The Third Hinge Theory in Golf — A New Swing Built from the Shoulder, Wrist, and Thumb for a “Floaty” Launch
There’s one thing I always do when I want to carry the ball 300 yards. When you add a small, thumb-based hinge to the classic golf mechanics of shoulder rotation and wrist hinge, the way the clubhead accelerates changes completely.
This idea isn’t something I found in a textbook. It arose from my own swing sensations — my personal hypothesis.
But when I later looked for supporting literature from a biomechanical and biomedical-engineering perspective, I was surprised to find more data than expected that could back up this idea.
Today, I’d like to write about this “triple hinge” in a softer, more accessible way.
1. Shoulder Rotation as the Engine
Three-dimensional motion analyses have shown that trunk rotation is the primary energy source of the golf swing.
When you slowly rotate your shoulders in a wide arc, the lower and upper body store a kind of deep internal “coil,” which then gently releases forward in the downswing.
This is the first hinge.
2. The Wrist Hinge as the Final Gear
Holding the angle at the top of the swing and letting the wrist hinge release from the transition into pre-impact contributes directly to the clubhead’s final acceleration. It creates the stored leverage in the wrists that gives the club that “last little push,” allowing it to whip through lightly.
This is the second hinge.
In a typical golf swing, major acceleration comes from these two hinge systems:
the torso-to-wrist hinge and the wrist-to-clubhead hinge created by the shaft.
3. The “Third Hinge” Created by the Thumb
And here comes the part that’s unique to my hypothesis.
When gripping the club, I gently let the shaft rest on the base of my thumb and, just before impact, I add the slightest sensation of “pushing back.” It feels like using the thumb to receive the shaft’s torque and then return a tiny counter-force. Grip strength may vary by person, but when measured with TrackMan, my clubhead speed increases by more than 3 m/s.
I practiced kendo, so I’m accustomed to the sensation of balancing a bamboo sword on my fingers.
This small pivot point interacts with:
forearm pronation/supination
wrist flexion/extension
adjustments in club lag
Together, they make the clubhead feel as if it gains one more level of acceleration right at the end.
There isn’t any research specifically on this “thumb hinge,” but related studies do show that combined wrist–forearm motions significantly affect clubhead acceleration.
My “third hinge” can be naturally explained as an extension of these existing mechanical principles.
However, one caveat: this technique causes the shaft’s flex to return a bit late, so the ball tends to fly with a fade or slight slice. It goes far, but naturally the directional accuracy drops.
4. But the Foundation Is Still the Swing Plane
These three hinges only work when the swing plane is aligned.
Previous studies have shown that when the plane breaks down, torque transmission decreases — and the more complex the movement, the bigger the loss.
When the shoulder, wrist, and thumb hinges all release on the same “rail,”
the swing becomes easier and more beautiful.
5. In Closing
Even in medicine and engineering, there are times when a casual idea from real-world experience later finds solid support in the literature.
This triple-hinge sensation sprouted in the same way.
Big motion from the shoulders, suppleness in the wrists, and a gentle assist from the thumb. If this can be repeated consistently, the world of 300 yards might feel just a bit more realistic.

Today, I took a group of young business leaders—eight of us in total—and we enjoyed a round at Tateyama Country Club, followed by Magarigawa Club, and then finished with eel. We were blessed with great weather, and it was a fantastic day.

What is the biggest difference between sake and wine?
Is it that one is made from tree fruit and the other from rice?
— No, there’s a more fundamental difference.
If sake turns sour, it’s no longer considered sake!
— That’s certainly true!
Sake doesn’t have vintages.
— Because sake deteriorates over time, right? But that’s not the main point.
The answer:
The biggest difference between sake and wine is that water is added when making sake, whereas no water is used when making wine.
That’s why the local water used for brewing sake is extremely important.
This photo was taken in Kyoto in 2018, when I enjoyed a sake called “R”, made using the yeast of Romanée-Conti.

— A Year-End Story About Reading “幸” as Taka —
When you walk through the city these days, the laughter of people heading home from year-end parties drifts away on the winter wind.
