Masterpieces about brothers: Songs I want to dedicate to my beloved siblings (41–50)
idiot brothersMidorikawa Shobō
This is a track included on his first best-of album, “Minna no Uta Best,” released on October 20, 2010.
As his name ‘Midorikawa Shobo’ (Bookstore) suggests, the singer-songwriter is known for songs that feel like reading short novels, each with weight and a strong sense of story.
This song is said to be about his younger brother, and although the latter half contains blunt, forcefully worded lines that are surprising, you can feel the kind of love that exists precisely because they’re family.
Circle of Thanksayaka
A warm ballad wrapped in feelings of kindness and gratitude.
The sense of “thank you” we feel in everyday life—gratitude to a mother, bonds with friends, thoughts for family—is conveyed through Ayaka’s powerful yet delicate vocals.
Released in October 2013 as the campaign song commemorating the 40th anniversary of Nestlé’s KitKat in Japan and included on the album Rainbow Road, this track is also popular for expressing thanks to a beloved older or younger sister, and as background music at weddings.
Which one?Saitō Burazāzu
A message song where twin pro wrestlers spin humor-packed lyrics over a powerful band sound.
Written and composed by Hanawa, it presents a comical world that makes the most of the pair’s unique personalities.
By name-checking popular comedians and posing the question “Which one?”, the song strikingly draws out the twins’ appeal.
This work powerfully sings of the joy, resolve, and love for the world born from moving between the stage and the ring.
Their major-label debut, releasing in February 2025, will come in two formats: a limited first edition and a standard edition, with the music video and behind-the-scenes footage included.
It’s a recommended track not only for pro wrestling fans, but also for anyone who wants a boost of energy or a heartwarming song.
Brothers’ SongMatsuda Yūsaku
The actor Yusaku Matsuda, who remains a charismatic favorite even after his passing.
This song was used as an insert track in the 1981 film Yokohama BJ Blues, in which he played a blues singer and detective.
Set to a breezy West Coast-style sound, it’s a classic that poignantly sings of longing for a lost “brother.”
Brotherly linked-verseKitajima Kyōdai
Kitajima Brothers is a duo consisting of Takeshi Kitayama and Yutaka Oe, members of the so-called “Kitajima Family” belonging to Saburo Kitajima’s music agency.
While their name suggests they are ‘brothers’ in the sense of being part of the same family, the lyrics convey a solid bond both as senior and junior colleagues and as men—capturing the essence of male siblings.
It carries the unique power of enka, evoking a kind of brotherly tie that you don’t find with sisters.
Songs about brothers are often in J-pop, but how about a track like this for a change?
