Yoshida’s first album “Secret Figure”was released in July 2006 celebrated musical impressionism of the new generation by masterly portraying the delicate sensations roused in everyday life through infinite layers of melodic instruments such as the piano, guitar and violin, mixed with the electronic sounds of electronica.
In April 2008,he proudly completed second album“Little Grace”.
The album is a parade of songs compiled through a dramatic orchestration of live instruments(live drums, piano, guitar, violin, cello, bass, saxophone, clarinets, and even saws.) Yasushi Yoshida has expanded his expression by capturing elements such as “chaos”, “dynamism”, and “festivity” that could not be seen in his previous album. This album that starts in a melancholic mood which gradually turns into an overwhelming feeling of euphoria is an elegant, cinematic, and ever so beautiful storybook of sound without images or words that allows each listener to portray their own scenery in their hearts however they wish.