Looking back on a year filled with academic conferences and business trips, I find myself thinking, “Just one more month—let’s give it a final push.” It’s that kind of season.
And at this time of year, there are moments when the mystery of a “name” suddenly comes to mind.
■ Not “Yukihiro,” but “Takahiro”
When meeting someone for the first time, my name is almost always read as Yukihiro.
I started engraving the Roman letters on my business cards and luggage tags after repeatedly experiencing that strange moment when someone called my name and I didn’t realize they meant me.
The character 幸 read as taka.
This reading is quite rare today.
In my entire life, I’ve met someone with the same “幸弘” read as Takahiro only once. And the other day, a friend mentioned knowing someone named “幸子” read as Takako, and I found myself strangely convinced: “Ah, so there are only two people around me who share this reading.”
■ Taka: A Auspicious Echo from Japan’s Linguistic Deep Past
This unusual reading has a firm historical background.
In classical Japanese,
高 (taka) = noble, exalted.
Meanwhile,
幸 (sachi) = good fortune, blessing,
appears frequently in texts from the Nara and Heian periods.
Overlay these two meanings, and scholars note that a special name-only reading emerged where “幸” is read as taka.
A new reading born where meanings resonate with each other—
to me, that is one of the quiet beauties of the Japanese language.
■ “幸 = taka” in Names of Samurai and Affluent Farmers
From the late Edo to early Meiji period, name registers of samurai families and prosperous farming households contain examples such as:
幸之助 (Takanosuke)
幸太郎 (Takatarō)
幸之丞 (Takanojō)
Names in that era often reflected strong wishes for family prosperity and auspicious fortune. The character 幸 symbolized good luck, and combining it with the elevated sound of taka allowed the name itself to function almost like a protective charm.
Names change shape as they are used, gradually molding themselves to the way a person lives—
a reminder of the depth and generosity of the Japanese language.
■ A Small Personal Anecdote
Every time I receive a name badge at an international conference, there’s a certain moment when “TAKAHIRO” feels perfectly at home in my hand.
It’s as if the ancient layers of sound woven by predecessors still pulse through my own name. When you think about it that way, perhaps a name is the closest thing we have to a cultural gene.
■ A Year-End Reflection
With the bustle of year-end parties fading behind me, I sometimes find myself thinking about the origins of my own name—and that kind of quiet moment isn’t so bad.
To read “幸” as taka.
Within that resides a beautiful memory of old Japanese:
an auspiciousness and a noble resonance merging into one.
With just a month left in the year, may you stay well.
And may the coming year bring good “taka”—good fortune your way.

I had been quietly waiting for this day for half a year—
and last night felt like a “small annual festival,” tasting the newly arrived lineup of DRC’s great vineyards side by side.
People often say wine is nothing more than a pastime for the wealthy.
But I believe that a truly remarkable bottle carries history, breathes culture, and distills human endeavor into liquid form.
That is why wine reveals its true nature only when shared, face to face, with good friends.
Especially when it comes to the pinnacle of Burgundy—DRC.
Last night, five cuvées were on the table: Romanée-Conti, La Tâche, Richebourg, Echézeaux, and Corton.
To experience, in one evening, a series whose global market defines its price and whose vintages tell the “climate of their era”—it was pure bliss.
And this year, expectations were particularly high for 2022.
Aubert de Villaine of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti said of the vintage:
“It calls to mind 1959.”
1959 is still remembered as one of the “vintages of the century” in Burgundy.
Critics of the time wrote that Pinot Noir from that year combined power, structure, and great aging potential, while already showing remarkable depth in its youth.
Burgundy 1959 is often described as “sumptuous, ripe, and built for longevity.”
And 2022 Pinot is its true heir.
It has an inner strength born of generous sunshine and perfectly healthy fruit, yet its tannins are supple.
A vintage that is “excellent young but destined to soar with age” is exceptionally rare.
Which is why—
when you share such wines with people who truly understand them, you can even taste the phantom of 1959 together.
How would this much-talked-about 2022 express itself across five vineyards?
