The Yoshida Brothers are siblings from Hokkaido, Japan, who play traditional Japanese string instruments. They studied the shamisen and the larger tsugaru shamisen, instruments with a distinctive sound that forms the core of their music.
Their debut album "Indigo" came out in 2004. They've released other albums like "Prism," "Horizon," and "Hope." Their music has been used in films and television shows.
In 2010, they were involved in a nationalist musical project that drew criticism. They later apologized for their participation, saying they didn't endorse the project's political views.
