Early life

[edit]

Born in Hakodate, Hokkaido. He started playing the violin at the age of three and became familiar with rock and roll music such as Elvis Presley and Ricky Nelson when he was in elementary school. After graduating from La Salle Gakuen in Hakodate, he traveled around the west coast of the United States for 10 months, and then returned to Japan to enter university.

In 1970, he moved to Tokyo when he entered university and joined a music club. He fell in love with British rock and formed the band "WISH" with his fellow students. He performed at discos in Akasaka and other venues. His guitar work, which exceeded the level of student bands, caught the attention of Kazuhiko Kato, and he was invited by Hiro Tsunoda to enter the professional world.

Regarding the theme song for the 1979 film We Are Angels, "Otokotachi no Melody," Yoshino said, "I sang it carelessly. But it was well received. As soon as it became a big hit, I fell in love with it."

In 1985, he married actress Eri Ishida (divorced in 1990).[1]
