go!go!vanillas is a four-piece band consisting of Tatsuya Maki (vo/g), Shintaro Yanagisawa (g), Keisuke “Pretty” Hasegawa (ba), and Jett Seiya (dr). The foundation of their crossover sounds stretches the possibilities of a rock ‘n’ roll band as they blend elements from garage rock and hardcore, ska, and funk, R&B, etc., while there lies an unwavering respect and curiosity for roots music, which defines their identity.
In addition, through consistent touring and powerful live performances, they have steadily grown their fan base. The nationwide tour “DREAMS TOUR 2023-2024” from 2023 to 2024, which has culminated in their largest shows yet, held two successful days at Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Halls 9–11. In January 2024, go!go!vanillas signed with IRORI Records, a label under Pony Canyon. Their first single after the move, “SHAKE,” marked a new chapter for the band with their first overseas recording. Produced at a prestigious recording studio in London, the track breaks a fresh new ground for the band.
