GaGaGa SP (Japanese: ガガガSP, also referred to as GAGAGA or TaTaTa) are a Japanese punk band from Kobe, Japan.
GaGaGa SP's music has reached a large audience in North America due to their songs being used in popular anime such as Sgt. Frog (Japanese: Keroro Gunso) and Naruto. However, probably due to lack of information and the language barrier, the band itself is not widely known outside Japan. In 2020, Jonathan McNamara of The Japan Times listed the compilation Best Album (2007) as one of the 10 Japanese albums worthy of inclusion in Rolling Stones 2020 list of the 500 greatest albums of all time, writing that the songs "Senkou Hanabi” and “Hajimete Kimi to Shabetta” are "anthems of an earnest youth, as applicable in Kansai as they are the world over".[1]
