Biography

(1999 – 2012)

GO!GO!7188 (go go nana ichi hachi hachi), also known as GO!GO! 7188 and simply Gogo, was a band with a strong influence. The band was formed in June of 1998 by Yumi Nakashima (nicknamed Yuu) and Akiko Hamada (nicknamed Akko), both alumnae of the same year at Shoyo High School in Kagoshima, Kyushu. The band’s drummer, Turkey (real name Takayuki Hosokawa), a native of Mitoyo, Shikoku, joined in 1999 and they debuted on Breast/milia, a division of Capitol Records (Toshiba-EMI) in 2000. The meaning of the band’s name is known only to its members. The band announced they were disbanding in 2012.

Yuu composed the music, Akko wrote the lyrics, and the band arranged the songs. Yuu was the main vocalist and guitarist with Akko playing bass guitar and providing backup vocals. In addition to drums, Turkey would sometimes provide a scream or other such vocalization. In the song “Ban Ban Ban” featured on the cover album Tora no Ana, he took up lead vocals.

Members:
* Yuu, (Real name: Yumi Nakashima, born December 1, 1979) Vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter. Released a solo album, Ten no Mikaku as ゆう (Yuu), in 2004. Released the album Iroha with side band, チリヌルヲワカ (Chirinuruwowaka) in 2005.

    I've been listening to them since PARADE came out : ( lot of good memories since that's when I started driving and attending college. Their break up makes me so sad. Keep it alive guys, never stop listening to GO!GO!7188, it's a fucking privilege to be the few who actually know about them.

    Go!!GO!GO!Go!! was may favorite album of 2010. Glad to know they went out on top. It kinda felt like a retrospective album anyways. Don't know where they could have gone from there. I'm also happy to have seen them in 2007. Sad to know one less great band is out there, but we all gotta go some time.

    the saddest thing about it is that I'll never have the chance to see them live, in this formation. let's hope for a reunion in ten years or something, tho :D
