It's not strictly a Japanese thing. How many times has Ozzy Osbourne retired now?

Yeah, it's really a boomer thing. That generation just refuses to give up - a blessing and a curse.

It's more a thing of creative people, not boomers. Artist of all trade are retiring and coming back all the time, independent of their age. I would assume that they just have a drive to fulfill, which does not get satisfied enough in retirement. And they simply retire when they feel burned, and come back when they have recharged and found new inspiration.
