Formed in 1999 at Toyota City Japan by Yoshiki Nagayama (Vocal),Hiroshi Tsuzuki(Tabla) and Ko Yamaguchi (Drums).
Currently the line up is a 14 piece orchestra including Talow The Tornado on percussion and Koichiro on matouqin from the established Japanese hardcore band "Nice View", and George Bodman, former member of the Japanese cutting edge post rock/emo band "bluebeard" and "Naht" on guitar. Other instruments played in the orchestra include Japanese taiko drum, jambe, tabla, Japanese bamboo flute, saxophone, upright bass, sitar etc.
Turtle Island fuses traditional Japanese carnival beats with other musical elements including distorted guitar, Indian music, and Korean traditional music, all held together with a punk rock background.
Main vocalist Yoshiki is a charismatic poet creating a unique world with his lyrics, and is often referred to as the Japanese Joe Strummer or Manu Chao. With his passionate messages, Turle Island has gained great recognition amongst underground as well as mainstream music lovers.
Turtle Island has performed with international artists such as Fermin Muguruza and Esne Beltza from Basque country, and received great admiration from artists such as PREFUSE73 and David Byrne from Talking Heads. David Byrne selected 3 songs from TURTLE ISLAND for his web radio after his visit to Japan.
