Nerima Daikon Brothers (おろしたてミュージカル 練馬大根ブラザーズ, Oroshitate Myūjikaru Nerima Daikon Burazāzu?, lit. Dress-up Musical Nerima Daikon Brothers) is a manga and 12 episode comedy anime series that follows the adventures of two brothers (and their cousin) Hideki, Ichiro, and Mako who form the band, "Nerima Daikon Brothers."
The show uses a musical comedy format, with the characters often breaking out in song to show their emotions or go through a montage scene. The melodies of the songs are sometimes recycled episode after episode with different lyrics substituted for the particular situation. The musical comedy format is rare in Japanese animation and the show's style is influenced by musicals such as The Blues Brothers and Bollywood musicals such as Muthu.
The show was originally licensed by ADV for $124,800 and the first volume was released on DVD in December 2006. In 2008, the show became one of the ADV titles transferred to Funimation Entertainment.

Famous quotes containing the word brothers:
“Men and women are brothers and sisters; they are not of different species; and what need be obtained to know both, but to allow for different modes of education, for situation and constitution, or perhaps I should rather say, for habits, whether good or bad.”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
