Go!Go!Vanillas (stylized as go!go!vanillas), a compelling presence in Japan's rock scene, fuse the retro grooves of classic rock with a modern J-pop flair, resulting in a sound that's both nostalgically familiar and refreshingly new. Formed in 2009, the band's lineup consists of Keisuke Pretty Higuchi (vocals/guitar), Jet Seiya Yamauchi (guitar/vocals), Hama Okamoto (bass/vocals), and Taku Yashiro (drums), each bringing a distinctive flair that adds to the group's energetic performances and catchy melodies.

The band's musical journey is marked by a vibrant discography that showcases their evolution and versatility. Their recent releases, including tracks like "DREAMS" in multiple variants, "HIGHER", and the introspective "FLOWERS", cement their ability to create music that resonates with a wide audience. Notable collaborations, such as "Two of Us" featuring Momoko Hayashi, highlight their openness to different influences and sounds. The remixes of "Aoino" and "Uma no Hone" reveal their songs' adaptability and enduring appeal, while live recordings such as "HIGHER (Live at Nippon Budokan 2022.9.30)" demonstrate their prowess as a live act capable of captivating large audiences with their dynamic stage presence. Go!Go!Vanillas continue to charm listeners with their unique blend of vintage soundscapes and contemporary pop-rock sensibilities.
