I posted a video of theirs on tumblr and I'm gonna post one here as well since I love them that much.
Kodo by Yoshida Brothers
If you remember the commercials that aired for the Wii then you'll most definitely remember that catchy song that backed those two Asian guys as they traveled the US in their little car, knocking on people's door to show them the awesomeness of the Wii. Kodo (Inside the Sun Remix) was that song, and the above video is the original version.
Yoshida Brothers is made up of two shamisen-playing brothers, Ryoichiro and Kenichi. Not only do they play the Tsugaru-jamisen genre of the shamisen, their music is also a fusion of traditional (the shamisen of course) and modern sounds (synthesizers, electric guitar, etc). Check out Rising for a good example of this. Honestly, watching them strum their instruments makes me feel such a burst of energy build inside of me. I feel exhilarated and happy and ahhhhh I love them.
They are amazing, give them a listen if you have yet to do so. ♥
