The Masters of Modern Tsugaru Shamisen
Formed by brothers Ryoichiro Yoshida and Kenichi Yoshida, who were born in Noboribetsu, Hokkaido, the duo began intensive training in the Tsugaru shamisen tradition at a very young age. Under the guidance of master Takashi Sasaki and other traditional instructors, both brothers mastered the complex and highly rhythmic techniques of the three-stringed acoustic instrument native to Aomori Prefecture. Rather than staying within classical boundaries, Ryoichiro and Kenichi revolutionized the genre in the late 1990s. They introduced western rhythm sections, acoustic guitars, and contemporary production values.
The Yoshida Brothers had a hit with their first album, which was also called Yoshida Brothers. It did well in Japan selling over 100,000 copies. This was a deal for an album that just had instrumental music. After that people around the world started to notice them. They got featured in ads, video games. They even worked with other musicians like Monkey Majik.
Ryoichiro plays the rhythm part well it sounds solid and strong. Kenichi plays the part his solos are fast and smooth. When they play together it is like they are having a conversation with their instruments. This makes their live shows really special. When you listen to the Yoshida Brothers live you can really appreciate how they take Japanese music and make it new again. The Yoshida Brothers play all kinds of songs like STORM and RISING which’re fast and energetic. They also play more classical songs. They show that you can make a lot of sounds with traditional instruments, like the shamisen, which has skin and silk strings and is played with a special pick called a bachi.
