[Sisters' Songs] Moving masterpieces that let you reaffirm the bond with your dear sister (41–50)
Beyond the SmileYamaguchi Momoe
This is a song released in 1980 by Momoe Yamaguchi, who is still remembered as a star singer.
It’s filled with warm messages from an older sister to her younger sister, who is about to get married.
The younger sister has somehow become a grown woman, yet to the older sister she’s the same girl she used to fuss over, so she can’t help but worry and say all sorts of things.
The sister in this song almost feels like a mother.
But you can feel how precious her younger sister is to her, and how deeply she wishes for her happiness.

To my kind little sisterIwasaki Hiromi
A poignant and beautiful classic, “To My Gentle Little Sister,” is a song written from an older sister to her younger sister that tugs at the heart when you listen to it.
It’s included on Hiromi Iwasaki’s 1982 album Love Letter.
Hiromi Iwasaki actually has a real-life younger sister—that’s Yoshimi Iwasaki, famous for the hit song “Touch.” Expressing love, trust, and wishes for her sister’s happiness, this song is perfect as a gift to a beloved younger sister.
Why not sing it to mark a new chapter in life?
Dear sisterai
She sings about her feelings for her sister who is getting married—her gratitude and hopes for her future happiness.
The song, by Ai, who was also active as a member of the music unit RSP, was released in 2015.
Its charm lies in the warm vocals, sound, and straightforward lyrics.
With an easy-listening style and melody reminiscent of a children’s song, the message comes through clearly.
There are surely people who admire this kind of sisterly relationship.
How about using it as BGM for a wedding or reception?
Naniwa SistersShimakura Chiyoko, Ishikawa Sayuri
This is the duet song “Naniwa Sisters” by Chiyoko Shimakura, a female enka singer who left behind many famous songs until her passing in 2013, and Sayuri Ishikawa, who admired Shimakura as a senior.
The lyrics depict two sisters living apart from their parents, supporting each other and wishing for one another’s happiness.
The younger sister tries to give up her own happiness for her older sister, and the older sister gently scolds her.
This is the very essence of sisterly love.
If you and your sister are good at singing enka, by all means try it at karaoke.
OH MY SISTERSOULHEAD
This track is by SOULHEAD, a sister duo known for their mature sound that blends R&B and hip-hop elements.
It’s included on their first album, Oh My Sister, released in 2003.
The song celebrates the sisters’ deep, unbreakable bond.
The lyrics are philosophical and profound, which only amplifies the emotion packed into the music.
And the duo’s sweet, interwoven harmonies are irresistible.
It’s also a great pick as BGM for a nighttime drive in the city.
sistersSakamoto Fuyumi
This is a song released in 1993 by enka singer Fuyumi Sakamoto, known for “Mata Kimi ni Koishiteru” and “Yozakura Oshichi.” The song portrays an older sister quietly standing by her younger sister, who has left home after a painful love affair.
The older sister went through a similarly difficult love once and was scolded by her sister at the time, but when the younger sister does the same, she gently gives her a push forward.
She also urges her sister to at least let her know she’s safe.
It’s a song that makes you deeply feel the significance of having an older sister.
Tear GirlGAM
The unit song by Miki Fujimoto—famous for her “Mikiti~” catchphrase—and Aya Matsuura is pretty impressive, isn’t it? Even though they’re idol-like figures, they’re taking on hard rock, which really shows the skill of their producer, Tsunku♂.
The flashy costumes and vocals are spot on, but the lyrics are all about adolescent youth.
You wouldn’t normally associate something like cozy family time with rock, but maybe that gap is exactly what makes it so good.
