Thinking of my sistersthea

Omouta ~Thinking of My Sisters~

This is the JT commercial song “JT Omouta: Sisters Edition,” which tells the story of two sisters from childhood, set to a moving melody.

They used to cut each other’s hair while playing, but after becoming professional hairstylists, they ended up as rivals.

In this commercial, we see them happily doing each other’s hair again after experiencing the hardships of the real world, and it’s both beautiful and touching.

The music was composed by Kiyosaku of MONGOL800, with tear-jerking lyrics by Makoto Shinohara.

The singer delivering the gentle vocals is thea.

All we know about her is that she’s from Nagano Prefecture.

It’s a song that makes you think of your family back home—something you never want to forget.

A gem of a ballad by DOUBLE that gently envelops deep love for her sister and the sorrow of loss.

Included on the ballad best album “Ballad Collection Mellow,” released in April 2010, the song returns to the roots of DOUBLE’s activity as a sister duo.

Through imagery that shifts from rain to light, it expresses the resolve to face forward while accepting a farewell to a loved one.

It’s a song I’d recommend to anyone who resonates with the feelings for sisters or family, or who wants to etch memories of someone dear into their heart.
