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. The meaning of the band's name is known only to its members.

History

In June, 1998, Yumi Nakashima (nicknamed Yuu) and Akiko Hamada (nicknamed Akko), both alumnae of the same year at Shoyo High School in Kagoshima of Kyūshū, formed the band composed of girls, which is the forerunner of GO!GO!7188. When the band broke up in 1999, Yu and Akko formed GO!GO!7188 to participate in Teen's Music Festival which Yamaha sponsored immediately. The talent agency; Breast/milia & Yamaha which they are still under contract to recruited them, they missed the grand prize, though. The band's drummer, Turkey, joined GoGo so that the band might sign to the major label; Capitol Music (Toshiba-EMI). They went to Tokyo in February, 2000, and debuted by single; Taiyō on June 28.

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

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

On November 2, 2005, Yu formed band "Chirinuruwowaka" newly. On September 28, Akko released 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 got married and changed her name into "Akiko Noma" from "Akiko Hamada" in music activity.

In 2007, they carried out their first world tour in U.S.A. They transferred to BMG Japan in March.
