Godiego (ゴダイゴ, Godaigo) is a Japanese rock band, consisting of pianist and composer Mickie Yoshino, vocalist Yukihide Takekawa, guitarist Takami Asano, bassist Steve Fox, and drummer Tommy Snyder (all but Snyder were born in Japan, and Fox's mother is Japanese). Over their 35-year career (with hiatuses), Godiego released 25 singles and 55 albums in Japan, with lyrics written variably in Japanese and English by longtime collaborator lyricist Yoko Narahashi.
They are perhaps best known for performing the song "Monkey Magic" for the 1978 television series Saiyūki which was brought over to the United Kingdom as Monkey. This led to several releases through BBC Records, including "Monkey Magic", "Gandhara", and the LP Monkey and several of their records charted in the UK. Godiego are also known for performing the theme song "THE GALAXY EXPRESS 999" for the Galaxy Express 999 film and the soundtrack for the 1977 film House. They were the first rock band to play in the People's Republic of China and Nepal, and inspired the name for the band Monkey Majik (the group's original drummer was British and watched the show as a child). The lead guitarist Takami Asano worked on the soundtrack of the Nintendo DS game Shin Megami Tensei: Devil Survivor. Vocalist Yukihide Takekawa composed the soundtrack for the Super Nintendo RPG Soul Blazer.

Dragons And Demons
by: Godiego(*) What lies in front of me, I don't know
What's waiting in hiding, don't wanna know
Ready to eat me and finish me off
I shudder to think of their eyes that glow
(**) I'm not a chicken, oh no not me
I'm thinking of what's going to happen to me
Should I stay or should I not
But I don't wanna hear
What the answer will be
(***) But in a trick or two, and my super magic
It'll be easy to change them quick
To fight is right, but I'll seem like the devil
Cause that's the best one of all my tricks
(****) Dragons and Demons
And all kinds of monsters (4 times)
Dragons and Demons
And all kinds of monsters (twice)
My heart is beating
Faster and faster
It's a lovely thought
To find them out
But it's the one thing
I can do without

**** repeat
