Go!Go!7188 is a rock band from Japan. It's not J-Rock persay because they don't fall under the "visual kei" catagory. I have Toranoana (thier cover CD), Tategami, Ruriiro (single) and thier live cd, and I also got the DVD that came with it if you got the limited edition!

This band is really great, does anyone else know of them?

I've been listening to them for years. "Jet Ninjin" was one of the most exciting Japanese singles I ever heard - much looser and freer than what the better-known groups do. They are obviously big rock'n'roll fans. I wouldn't consider them "rock" or "jrock" at all - they aren't into heavy sounds. They are more of a guitar-pop band on the order of Cub or Go Sailor.

Their early and live videos are a real treat. They move better than any other Japanese group. I like Puffy but Go! Go! 7188 make them look like posers.

yeah, i like go!go!7188. not only do they have a great name, their music is excellent as well. Gyotaku is one of the best albums ever; all the songs are just incredible- very raw and edgy.
