KBG84 is short for "Kohama Ba-chan's Gasshou-dan" (Kohama Grannies Chorus) 84...

You can't join until you are older than 65 and the average age is 84. This group of women are funny, cute, and know about life!

Oh there is no rule against dating either!

You can't join until you are older than 65 .....................

Article says: "..........the group, which has a minimum age requirement of 80........." but that may not be correct.

Respect. If I'm lucky enough I might just reach their age and hope to be as genki as them...

This is one of those things I love about Japan. A sense of pride and fun, expressed through art. Wouldn't we all love to not only take in one of their performances, but also be able to participate? Except I'm a man. BUT, if my wife looked at their performance in amazement, I'd push her to join them, making sure she used her cane, of course! You go, girls!
