For some reason I see a really awesome Studio Ghibli film with these two and Hisaishi. Sadly Ghibli doesn't do any fast pace shamisen-rock type movies.
I remember a time when I could press play and listen to awesome music. Now I have to endure 30 seconds of mind numbing adverts trying to sell me crap I don't need. THANKS YOUTUBE!!!!!
Is it just me or does this remind anyone of something out of the naruto soundtrack, i feel like their musical style is very similar to the composer of the shows music; toshiro masuda...
It actually sounds more like "hi" which in English would sound like "he". It's really just more of a way to keep time. It could also be like a Kai which is used in taiko and karate. I guess you could say Bruce Lee made the Kai famous. It's more or less a scream to help "channel energy". The more you know...
Oh man.... I usually use Firefox for web browsing but it was having an issue so I'm using Google Chrome and holy crap ads on YouTube is awful!!!!!!!!!!! How can people live without ad-block!????
And the style of their performances is called the Tsugaru-jamisen, it is traditional and peculiar way of playing shamisen of Aomori prefecture (the northern place in Japan).
@tntimmy1996 I play Nagauta Shamisen (Yoshida Brothers play Tsugaru Shamisen) and this isn't an instrument you take up lightly. You have to practice every day, tune it every few mins, hold it like you would a flower, and store it extremely well. You need an extremely keen ear too. The form and technique must be precise. It so to speak, changes your life alittle bit. But in the end, I'd say it's the funnest instrument in the world. =D
@MiroMiroSune If this is true, then relating a shamisen to a banjo is an insult to Appalachian culture. The banjo is, or at least, can be, a beautiful instrument. =]
idk but all i keep thinking about when i listen to this is the first couple of wii commercials and then expecting a "wii would like to play" somewhere

荒れてて驚いた。三味線には疎いので口を挟むのもあれだとは思うんだけど、やってみろや聴いてるだけのくせにという反論には賛同しかねるな。聴いているだけってのも侮れないもんだよ。吉田兄弟はまだまだ若いのだし、荒削りな部分はやっぱり多々あるでしょうし、ここからさらに成長して行って欲しいな。若年層や海外に認知してもらうだけじゃなく、戦慄の美しさにも気付いて貰えるように頑張ってほしい。応援してる!

吉田兄弟の三味線はロックだと思うけど、ロックであるがゆえに「緩急」の「緩」の部分が汚い。というか興味なさそう。一本調子に叩いているだけ。

まぁ、つまり言えるのは吉田兄弟は三味線界の革命児ってこと。正直、じょんからとかパンピーが聞いたら2分で飽きるだろうけど、津軽三味線の曲を理解しやすい現代風にアレンジして若い層にも広めたっていう功績は評価すべきでしょ。

@tntimmy1996 I play Nagauta Shamisen (Yoshida Brothers play Tsugaru Shamisen) and this isn't an instrument you take up lightly. You have to practice every day, tune it every few mins, hold it like you would a flower, and store it extremely well. You need an extremely keen ear too. The form and technique must be precise. It so to speak, changes your life alittle bit. But in the end, I'd say it's the funnest instrument in the world. =D