Last night was both an answer to that question and the quiet beginning of a small, grown-up journey celebrated among friends.
By the way, we tasted the Romanée-Conti, La Tâche, and Richebourg blind—and they were surprisingly easy to identify.
Human senses truly sharpen.
In conclusion, 2022 is not merely a “good year”—it is a vintage that shines with historical brilliance.
◆ Romanée-Conti 2022
“A density so profound it seems to bend gravity beneath its serenity.”
Romanée-Conti, the most quietly powerful of the DRC wines, shows unusually quick aromatic lift in 2022, yet its depth is bottomless.
Violet, black rose, Darjeeling, damp limestone, white pepper.
On the palate there is no perceptible attack—
the liquid simply gathers, as if defying gravity, at the center of the tongue.
A year that resets the benchmark for elegance.
◆ La Tâche 2022
“Aroma rising like flame—where sensuality meets structure in perfect harmony.”
La Tâche is always dramatic, but in 2022 the stage lights feel brighter.
Black cherry, plum jam, oriental spices, tea leaves, black earth.
The palate is powerful, the tannins precise.
The finish lasts over a minute, the perfumes returning in waves.
A wine that completes its story inside the drinker’s mind.
Critics widely cite it as one of the vintage’s greatest successes.
◆ Richebourg 2022
“Iron and rose—the stately grandeur of a king’s garden.”
If one word captures Richebourg 2022, it is noble.
Black fruits, rose petals, and iron-tinged minerality rise with authority.
The scale on the palate is vast; the tannins fine-grained yet abundant.
The finish is astonishingly long and silky.
Many note that “Richebourg returned in an especially classic form in 2022.”
◆ Echézeaux 2022
“Supple and sensual—the happy equilibrium of 2022.”
Echézeaux reflects its vintage clearly, and in 2022 the fruit reached beautiful maturity.
Velvety red fruits—strawberry compote, raspberry—joined by cinnamon, cedar, and a touch of cacao.
The attack is gentle, yet the finish reveals a subtle, focused minerality.
Often considered the most approachable early within DRC, but in 2022 its completeness exceeds expectations.
◆ Corton 2022
“The awakening of DRC Corton—a coexistence of power and nobility.”
Since DRC began producing Corton, 2022 is regarded as its first true leap forward.
Blackberry, blackcurrant, smoke, clove, and the coolness of the soil.
The tannins are firm but never coarse; the wine retains suppleness within its clear structure.
Many critics say Corton is the DRC red that benefitted most from the 2022 vintage.
2022 is a year in which each DRC vineyard deepened its own identity.
Romanée-Conti is the ultimate stillness;
La Tâche, the pinnacle of movement.
Richebourg stands as king,
Echézeaux as grace,
Corton as awakening.
Last night, La Tâche and Corton shone particularly brightly.
Rather than simply “drinking” them, this was a year in which one reads the vintage’s story within the body itself.

**I was suddenly asked to give a Zoom lecture for a well-known global company—
a session specifically for their male employees on “Men’s Mental Health.”
In just two days, I absorbed the latest cases and research and finished the presentation, including practical approaches.
My honest takeaway?
“Being a man is tough.”
The Three Barriers That Keep Men From Asking for Help
1) Shame and the association with weakness
There’s a deeply rooted misconception that
“talking about your struggles = losing.”
2) Symptoms often appear as physical problems
Stiff shoulders, headaches, insomnia—
making it harder for men to articulate emotional distress as mood issues.
3) Delayed treatment leads to severe outcomes
As a result, the risk of su***de increases—
men are three times more likely to die by su***de than women.
I want this presentation to be something that genuinely reaches these men—
something that might actually help save them.

K-Ballet’s Nutcracker and the “Theater Magic” That Appears Only in Winter〜
As the year draws to a close, I find myself wanting to watch The Nutcracker. I’ve seen countless productions around the world, yet K-Ballet’s Nutcracker possesses a kind of transparent magic that only rises in the Japanese winter.
I started watching it after being encouraged to do so in the post-Covid years, and before I knew it, I was hooked—this year makes it three in a row.
