This band I spotted while checking out a cd shop in Sapporo. Their new album was released while I was over there, but because I wasn’t totally into it then (and their album was spendy) I didn’t get it. I regret not buying it, and I’m still out there looking on ebay for their albums. They’re the Yoshida Brothers… They’ve made a twist on the old sounds of Japan by turning shamisen music into groovy rock style. It’d be like rocking out on a banjo here in the US.

Anyway.. After seeing their music featured on the Wii Ad I thought I’d give them a shout out on my ole blog:

Take it away~
