29 04 2009

Kaori Asada born 16 April 1973 in Kyoto, Japan, known by her stage name, Bonnie Pink , is a Japanese singer / songwriter. She lived in New York during 1998 and speaks English (many of her songs are entirely in English). She writes and composes all her songs, and plays guitar and piano. Kaori Asada has said that the name Bonnie Pink is random and that she thought the words were cute together. There is no special meaning behind the name, she chose it because it was easy to remember.
Bonnie Pink was quite famous in her early years during the 90s and the early 2000s, but she slowly drifted out of popularity. However, in 2006 her hit single “A Perfect Sky” went to the top of the charts and brought her back into the J-Pop spotlight and her latest albums have become very popular and major successes for the 35-year-old singer.

Yoshida Brothers

29 04 2009

The Yoshida Kyōdai are Japanese musicians and have released several albums under the Domo Records internationally as the Yoshida Brothers.
They are a pair of brothers and performers of the traditional Japanese music style of Tsugaru-jamisen which originated in northern Japan. They debuted in 1999 in Japan as a duo playing the shamisen. Their first album sold over 100,000 copies and made them minor celebrities in Japan, a fact that surprised the Yoshida Brothers themselves. They have since attracted an international audience.
Their music has been a fusion of the rapid and percussive Tsugaru-jamisen style along with Western and other regional musical influences. In addition to performing songs that are only on the shamisen, they also use modern instruments such as drums and synthesizers.