Sitting in the audience, I suddenly remembered the performance I once saw in St. Petersburg.
Not in the sub-zero winter.
But during the season of the white nights, that faintly bright hour when midnight is neither quite night nor day. Even after leaving the theater, the city never sank into dusk.
The pale light of the sleepless city mingled with the lingering afterglow of the ballet, blurring the boundary between dream and reality.
That strange atmosphere was a special experience one could only feel in a Russian theater.
In contrast, Tokyo’s winter is crisp and dry.
The moment the lights come up, the white beams scatter like fine snow, and the air in the theater tightens sharply.
—Japan has its own shape of dreams in winter.
The “Brief Dream” Born from a Double Bill
I learned this for the first time only recently: among Tchaikovsky’s three great ballets, The Nutcracker is the only one that is short because it was created as part of a double bill with the opera Iolanta.
Iolanta is the story of a blind princess who comes to know “light.”
The Nutcracker is the story of a girl who experiences a “dream.”
One is the gaining of vision; the other, an adventure in fantasy.
They resonate with each other—almost like “the dream seen by someone who has just obtained light.”
Early reviews recorded that the deep aftertaste of Iolanta left the audience slightly fatigued, and the bustling Christmas Eve scenes of The Nutcracker that followed immediately lightened the mood of the hall.
In other words, from the start it was designed with the structure:
“Heavy → Light”
“Reality → Dream”
This is why The Nutcracker was never meant to run long.
A dream keeps its density precisely because it is brief.
Returning to K-Ballet’s Night
When the door to fantasy opens, Clara slips into the world of dreams.
The tension of the scene where she is chased by the army of mice, and the moment the Nutcracker stands firm to face them—
I find myself thinking:
“This work itself is constructed like a dream.”
It’s neither the tragedy of Swan Lake nor the courtly opulence of The Sleeping Beauty.
It appears softly and disappears softly—its very transience fits perfectly with the atmosphere of year’s end.
The Conducting of Katsuhisa Ida:
—The Breath of Tempo and K-Ballet’s “Winter Transparency”—
Once again this year, conductor Katsuhisa Ida shaped the music with a tempo that felt like the gentle breathing of winter.
Three moments of his Tchaikovsky particularly struck me:
Act I
“The Christmas Party”
—In the scene where the children run about, he pushes the tempo ever so slightly forward. That subtle “unraveling” warms the entire stage.
“Waltz of the Snowflakes”
—To maximize K-Ballet’s aesthetic of purity, he drives the tempo to the absolute limit—something rarely seen in other companies. The dancers’ movements seem to dissolve into the light, and the sheer volume of falling snow is astonishing every time. It’s a scene I could watch again and again.
Act II
“The Sugar Plum Fairy”
—The attack of the notes feels like crystals dropping from afar. At the instant when the ballerina’s pointe slices the air at a single point, the conducting and the dancing become completely one.
Abroad, Tchaikovsky is sometimes played with a richer sensuality, but Ida’s interpretation holds a “winter clarity.”
It’s easy to see why it harmonizes so well with K-Ballet’s visual world.
Stage Art:
—Where European Tradition Meets Japanese Winter Light—
K-Ballet’s Nutcracker is remarkably refined in its stage design.
Color temperature control
The blue-white light used in the snow scene fits Tokyo’s dry winter perfectly. Compared with European productions, the “particle quality” of the light feels more pronounced.
Shadowing of the sets
The deep shadows in Drosselmeyer’s room retain the weight of old European grandeur, yet the overall arrangement evokes a Japanese sense of minimalism.
Fluid movement unique to a ballet company
Each time Clara moves through space, the stage transforms instantly into “another world.”
In the scene where dancers from around the world appear, the next dancer enters cloaked in a mantle, which is then whisked diagonally upward—revealing the dancer beneath. This quick transition is something I’ve never seen in overseas companies.
Under the Winter Sky of Tokyo
After the performance, the street trees outside the theater glowed with champagne-gold lights.
Nineteenth-century St. Petersburg and Reiwa-era Tokyo.
