Dasoku Hokō


Dasoku Hokō is the debut album by GO!GO!7188, released in 2000. The band has stated that the title, literally translated as "useless walking," has no meaning behind it. The album cover features a dekotora.
In 2023, Japanese rock band Shishamo covered the album's third single, "Koi no Uta", on the NHK program . The single was covered again, in 2024, by Sumire Uesaka, as the ending theme of the tenth episode of the anime adaptation of Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings in Russian. "Koi no Uta" was certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Japan in 2019.
The album was reissued in 2012 as part of EMI Music Japan's EMI Rocks The First series. To celebrate the 25th anniversary of GO!GO!7188's debut, the album was released on vinyl for the first time on September 24, 2025. This edition included not only the original tracklist but also songs from its associated singles as bonus tracks.
