This year brings a very busy summer for Gocoo, who's been performing in various locations in Japan on a rather tight schedule. Perhaps this is no coincidence since Gocoo was selected as one of the 100 most respected Japanese people in the world by Newsweek Japan, in their July 8, 2009 issue.

Below are some photos taken during their performances at the Tsuruoka Hachimangu Shrine during the Bonbori Festival and at the Yuigahama beach in Kamakura. (Click on the thumbnails for larger pictures.)
