(Japan)
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). Their crossover sound pushes the boundaries of a rock ‘n’ roll band, blending elements of garage rock, hardcore, ska, funk, and R&B while maintaining a deep respect and curiosity for roots music that defines their identity. Through consistent touring and powerful live performances, they have steadily grown their fan base, culminating in their largest shows yet during the nationwide “DREAMS TOUR 2023-2024,” which included two successful days at Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Halls 9–11. In January 2024, the band signed with IRORI Records, a label under Pony Canyon, and released their first single after the move, “SHAKE.” Recorded at a prestigious studio in London, the track marks a fresh new chapter for go!go!vanillas, expanding their musical horizons with their first overseas recording.
