everything made with happiness is better, like the old football players

[@SunnyRacc]

I mean it just produces such a nice sound

[@DeezNutz-yg8io]

Got to see them live once and one thing that shows up is both happiness and that there is very much a sibling rivalry. They are happily pushing each other along the path of shamisen and challenging, by example, the other to play even better. Each has subtle strong and weak points and they are acutely aware of it.

[@sailordave1000]

Came here because of the anime “Those Snow White Notes”. These guys do the music for the anime.

[@rishikeshgkulkarni2949]

The music in the anime is actually done by these guys in this video?
Can't for the next episode of the anime.

[@Unknown-hl5tk]

So that's the reason why the music sounds familiar lol

[@daggercatz7297]

Oh that explains a lot. I always felt like the anime sounds so similar to the way the Yoshida Brothers plays.
Edit: I even compared it next to each other and felt that way

[@QuarioQuario54321]

And not “Wii would like to play”?

[@loring638]

You can hear the love for playing they have in every "Hey!" and see it in every smile. They clearly dedicated a lot of time to be that good, and you can really hear the pride and excitement in every note.

[@Kasumi8779]

I like it when they shout "HEI!".
