GO!GO!7188 (Go Go Nana Ichi Hachi Hachi), also known simply as Gogo, was a Japanese rock band with influences spanning from surf rock to punk rock to enka.

History[edit]

In June 1998,[1] Yumi Nakashima (nicknamed Yuu) and Akiko Hamada (nicknamed Akko), both alumnae of the same year at Shoyo High School in Kagoshima of Kyūshū,[2] formed a band with the goal of participating in a national competition.[3] They had previously played together in a Judy and Mary cover band while in high school along with three other girls from their school.[4] The band broke up when the members graduated; Yuu and Akko wanted to continue but the other members did not.[5] In college, Yuu and Akko formed a new band, along with a boy who played the drums and was the same age as them.[6] In November 1998 they participated in the Yamaha Music Foundation's Teens' Music Festival as GO GO 7188.[7] They didn't win the grand prize but later signed to the talent agency breast/milia.

Drummer Takayuki Hosokawa (nicknamed Turkey) joined GO!GO!7188 in 1999,[8] and the band then signed with major label Capitol Music (Toshiba-EMI). They went to Tokyo in February 2000,[9] and started recording on the same day they arrived.[10] Their first single, "Taiyō," was released a few months later on June 28.[11] GO!GO!7188 starting recording their debut album in September of that year with plans to release it in December.[9] The album, Dasoku Hokō, was released on December 6, 2000, and peaked at number 25 on the Oricon albums chart.[12]

In April 2001, Dotanba de Cancel was released as the first single from GO!GO!7188's follow up album. Reviewers noted the song's sad melody and lyrics, which stood in contrast to their usually upbeat material.[13][14] That summer, the band played at the Rock In Japan Festival on August 5.[15]

GO!GO!7188 released their second album, Gyotaku, on November 21, 2001. Reviewers pointed out the "garage-style"[16] rock, melodies "filled with Taishō era romanticism" and "well-constructed key changes" present in the songs.[17] The album surpassed its predecessor, reaching 17 on the Oricon chart.[18]

On October 13, 2003, Akko released her solo album Kirari under the name of Akiko Hamada.

On March 1, 2004, Yu released her solo album Ten no Mikaku.

On November 2, 2005, Yu formed a new band, Chirinuruwowaka. On September 28, Akko released a major solo album "Aruyoude Naiyoude, Arumono" under the name of Akiko Hamada.

On October 1, 2006, Akiko Hamada announced on her official site that she had gotten married and had changed her name to Akiko Noma.[19] That same month, GO!GO!7188 released their fifth studio album, Parade.[20] The band commented that after pursuing solo activities in the previous year, they had learned that they "did music for fun," which provided the focus for making the album.[21]

In early 2007, GO!GO!7188 transferred to BMG Japan.[22] That March, the band carried out their first tour of the United States as part of the multi-band Japan Nite tour, including performances in New York City, Los Angeles, and at SXSW in Austin, Texas.[23][24][5] Later that year, in August, GO!GO!7188 returned to the United States for a second tour, playing at Musikfest in Bethel, Pennsylvania, as well as concerts in New York City and Chicago.[25][26][27]

On October 24, 2007, GO!GO!7188 released their sixth album and first on BMG Japan, 569 (pronounced Go Rock).[28] Four days before the album was available in stores, the band made all of the tracks available on their MySpace page.[29]

In 2010, they transferred to FlyingStar Records (Victor Entertainment).[30]

On February 10, 2012, the band announced on their website that they were disbanding.[31][32]