Separated by distance and time, yet the same music fills the winter night and gently opens the same door to a dream.
After the final curtain, I greeted conductor Ida backstage.
With a warm smile he said, “I’m so glad we could meet again!” and we naturally exchanged a friendly hug. Honestly, it was simply the quickest way to convey what I felt. (Laughs)
In that moment, the afterglow of the stage sank one note deeper.
It was, again, a truly beautiful and abundant night.

—A Day Watched Over by Keiun-Okoru

Today I was invited to a tea gathering at the Kujō Pavilion of the National Museum.
I don’t usually attend tea ceremonies—ever since I stretched a ligament while skiing, sitting in seiza has been difficult. But the moment I stepped into the tearoom, that excuse simply dissolved.
Hanging in the alcove were three characters:
慶雲興 (Keiun okoru).
This phrase, rooted in auspicious expressions from China’s Six Dynasties period, carries the meaning of “fortunate clouds rising” or “good omens emerging.”
Even in the Old Book of Tang, keiun is recorded as a sign of auspice—an expression symbolizing blessings at the national scale.
To hang such a phrase in a tearoom—
perhaps it conveys the host’s wish that “the very fact that we gather here today is itself a good omen.”
And strangely enough, words do change the air.
The quiet grows deeper.
Breathing becomes slower.
It felt as if the spirit of ichigo ichie—“one encounter, one chance”—had been distilled into those three characters.
A tearoom is a place where you don’t have to be perfect.
You may sit on a chair or cross-legged.
What matters is not the posture, but the angle of awareness.
When you receive the teabowl with both hands, your spine naturally aligns, stray thoughts fall away. Silence is the finest medicine.
After gazing up at the “fortunate clouds,” I stepped into the world of Unkei.
Right now, masterpieces handed down from Kōfukuji are gathered at the Unkei exhibition at Ueno Museum.
Unkei was a master sculptor of the early Kamakura period, the leading figure of the Kei school centered around Kōfukuji in Nara.
He was the one who transformed the image of Buddhist statues from “calm and serene” to something defined by muscle, force, and vitality.
In other words, “the man who set Buddhist statues in motion.”
Wood that nonetheless pulses with life.
You can see emotion.
The eyes are alive—anger, prayer, resolve.
The moment your gaze meets theirs, your own heartbeat quickens.
Realism was not mere technique; it was a means for carving emotion itself.
His work resonates with the warrior culture of the Kamakura era.
As Japan shifted from the aristocratic Heian world to an age of warriors—its spirit and values moving toward realism—Unkei grasped that atmosphere with remarkable precision.
The reason Unkei’s 13th-century sculptures still strike us today:
The pressure that makes you stop.
The inescapable presence.
The sense of “living wood.”
They require no conceptual explanation like contemporary art—your eyes are simply drawn in, your mind shaken.
If one were to put it in scientific terms, perhaps their forms stimulate the amygdala—the brain’s center for fear and tension.
Today, the tearoom sharpened my “stillness,”
and Unkei awakened my “motion.”
It felt like I charged myself with very good ki during my time in Ueno.

~ The “Love Memory × Music × Beautiful Skin” Formula for Rejuvenation ~
“Recalling successful romantic experiences from your younger years.”
This simple act has a surprisingly strong biological rejuvenating effect.
And it’s not just about feeling better—
it can actually appear as measurable improvements on diagnostic devices.
Let’s break down the mechanism step by step.
1. Why Romantic Memories Boost Estrogen
Moments you experienced in past relationships—
• that flutter of excitement
• the sense of success
• feeling desired
• enhanced self-worth
All of these activate the brain’s reward system and switch on the hypothalamic–pituitary–gonadal axis (H-P-G axis).
As a result:
Estrogen levels rise
Oxytocin (“the love hormone”) increases
Cortisol (the stress hormone) decreases
In particular, recalling experiences of success helps your brain re-establish the belief that
“I am valuable,”
which shifts your hormonal environment toward a more youthful state.
2. Estrogen: The Hormone That Literally Rejuvenates the Skin
Estrogen works on the three pillars of beautiful skin:
1) Increased collagen synthesis
Collagen creates firmness and elasticity.
