Initially a four-piece band, Go Bang's lost their guitarist early on, becoming popular after she left the band. They had a somewhat unusual sound, being a punk-influenced bubblegum pop band, and lacking a lead guitarist — though this wasn't always the case — on the album Samantha, for example, the Go Bang's worked with the King Gang's, a three-piece all-male band, who complemented their line up with the addition of electric guitars and keyboard.
Making cheerful, bouncy music, with a slight punk edge, the Go Bang's made an impact on the Japanese charts for a short while, but gradually faded into the background, and disappeared almost completely from the public conscious following their breakup. However, some bands, such as the Titan Go-Kings, have referred to them as influences on their music.

雪の降る朝 私は生まれてきたの
窓の外
リルドン・リルド ン・リルドン
白い屋根 私をずっと見ていた
少女になって 初めて 知った恋は
街灯の下 あなたが迎えに来たわ
ときめきは
白いイヴ あかりがきらきら光った
メリメリメりメリークリマス
メリークリスマス
メリークリスマス
遠い空から舞いおりる
メリメリメりメリークリマス
メリークリスマス
メリークリスマス
雪の中で手をつないだ
いつか私の心に雪が降った
少女の恋は静かに凍りついて
窓の外
リルドン・リルドン・リルドン
さよならは 白い冬の想い出
メリメリメりメリークリマス
メリークリスマス

今夜はひとりきりのクリスマス

The lyrics of "雪の降らないMerry X'mas" by GO-BANG'S depict a bittersweet story of love and memories during Christmas time. The song begins by expressing a gentle embrace in the colors of winter. The singer reflects on the morning they were born, symbolized by the falling snow outside the window, as it watches over them and sets the scene.
As the lyrics continue, the singer describes their first experience of love as a young girl. Underneath the streetlights, the person they loved appeared to come and greet them, creating a feeling of excitement and anticipation. This is represented by the repetitive line "リルドン・リルドン・リルドン," which adds a catchy and memorable element to the song.
The chorus emphasizes the festive atmosphere of a white Christmas. The twinkling lights and the magic of the snowfall are captured in the repetition of the phrase "メリメリメりメリークリマス" (Merry Christmas). It evokes a sense of joy and celebration that is associated with this time of year. The lyrics suggest that in the midst of the snow, the singer and their loved one hold hands, symbolizing a special bond formed in this enchanting moment.
However, as the song progresses, the tone shifts. The lyrics reveal that at some point, the snow also fell in the singer's heart, freezing their innocent love. The snow outside the window becomes a poignant memory of a farewell and the end of a winter romance. This melancholic turn highlights the transient nature of love and the passing of time.
The final repetition of "メリメリメりメリークリマス" reflects a lonely Christmas night for the singer. The memories of their past love melt away with the passing time, leaving behind only the feeling of loss and a non-snowy Christmas in this town. The song ends on a melancholic note, emphasizing the contrast between the joyful spirit of Christmas and the singer's sense of longing and nostalgia.
