Ryoichiro and Kenichi Yoshida, Musicians

On Philadelphia: "We've been here once before," says Kenichi Yoshida through an interpreter. "2004, September, played in the store at Tower Records. We got cheesesteaks here. We got a cab and went to-what's it called, with the neon sign? We went to the busier one. When we played here, we had plenty of Japanese audience members, which we were surprised about. We really didn't think there were many Japanese here in Philadelphia. American audiences react quickly to the music, so it's easier for us to play. The reaction is different between the Japanese and the American audiences. The Japanese are more quiet. American audiences, they clap hands between the songs. The biggest impression in Japan of Philadelphia, the biggest thing we know, is Rocky. We've seen it. We liked it."
The Yoshida Brothers III was released in March on Domo Records.
