18．KBG84 is a one-of-a-kind girl band in Japan consisting of 33 singing and dancing grannies，with an average age of 84．The oldest member，Haru Yamashiro，is 97 years old!
The new band，based in the remote island of Kohama in Okinawa，is a huge hit in the country-so much so that the members are rather shocked by their success．Their first single-titled Come on and Dance，Kohama Island-has made it to the top of the charts，and they've just completed a sellout tour of Japan．
"We felt like stars in Tokyo，"added 86-year-old Hideko Kedamori．"Everyone in the audience had a big smile，which gave us the energy to sing our hearts out．We're blessed to have been born in Kohama．Our lyrics are about the island and nature-whales in the sea spouting or dolphins doing somersaults（空翻）．"Regardless of the lyrics，these elderly women are incredibly charming when they perform．Their energy and enthusiasm is amazing，considering their age．In fact，no one under the age of 80is allowed into the band．
It turns out that the pop queens are blessed with incredible genes-Okinawan islanders have one of the highest life expectant in the world．Their diet chiefly consists of vegetables and local purple-fleshed sweet potatoes，with practically no added sugar．Menaka said she isn't particular about her diet．
"I look after my health by cleaning my home，wiping the floors，steaming rice，"
she said．"I stay in the shade when it's too hot．I don't．want to get burnt．I have to take care of my skin-I'm still young at heart!"
