Lead drummer, Kaoly Asano (浅野香), attracts much attention as a female Taiko artist.

Since then, Gocoo's frequent live performances at Tokyo's cult locations, such as Aoyama CAY and Shibuya On Air, are packed with a young audience who usually tend to shy away from traditional music.

Gocoo performed with several highly achieved artists such as Korea's Kim Duk-soo of SamulNori, West-Africa's djembe player Mamady Keita, and Seiichi Tanaka of the San Francisco Taiko Dojo.

At the beginning of 2002, Gocoo joined Juno Reactor (UK) for a recording session which resulted that same fall in the release of the maxi single Hotaka.

While being on tour, Gocoo went to a recording studio in Hamburg (Germany) to contribute to the soundtrack of the third sequel of the role-play computer game Gothic 3.

In its edition of July 8, 2009, Newsweek Japan included Gocoo in its top 100 list of Japanese people who "overcame cultural barriers and shine in the world" as "their borderless sound, a mix of rock and ethnic music from around the world, is cherished by international audiences".

As part of their 'Mighty Beats Tour' 2015, GOCOO performed as the only artist two concerts at the Paleo Festival Nyon (Switzerland).
