Unfortunately, the above tweet only has a sound-less video of a commercial for this NTV 1979/1980 crime show called "Okore Kyodai!" (Get Mad, Brothers!) which features an older brother who's the chief detective at a police station and a younger brother who's a reporter under the hard thumb of an editor played by veteran singer Akiko Wada(和田アキ子).
Sadly, it's the only visual evidence that I could scrounge up for the show but before I knew that it was even a show, I'd come across its theme song. Naturally titled "Okore Kyodai!", it was whipped by bassist and composer Tsugutoshi Goto(後藤次利)for his unit, Goto Tsugutoshi Band(後藤次利 BAND). There's some down-and-dirty fusion happening here almost to the point where I was not sure if I would place it under the City Pop (a little too gritty?) banner, but I finally relented.
"Okore Kyodai!" was released as a single that year and then it got onto a 1980 Goto album, "Beyond the End Mark" with the group then being called Goto's Team.
