Yamaha Music Foundation (Headquarters: Meguro-ku, Tokyo; Chairman: Takuya Nakata) and the General Incorporated Association Japan Longevity Consortium (Headquarters: Bunkyo-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Shigeo Horie, Specially Appointed Professor at Juntendo University) are collaborating to launch 'Hustle Studio,' an initiative aimed at restoring mental and physical youthfulness and improving well-being, designed to solve issues in an aging society. Recruitment for participants in the pre-experience program will begin in May 2026.
'Hustle Studio' is the world's first* attempt to achieve 'youthfulness restoration' by combining music experience, cognitive training, rhythm dance, and dietary guidance. The program incorporates repertory singing from the senior music programs that our foundation has developed over many years. Through this initiative, our foundation aims to re-evaluate the value of music from a health perspective and create new solutions for an aging society.
Notably, this program has garnered attention for its uniqueness and was recently featured on NHK's information program 'Golden Mission: Bounty Race Attracting Global Attention.'
