Hello all. I was wondering if someone could help me. In february I was in Okinawa and saw on the television an awesome bunch of musicians play in the television studio. The show seemed like a news show similar to “Today” or “Good morning America”. The band played rock music on traditional Japanese instruments including Shamisen and Taiko. It may have been Yoshida Bros but I don’t think it was them. It was very similar though. Can anyone help me find out who it was? Thanks!
I also don’t think it was Kuni Ken. It was more of a band I believe.
sorry I can’t help I wish I had japanese tv here but welcome to the forum . . .
Thanks for the welcome. I know i’m grasping at straws here but I really dug that band!
Could it have been Wasabi, Ryoichiro Yoshida’s new side project?

You can hear some of it here:
Welcome to Bachido, Tommy!
I have no idea as well, but Gerry might be on to something. They’ve got a cool band symbol thing!
anyway thanks for the link that’s one good sounding side project 
Don’t think it was Wasabi (two shamisen) either. Hey, the likelihood of me ever finding out who it was was a long shot from the beginning. But at least i’ve discovered a few cool groups in the process right? thanks for the suggestions. keep 'em coming if you get any ideas. Thanks again.
