[citation needed] Yoshino's musical career began when he was a junior in high school, playing in night clubs and the U.S. military base in Yokohama, Japan.

In 1967, at the age of 16, he became a member of The Golden Cups, a pioneering Japanese blues band that released several popular hits.

He also released his own albums American Road and Longway from Home, and worked with many musicians including Paul Jackson,[22] Jennifer Batten,[23] Peter Green and Ray Parker Jr.,[24] Kenichi Hagiwara,[25] and Shuichi Hidano.

He joined the Time is Now jazz and rock crossover concert[26] with the Terumasa Hino Quintet, Hiroshi Kamayatsu, and Takayuki Inoue in 1969.

Yoshino arranged a rock tune with horns and traditional Japanese musical instruments such as the shamisen, shakuhachi, biwa and tsuzumi in 1981.

He formed a crossover musical group called EnTRANS with Takayuki Inoue, Yoshihiro Naruse (Casiopea 3rd), Nobuo Yagi (blues harp) and Shuichi Hidano (Taiko drums).

The movie showed the band's influence on many Japanese rock players,[28] such as Kiyoshiro Imawano, Akiko Yano, Takayuki Inoue, and Ken Yokoyama.

Yoshino reformed Godiego in 2006 with the popular members Yukihide Takekawa, Takami Asano, Steve Fox, and Tommy Snyder.