It naturally declines with age, but estrogen promotes its production.
2) Improved hydration (via hyaluronic acid production)
This enhances the skin’s moisture retention—
a key factor in dryness and fine lines.
3) Better microcirculation
More blood flow means better tone, clarity, and plumpness.
In other words,
firmness, radiance, and dewiness
belong to estrogen’s domain.
Instruments like cutometers or skin conductance meters often show:
increased elasticity
higher moisture levels
faster skin recovery
These are the numeric signs of rejuvenation.
3. Music Enhances This Effect Even Further
Music like Chopin—
• smooth melodies
• mid–low frequency tones
• slow, gentle tempo—
activates the parasympathetic nervous system and optimizes hormonal balance.
Especially:
Romantic memories × Music
= stronger emotional recall
= higher self-esteem
= activation of “romantic brain circuits”
This becomes a booster for estrogen release.
It’s truly a triad:
Emotion × Sound × Memory = Biological Rejuvenation.
4. But—Pigmentation and Dark Spots Are a Different Field
This point is extremely important.
Areas estrogen is good at improving:
firmness
elasticity
hydration
healthy tone
Areas it is NOT effective for:
dark spots
uneven pigmentation
melasma
sun damage
Why?
Because these issues come from
melanin × UV exposure × epidermal turnover,
which hormones do not directly change.
Therefore:
5. Conclusion
If you want to rejuvenate the inner skin—its firmness and moisture—
romantic memories × music are highly effective.
If you want to rejuvenate the surface of the skin—its color and spots—
laser treatments are the optimal solution.
6. Summarized as a Quote
“Emotion rejuvenates the dermis; lasers perfect the epidermis.”
Both are necessary.
Both play different roles.
And when they come together—
true youth is complete.
~ “Chopin for Beautiful Skin” Top 10: How Music Makes Your Skin Younger ~
In aesthetic medicine, we often say:
“Skin is a mirror—it reflects lifestyle and emotion with precision.”
Lack of sleep
Stress
Tension
Autonomic imbalance
All of these lead to:
reduced circulation
dryness
dullness
inflammation
loss of collagen
In other words, beautiful skin is built on four pillars:
blood flow × parasympathetic balance × sleep × stress control
And Chopin’s music matches these four astonishingly well.
Why?
slow pace
legato phrasing
mid/low register
emotional softening
synchronizes with breathing
Chopin creates an environment where the skin can repair itself.
Here are ten pieces selected from the perspective of “skin beauty.”
① Nocturne Op. 9 No. 2
◎ Deepens breathing, enhances facial and peripheral circulation
◎ Releases facial tension, softens expression muscles
◎ Nighttime calmness supports sleep—
and good sleep = growth hormone = collagen production
② Nocturne Op. 27 No. 2
◎ Calms emotion, reducing stress-related inflammation
◎ Clear, transparent resonance brightens the skin tone through improved blood flow
③ Raindrop Prelude Op. 28 No. 15
◎ Its steady rhythm stabilizes the autonomic nervous system
◎ Acts as an emotional “purification,” preventing dullness caused by emotional stagnation
④ Étude Op. 10 No. 3 “Tristesse”
◎ Loosens the chest area, increasing oxygen supply to the skin
◎ Emotional quieting resets stress-related aging hormones
⑤ Waltz Op. 64 No. 2
◎ The gentle rocking of triple meter encourages parasympathetic dominance
◎ Soft brightness improves complexion without overstimulation
⑥ Ballade No. 1
◎ Encourages introspection and mental reset—skin changes from internal circulation
◎ The calm after the climax creates a prime window for recovery
⑦ Mazurka Op. 17 No. 4
◎ Releases unnecessary bodily tension, reducing puffiness
◎ Its tender melancholy soothes the mind and softens inflammatory reactions
⑧ Barcarolle Op. 60
◎ Wave-like rhythm improves vascular flexibility and skin firmness
◎ Long phrases deepen breathing, enhancing moisture barrier recovery
⑨ Lento con Gran Espressione (Posthumous)
◎ Acts as an emotional “substitute for tears,” clearing dullness
◎ Quiet introspection settles the nervous system before sleep
⑩ Berceuse Op. 57
◎ Guides the mind into deep sleep—critical for skin regeneration
◎ Completely tension-free structure promotes youthfulness through relaxation
How to Listen to “Chopin for Beautiful Skin”
Play at low volume at night
Nighttime is when skin repair peaks
Breathe: 4 seconds in, 6 seconds out
Relax fully in bed or on a sofa
Lower muscle tension = better hydration
Final Message
Beautiful skin isn’t created by cosmetics alone.
