Sister, written by the popular Vocaloid producer Mikito-P and sung by the vocalist 000, is one of the sadder songs among sister-themed tracks.

The song evokes images of an older sister burdened with caring for her parents and a younger sister freely living her own life.

Youth That Will Never ReturnZa Pīnattsu
This is “Kaeri Kinu Seishun” sung by The Peanuts, the twin duo active in the 1960s and ’70s.
The original song is “Hier encore” by the French singer-songwriter Charles Aznavour, with Japanese lyrics written by lyricist Rei Nakanishi.
It conveys the sisters’ genuine feelings as they decided to retire from the music industry, resulting in a rather heartrending piece that makes you think, “Is this goodbye…?” If you like chanson, it will resonate with you especially strongly.
For the First Time in ForeverMatsu Takako / Kanda Sayaka
For the film Frozen, the insert song “For the First Time in Forever” was performed by Sayaka Kanda and Takako Matsu, who voiced Anna and Elsa.
The song vividly portrays Anna’s joy at gaining freedom and Elsa’s concern for her sister.
Some listeners may relate to the loneliness of watching a beloved sister go far away.
Set to a classical melodic line, it expresses the bright, hopeful heart of a sister setting off on a journey.
Please give this song—filled with deep affection for a dear younger sister—a listen.
Flowers and RainSEEDA
As a song dedicated to his late sister, the realism, weight, and emotional impact of the lyrics are incomparable, yet the mellow, flowing melody is pleasant to listen to and strikes a perfect balance.
Also, the lyrics, with their brilliant word choices, have a charm that makes you want to listen to them over and over again.
Yuugao HillMiyako Harumi
Harumi Miyako, who was active as a beloved enka singer of the Showa pop era.
In 1969, she released “Yūgao no Oka” (Moonflower Hill).
The song portrays a younger sister who quietly tucks away her own feelings of love to support her older sister’s romance.
Her emotional performance, imbued with fragile yet beautiful sentiments, is truly moving.
Many listeners may relate to the lyrics that convey the heartache of a woman after a broken romance.
It’s a love song that can be taken as both putting on a brave face and a declaration of resolve.
Please give this song—overflowing with sisterly affection—a listen.
Beyond the smileYamaguchi Momoe
The title of Momoe Yamaguchi’s final single was “Beyond the Goodbye,” wasn’t it? It was released in August 1980, while “Beyond the Smile” is a track from the album “Harutsugedori,” released in February 1980.
As I recall, Momoe actually has a younger sister named Yoshie, so her sister would still have been quite young at that time.
Perhaps she sang it with thoughts of the future in mind.
Sister TavernKomadori Shimai
It’s a bright, upbeat song that makes you want to clap along, but at the tavern run by the two sisters, people who’ve left their hometowns ease their loneliness by reminiscing about where they’re from and boasting about their home regions.
It feels like a cozy place you can’t help dropping by, with the two sisters surely being such good listeners.
