Parade (パレード, Parēdo) is a 2006 album by Japanese rock band GO!GO!7188.[2] Parade featured production by Shigekazu Aida, Akito Katayose of Great 3 and Shinya Okuno of Soul Flower Union.[3] It was the band's first original album to use an English title.[4] In celebration of the 25th anniversary of GO!GO!7188's debut, Parade was released on vinyl for the first time in January 2026. This edition included several bonus tracks, such as the song "Kami-sama no Hima Tsubushi", originally from the Best of GO!GO! compilation album.[5]
The album peaked at number four on the Oricon albums chart.[6] Writing for The Japan Times, Daniel Robson was positive of the album, calling it "an edgy pop record that shines" and noted "nods to Radiohead, Muse and Shiina Ringo."[7] Actress and singer Non cited the track "Ameagari Asphalt Atarashii Kutsu de" as one of the "important songs from [her] teenage years."[8]

- ^ Japan Times Primary approach adds up for GO!GO!7188 "Despite the excitable nature suggested by the punctuation in their name, GO!GO!7188, who formed in 1998, produced their six prior albums with sober attention to detail. Their best records — 2003’s “Tategami,” 2006’s “Parade” and 2007’s “569” — each presented a deliberate weaving of elegant melodies sung in helium pitch by guitarist-vocalist Yuu Nakashima, with intricate guitar lines and intense rhythms that created something unique.

"Parade" echoes back to their earlier albums, offering an edgy pop record that shines. Grounded by creative, heavy rhythms from drummer Turkey, and dirty bass lines from Akiko Hamada, "Parade" carries nods to Radiohead, Muse and Shiina Ringo.