Nor by lasers alone.
It is created by a state of recovery.
Chopin’s music—
• soothes without strain
• unwinds the heart
• optimizes blood flow and sleep—
is a form of environmental design for beautiful skin.

〜 The Essence of Youth and Testosterone 〜
At academic conferences, one question always arises:
“What exactly is youth?”
The answer is surprisingly simple:
Vitality (motivation, forward energy)
Muscle mass & bone density
Fat control
Sexual function
Cognitive function
Mental stability
Youth is the state in which all six remain intact.
And testosterone is—
a command-center hormone that influences all six.
That’s why it is essential for “youthfulness.”
When testosterone drops?
You get tired easily
Motivation falls
Muscle decreases
Fat accumulates
Libido & erectile function decline
Concentration weakens
Mood becomes unstable
This state is the very feeling of aging.
In other words:
Lower testosterone = the subjective experience of aging.
But here’s the important part.
Testosterone does not:
skyrocket just by listening to energetic music
increase dramatically from a single action
Rather, it is diminished by:
stress
sleep deprivation
chronic fatigue
These are the true enemies that deplete testosterone.
Anti-aging is therefore not only the work of “increasing,” but the strategy of “not letting it drop.”
So where does music help?
Music doesn’t directly create testosterone.
But — it does this:
1. Lowers stress
(stress is the strongest suppressor of testosterone)
2. Activates the parasympathetic nervous system
(hormone secretion normalizes in relaxed states)
3. Improves sleep quality
(70–80% of testosterone is produced during sleep)
Meaning:
Music is a tool that creates the ideal environment for testosterone production.
Among classical composers, Mozart is uniquely effective because his music:
has low stimulation
is regular and predictable
rarely causes mental fatigue
Thus it strongly supports the autonomic nervous system and sleep—
and as a result, helps prevent testosterone decline.
The Three Realistic Pillars for Boosting Testosterone
1. Nutrition
(especially protein, zinc, and vitamin D)
→ raw materials for muscle and hormone synthesis.
2. Strength training
(large muscle groups: squats, deadlifts, etc.)
→ muscle activates the “hormone factory.”
3. Deep sleep
→ the main secretion window for testosterone.
And music strongly supports Pillar #3.
Conclusion
Testosterone is the central axis of youth
But no single factor can create youth alone
Music is the best tool to improve the secretion environment
So anti-aging comes down to:
Muscle × Sleep × Stress Management × Autonomic Balance = Youth
Quietly supporting that foundation is:
“Mozart without burden.”
“Anti-Aging Mozart”
Anti-aging isn’t just keeping cells young—
it’s living in a way that doesn’t exhaust the brain, mind, autonomic nerves, blood flow, or hormones.
Youth, in essence, is “quiet spaciousness within the body.”
Mozart possesses a unique combination of:
lightness, regularity, clarity, and zero listening fatigue.
Let’s explore each piece and its “youth-preserving effects.”
① Divertimento K.136 – 1st Movement
◎ A warm-up piece that boosts “morning blood flow” in the brain
Like a morning walk—light tempo, short phrases.
Blood flow rises naturally without overstimulation.
◎ “Neutral optimism” that fuels vitality
Not forced cheerfulness—just a gentle lift at the corners of the mouth.
This subtle forward motion dissolves stagnation, a key driver of aging.
◎ A clear head after listening
As if the shelves of the brain were tidied.
Ideal for setting a youthful brain-state in the morning.
