(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.
* Akko, (Real name: Akiko Noma, born February 13, 1980) Bassist, backup vocalist, and lyricist. Released a solo album, Kirari, under her maiden name, 浜田亜紀子 (Akiko Hamada) in 2003. Second solo album, Aru yo de nai yo de, aru mono, was released on November 2, 2005.
* Turkey, (Real name: Takayuki Hosokawa, born July 10, 1973) Drummer, additional vocals.

    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

    kokezaru: wait. did yuu release a new solo album or did you mean chiriwaka's latest release? kitkat: you might check out their last studio album, "GO!!GO!GO!GO!!". but I didn't bother much for their releases after 569. antenna is their weakest album to date and GOx4 might have picked up where Tategami left off but I never really listened to the album much because it was all over the place. to me it sounded they tried way too hard to get "back to the roots". however it was nice seeing "ballad" on a proper album, finally! and "rakuen no ohanashi" sounded more like a yuu solo song, which was also good.
