僕が５歳の時に あなたは２１だった
近所で遊んでくれる むじゃきなお兄ちゃん
飴ちょうだいお兄ちゃん 遊ぼうよお兄ちゃん
あなたの大切な宝物 ギターを触らしてくれた
一人っ子の僕とっては 憧れのお兄さんのようだ
ボール遊びが好きな僕と 小石でキャッチボールしたな
かっこいい僕の青い自転車の コロなしを手伝ってくれた
駆けっこや近所の探検も あなたは友達だった
小学生になった あたりから あなたは大人の世界で遠くに
たまに見かけることはあっても なんとなく恥ずかしかった
淡い思い出が あの時の幼さが
僕のあどけなさと あなたの優しさが
淡い思い出が あの時の温かさが
僕のおさなさと あなたの笑顔が
近所のお兄ちゃん
それから歳月が経ち 近所で偶然遭った
僕が２０歳になって あなたは３６歳
時を超えて LINEを教えて お酒を飲む約束をした
なんか不思議だな ワクワクあのころようだ
あなたはあの時遊んだ あの時の写真を見せくれた
昔のイメージのままのだな 今との差を二人で笑う
今でも変わらない あの時の優しさが
僕も大人になった あなたと同じになった
今でも変わらない あの時の温かさが
僕も大人になった 二人ではしゃいでる
あの時と同じだな
あなたとこの歌を 二人で奏でるなんて
楽しいな 時を超えた音楽だ
僕ら友達だ

My Neighbor Brother
MUSIC OSAMU
MUSIC Osamu's song "My Neighbor Brother" has been released. This heartwarming and nostalgic track reflects memories of a kind older boy from the neighborhood, whom Osamu admired during his childhood. The song captures the days when they played together and shared special moments, and conveys the bittersweet feeling of how relationships change over time-how distance and a bit of embarrassment might form, yet those memories remain in a special corner of their hearts.
The song unfolds with the story of the two meeting again as adults after many years, reminiscing about the past and rebuilding their connection. Though time has passed, their bond, though somewhat distant and nostalgic, still exists. The scene where they share drinks and reflect on their childhood shows both the warmth of their friendship and the passage of time.
"My Neighbor Brother" beautifully expresses the evolution of relationships, from the carefree days of childhood to the subtle shifts that come with adulthood. It captures the bittersweetness of drifting apart, feeling embarrassed, yet cherishing the memories that linger. The song resonates deeply with many, complemented by a melody that adds to its emotional impact.
In a live broadcast, MUSIC Osamu revealed that the "neighbor brother" in the song was inspired by a real person in his life-someone he admired as a child but who was not his real brother. At 36, Osamu met this person again, who was now 21, and spontaneously created this song as a gift during their reunion.
The music video for "My Neighbor Brother" is available on YouTube, featuring a charming hand-drawn flipbook animation created by MUSIC Osamu himself. Though simple in style, the animation adds warmth and depth to the song, making it a unique and touching visual experience. Be sure to check it out!
