Both focus on music, and prodigal music performers. They also share some genres in common, like some romance, some comedy, some drama, some concurs (music contests) and great classical music.

If you liked Uchuu Kyoudai add

...then you might like Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso add

Mutta is a down on his luck guy that has lost touch with his childhood ambition: to be an astronaut. Arima is a guy who hasn't quite given up piano, but is stuck in his past. Both make a plethora of excuses, and are unable to move forward in life. But, people appear who pull them along into their past dreams, and they begin to change in positive ways. For Mutta, it's his little brother Hibito. For Arima, it's Miyazono.

If you liked Hajime no Ippo add

...then you might like Ballroom e Youkoso add

Ballroom e Yookoso and Hajime no Ippo start off with a similar premise. They are both the bullied kid, and get saved by a professional sportsman (in Ippo, boxing, in Ballroom, it's a ballroom dancer). They both watch videos of said professional and want to be a pro themselves. The professional then assigns them an impossible task for beginners, and waits for them to fail... Only to be pleasantly surprised when show guts and determination and succeed. While I've seen most of the Ippo anime, I have only started reading Ballroom E Yookoso so I can't guarantee they will be similar in the end. But the characters are both really similar and they've got some fantastic, dynamic art.

If you liked Kingdom add

...then you might like Nobunaga Concerto add

Kingdom and Nobunaga Concerto both follow the path of outstanding individuals who made history and ruled "under heaven." In Kingdom, Zheng will later become Shi Huangdi, ruler of China, and in Nobunaga Concerto (if you haven't guessed already), it follows Oda Nobunaga, who united Japan. Zheng and Saburou (Nobunaga's fill in) also share great thinking together, even though most times Saburou looks like a fool, while Zheng is often just a figure head (much to his distaste). The biggest difference, I would say, is the time traveling aspect in Nobunaga Concerto. Other than that, Kingdom is focused more on the violence and the actual wars, while so far Nobunaga Concerto has only skimmed over them. Both feature some great character development though.

If you liked Yama no Susume add

...then you might like Hanayamata add

Both involve a similar, soft mood, and revolve around cute girls doing cute things. In Hanayamata, it's yosakoi dancing. In Yama no Susume, it's mountaineering. The two main leads are also similar, and their way of involving the other in their particular passion; the bold and outspoken girl interacts with the shy, introverted one and drags them along into their favorite activity.