② Eine kleine Nachtmusik – 1st Movement
◎ Predictability that reduces stress
A regular, foreseeable structure.
This “steady rhythm” sends a signal of safety to the autonomic nerves.
◎ A brightness that naturally straightens posture
Positive but not pushy.
It creates an inner upward axis—restoring youthful presence.
◎ Lightly engineered so fatigue doesn’t accumulate
No overcrowding of notes → no brain fatigue.
Not getting tired is an important form of anti-aging.
③ Clarinet Concerto – 2nd Movement
◎ Breathing deepens; the parasympathetic system takes over
The clarinet’s breath aligns with the listener’s.
Deep breathing releases chronic tension—the strongest accelerant of aging.
◎ Steady heart rate = body shifts into “youth mode”
Stable rhythm supports hormone balance.
Quiet mind → younger physiology.
◎ Strong healing effect; perfect for nighttime
Relax the nerves, then sleep—
the best insurance for youthfulness.
④ Piano Concerto No.21 – 2nd Movement
◎ Transparent calm that cools “brain inflammation”
Stress heats the brain and speeds aging.
This piece cools that heat like clear ice water.
◎ A sinking sensation that prepares deep sleep
A descending, not ascending, movement.
It guides the mind toward the depth needed for quality rest.
◎ Beauty that resets mental fatigue
Encounters with beauty trigger recovery.
Resetting mental strain is the foundation of anti-aging.
⑤ Symphony No.40 – 1st Movement
◎ Gentle stimulation that awakens neural circuits
Stagnation and low mood advance aging.
This piece nudges the brain forward without overwhelming it.
◎ Moderate drive that awakens vitality hormones
The desire to move or think rises—
and desire itself is a sign of youth.
◎ After listening, your inner “stride” returns
When rhythm normalizes, age feels less heavy.
⑥ Violin Concerto No.3 – 2nd Movement
◎ Loosens bodily tension and improves blood flow
Blood flow is youth.
This piece melts muscular defense responses.
◎ A sense of gentle touch that relaxes the heart
The violin’s warmth feels almost human.
Safety stops the aging process.
◎ Restorative, preventing afternoon fatigue from carrying over
Resets evening tension to preserve nighttime youth.
⑦ Piano Sonata K.545 – 1st Movement
◎ Enhances the brain’s organizing ability
Short, orderly phrases streamline thinking.
This “mental tidying” lies at the core of youth.
◎ Lightness that blows away heaviness
Heaviness is where aging is felt.
This piece disperses it like air.
◎ Effective even in a short listen
Refreshing results in just 3–4 minutes.
⑧ Flute Concerto – 2nd Movement
◎ Breath becomes slow and deep
Aging progresses when breathing grows shallow.
Flute tones open the breath like a breeze.
◎ Gentle warmth as blood flow stabilizes
Better circulation restores body temperature, activating cellular metabolism.
◎ A “restful aesthetic” that prevents tension buildup
The longer the body stays relaxed, the younger it appears.
⑨ String Quartet “Dissonance” – 2nd Movement
◎ Smooths emotional waves to create “even youth”
Emotional volatility makes one feel older.
This piece returns those waves to gentle curves.
◎ Perfect balance of quiet and brightness
Not dark, not overly bright—
this middle ground stabilizes hormones.
◎ Leaves the heart aligned and centered
Posture and mood straighten toward the center.
⑩ Requiem – “Lacrimosa” (soft performance)
◎ Deep silence detoxes mental fatigue
Mental exhaustion sends aging signals to cells.
This piece lets that fatigue fall away.
◎ A cleansing effect that invites tears
Tears are detox.
Those who cannot cry often age faster.
◎ The post-music silence completes recovery
The afterglow is the final stage of anti-aging.
Anti-Aging = Effortless, Light, Quiet
Youth is:
not carrying fatigue
not accumulating tension
not overloading the brain
The result is a “light body and quiet mind.”
Mozart is the music that—
does not drain youth.
I’ve also prepared an Anti-Aging Jazz selection for this same project—
so jazz lovers, enjoy that one too.
