It’s the song “Can You Hear Me?” which sings about the childhood memories of Haruki Serizawa, the protagonist of the anime “Our Love Has Always Been 10 Centimeters Apart.” The vocals are by Koinu, an alternate name used by the popular singer Riinu.

Because this song is addressed to Haruki’s late older brother, I think it’s a track that those who have lost a sibling will find impossible to listen to without tears.

The lyrics about wanting to see his brother and striving to be someone his brother could be proud of are heartbreaking, yet encouraging.

It’s a song you’ll want to listen to while thinking of someone important to you.

It’s a very cheerful and catchy piece that makes you want to stroll aimlessly under a clear sky.

It’s a song by Hana Sekitori, a singer-songwriter from Kanagawa Prefecture, included on her 2022 album “Mata Aimashitane” (“We Meet Again”).

It was chosen as the theme song for the variety show “Hodō/Shadō Variety: Michi to no Sōgū.” The refreshing sound arrangement makes you want to sway your body from side to side.

It naturally lifts your spirits.

I can picture brothers with their arms around each other, saying, “Let’s go anywhere together.”

A song released in 2022 by the nine-member idol group Snow Man, which also served as the theme song for the film Osomatsu-san in which the group appeared.

Speaking of Osomatsu-san, the anime became a huge hit with multiple seasons—it’s Japan’s most famous sextuplets, right? (lol) The track fits perfectly with the world of the anime and movie, and the lyrics that portray the brothers as so-called “good-for-nothing adults” will have you letting out a little chuckle.

Even their silly sibling squabbles feel oddly relatable.

Brother by Funky Kato, which was the theme song for the movie Sabui Bo Mask that I appeared in.

It’s a song about an older brother who always looked cool and shone in my memories as I look back on my childhood, through all kinds of experiences.

It’s an up-tempo track with a refreshing feel and a hint of nostalgia.

Even if you don’t have an older brother, it’s a song that makes you wish you had one like this.

Just for todayDREAMS COME TRUE

As shown in the music video, this song is about feelings toward siblings who are setting off and will now go their separate ways.

While frustrated with the inability to be honest, it drifts back to memories of childhood.

The last line feels a bit heartrending, but the siblings’ feelings of blessing the departure are heartwarming.

It’s a wonderfully listenable, DREAMS COME TRUE–style sound that captures the mix of happiness and loneliness.

Childish WarSakushi: Reoru / Sakkyoku: Giga P

The popular Vocaloid song “Childish War” is a track that portrays a close-knit pair of brothers.

The lyrics depict exchanges between a slightly unreliable older brother and a responsible younger brother.

Listening to this song feels like you’re right there hearing a sibling squabble up close (lol).

If you have siblings, you might find yourself chuckling and thinking, “We used to talk just like this,” or “This is exactly how we argue every day!” With siblings, the closer you are, the less you hold back.

But in the end, you’re the ones who understand each other best.

MISIA’s “I’m Here Beside You,” which served as the theme song for the live-action film adaptation of the hugely popular manga Fullmetal Alchemist.

Written specifically for the movie—and with MISIA herself being a fan of the original—the song fits its content perfectly.

It feels as if it expresses the feelings and bond of the protagonist brothers.

While there’s nothing explicitly stating “this is about the brothers,” it will especially resonate with fans.
