Named 「SHINPU -神風-」 bring a new twist to popular anime, J-pop, and movie themes by covering them with traditional Japanese instruments and a beat box infusion. They are made up of the members Misugu Oshima, who plays both taiko drums and shinobue (a high-pitched transverse flute, similar to the shakuhachi), and Kazunari Yamamoto (AKA MC ZU-nA), a national finalist and award-winning beat boxer.
Those that dig their stylish and unique covers will be happy to hear that their YouTube channel features a new song every week (on Tuesdays in Japan), so be sure to check in to get your fix!
