Antenna (アンテナ, Antenna) is the seventh studio album by Japanese rock band GO!GO!7188. The limited release first press also included a DVD featuring the music video for the single "Futashika Tashika" and footage from their Omatase Tour in 2008.[1] Japanese singer, model and actress Non, who played in a GO!GO!7188 cover band in middle school, stated that the album was the first CD she ever bought.[2] The album also contained the single "Kataomoi Fighter" which was used as the ending theme of the anime adaption of Itazura na Kiss in 2008.[3]
Reception for Antenna was mixed. In their review for Rockin'On Japan, Toshiaki Endo labeled the album as "a masterpiece" and highlighted the variety present in the music and lyrics.[4] AllMusic's review was less positive, with Alexey Eremenko stating that while the record wasn't completely lacking in enjoyment, "it still feels like Antenna could have been left on the recording studio floor, because records by Green Day, Fall Out Boy, and Spitz have all the riffs and melodies found on this album, anyway."[5] Writing for The Japan Times, Daniel Robson received the album less positively compared to the band's previous works, explaining: "Their new album, 'Antenna,' is a more straightforward affair. Tempos and styles still turn on a dime, but it’s not as rhythmically diverse, not as instantly immersive. It’s more . . . normal."[6]
