevent dementia." Currently, he is working on the major debut of "Ozzy Metal," a dementia prevention band exclusively for the elderly.
