go!go!vanillas has pre-released “Persona” from their new album “Lab.” to be released on November 6th, and released a teaser video for the music video. This song was written as the opening theme for the drama “Qros no Onna: Madness Named Scoop” starring Kenta Kiritani. The story is a mix of mystery and suspense, involving not only the entertainment world and the weekly magazine industry, but also the general public, surrounding the identity of the hot beauty in the commercial.
The opening theme, “Persona,” is a rock tune with a dark atmosphere. The lyrics express the desire to “become HOPE, which transforms “tragedy” into “comedy” in an era of chaos in which no one can survive without wearing a persona,” and the lyrics are appealing because they strike deep into the listeners. It’s one song.
A teaser video was released prior to the release of the main music video. From the beginning with an impact of Vo. Maki being grabbed by the chest, the video shows Maki running to the sound of the bass. Let’s look forward to the fast-paced music video and wait for the release date.
go!go!vanillas will release their new album “Lab.” on November 6th. To commemorate this, a free live performance called “Tokyo Lab. Story” will be held at Ryogoku Kokugikan on November 10th. A 360° performance is planned on the center stage of Ryogoku Kokugikan, and the closest area, 7-Eleven seats, reached the scheduled number of seats in just 3 minutes from the start of reservations. All that remains is to apply by pre-purchasing the album “Lab.” with a serial code available only at participating stores. For more information, please check out the special website for “Lab.” and apply. Don’t miss this unprecedented free live performance.
With their new album “Lab.”, it has also been decided that they will hold the band’s largest ever “go!go!vanillas Lab. TOUR 2024-2025” which will span 21 performances at 16 venues nationwide. This tour will be a nationwide tour that will mix two types of tours: the arena version to be held next year, and the live house and hall version, which have already been announced. As for tickets, the planned number of tickets for the arena edition has already sold out for Nippon Budokan on both days and Osaka Castle Hall, and the live house & hall edition is currently accepting play guide lottery tickets. Please take this opportunity to check it out.

Music Video Teaser
Drama Premiere 23 “The Woman of Qros: The Madness Called Scoop”
Infidelity by famous celebrities, drug use by artists, harassment issues at agencies, and stories from weekly magazines that are being mass-produced. A talented reporter, Koji Kuriyama (Kenta Kiritani), works with editor-in-chief Hayashida (Takashi Okabe), who believes in “news that the public wants” and “news that sticks,” and his junior colleague Keita Yaguchi, who has doubts about the entertainment scoop itself. Together with (Takuya Kageyama) and others, he spends his days chasing scandalous and shocking scoops and working hard to uncover the truth. Meanwhile, an unidentified woman appearing in a commercial for the fast fashion brand “Qros” has become a hot topic. And then, a battle begins between entertainment reporters to get the scoop and uncover the true identity as soon as possible! The more the public’s interest escalates, the more the life of the “Woman of Qros” falls apart… But was it all a set up!? In order to find out the black mask that was also manipulating the reporters, and to help the “woman of Qros”, Kuriyama will face the darkness of the entertainment world.

profile
A 4-piece band consisting of Tatsuya Maki (vo/g), Shintaro Yanagisawa (g), Keisuke Hasegawa Pretty (ba), and Jetseya (dr). From garage rock and hardcore to ska, funk, R&B, etc., go!go!vanillas’ crossover sound, which pushes the boundaries of rock’n’roll bands, is rooted in an unwavering respect for roots music and a spirit of exploration. and that is their identity. They have also expanded their fan base through constant touring and powerful live performances. During the nationwide tour “DREAMS TOUR 2023-2024″ held from 2023 to 2024, they successfully held a 2-day performance at the largest venue ever, Makuhari Messe International Exhibition Center Halls 9-11. Transferred to Pony Canyon label IRORI Records in January 2024. “SHAKE”, the first single after the transfer, marks the band’s first overseas recording. The song was produced at London’s prestigious recording studio and breaks new ground.
