Collaboration: Godiego

Godiego is a popular band from Japan, consisting of Mickie Yoshino, Asano Takami, Steve Fox, Takekawa Yukihide, and Tommy Snyder. They have released over 25 records. The group enjoyed brief success in the UK through their work on the popular Japanese television program Monkey (made by NTV in the late 1970s and dubbed over in English by various British actors in the 1980s). The band's disco based soundtrack soon won over a cult following, earning Godiego chart success with the single Monkey Magic, the group's largely popular title theme, the LP Monkey and the single Gandhara.

Though most of their hit songs include lyrics translated from Japanese, almost all of the lyrics were originally written in English.

Apart from their association with Monkey, Godiego soon faded in the UK, but continued to release many successful albums in their homeland of Japan before announcing a split-up in 1984.

Godiego also performed some songs for the Galaxy Express 999 anime series, most notably the eponymous ending song of the 1979 film version.

Godiego reunited in 1999, and has continued touring.

An Orange Range cover version of Monkey Magic was featured in the 2007 INiS rhythm video game, Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2. They also inspired the Canadian-Japanese band Monkey Majik in name and performances.
