I’m at the age where summer festivals are starting to feel tough physically. I sometimes try shooting live photos and videos for MVs. I’m not great at English, so I often listen to straightforward Japanese rock that hits directly, but if someone recommends something, I’ll listen to anything—Western or Japanese—broadly and casually. I like cooking while listening to music; it’s a nice way to relieve stress.

Family, confidants, and yet the greatest rivals too—“siblings.”

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?

Singer-songwriter Chikaco Sawada, known for releasing many songs that portray the preciousness of life—such as “Aitai” and “gift”—has created “Tengoku Post,” a track included on her two-disc album Kokoro Uta ~Best & Cover 30~, released on June 21, 2017.

The song was inspired by a real mailbox that accepts letters to heaven.

Its lyrics, which convey messages to a late younger brother and to family, are likely to bring comfort to those in similar circumstances.

With delicate piano tones that tighten the heart, it’s a sorrowful yet hope-filled ballad.

As the title “Proper Sibling Love” suggests, it portrays the so-called ‘proper’—or perhaps questionable—ways siblings are supposed to be, the classic sibling tropes.

If you have an older sibling, you’ll recognize the string of slightly unreasonable yet all-too-familiar rules.

It’s a sibling song that makes you think, “Was every household like this?” and, “Oh yeah, we had that too,” the kind of nostalgia you can laugh about now.
