- The Go-Bang's were a three-piece Japanese all-female band active in the late 1980s and early 1990s. They broke up in 1994, and since then, Kaori Moriwaka (singer/songwriter) has become a solo singer/songwriter/producer/actress, while Mitsuko Saito (drums) and Misa Tanishima (bass guitar) have dropped beneath the radar, though apparently Saito has been seen drumming for a few other bands, fashion-modeling and played a drummer as an extra in the music video of J-pop singer Namie Amuro's Please Smile Again. Initially a four-piece band, Go-Bang's lost their guitarist early on, becoming popular after she left the band. At the peak of their career, the album "Greatest Venus" went straight to the top of Oricon's Japanese album chart and stayed there for two consecutive weeks. They had a somewhat unusual sound, being a punk-influenced bubblegum pop band, and lacking a lead guitarist — though this wasn't always the case — on the album Samantha, for example, the Go-Bang's worked with the King Gangs, a three-piece all-male band, who complemented their line up with the addition of electric guitars and keyboard. The album Samantha was mixed down by Michael Haas, who was a recording engineer for British techno/house band 808 State, at Revolution Studios in Manchester, England. Also, the album's title song "Samansa" was reproduced as an English language song and remixed by John Waddel from Rhythm King Productions, who produced British pop singer/rap artist Betty Boo. This remix version of the song was released as one of the songs on their remix mini album "Darrin." Making cheerful, bouncy music, with a slight punk edge, the Go-Bang's made an impact on the Japanese charts for a short while, but gradually faded into the background, and disappeared almost completely from the public conscious following their breakup. However, some bands, such as the Titan Go-Kings, have referred to them as influences on their music. (en)
- GO-BANG'S (ゴーバンズ, Gōbanzu) est un groupe pop-rock féminin japonais actif de 1986 à 1994, dont le nom s'inspire de ceux des groupes féminins américains The Go-Go's et The Bangles. Composé au départ de cinq musiciennes, il signe avec une compagnie major en 1988 en tant que trio, après le départ des deux guitaristes. Il connaît alors un succès passager au Japon, avec notamment l'album Greatest Venus, N°1 des charts oricon en 1990. Le groupe se sépare en 1994, et la chanteuse Kaori Moriwaka continue depuis sa carrière en solo. (fr)

- Le Go-Bang's erano un gruppo femminile pop giapponese, attivo tra la fine degli anni '80 e l'inizio del '90. Formato da tre ragazze, il gruppo si sciolse nel 1994 quando Kaori Moriwaka, la cantante/compositrice, decise di iniziare una carriera solista come cantautrice/produttrice/attrice. Le altre due componenti del gruppo, Mitsuko Saito (batteria) e Misa Tanishima (basso), sono da allora scomparse dalle scene musicali, sebbene la Saito abbia suonato brevemente con qualche altro gruppo, oltre che in un video per una canzone della famosa cantante j-pop Namie Amuro.
