This guitar is visible in the center of the photo. He used marauder in the early years of his band. Also featured on the cover of their first album, Houkai Amplifier. He used this guitar in a live show in 2013 at Yokohama Stadium.

Gotoh Masafumi highlights the Boss JB-2 Angry Driver as an exceptional distortion pedal on his Instagram, noting its versatility in combining both JHS and Blues Driver effects.

At 12:25 in this Behind The Scenes video of Asian Kung Fu Generation, you can see that Gotoh Masafumi uses an Ibanez TS9 tube screamer on his board. The footage in this video is from the year 2006, and this was likely during the period of time that AKFG was recording their album "Fanclub".

While the video provided is low quality, the colour and shape of the Ibanez TS9 is unmistakable.

Gotoh Masafumi has been using the Fender '65 Twin Reverb amplifier since the release of the third album, "Fanclub," primarily for his clean guitar tones. He often pairs it with a boost or overdrive pedal, such as the Superman FX Atlas III, to add a bit more crunch. This setup can be heard in performances of hits like "Solanin," "Ima Wo Ikite," and "Korogaru Iwa, Kimi ni Asa ga Furu." On Instagram, a post dated April 9, 2019, provides a glimpse of this amplifier in use.

Generally used alongside the Twin Reverb for his clean sound, the amp also provides a tremelo effect, as well as reverb which Goto uses at a low point for the "bounce" in his sound (around 1 to 2 in gauge)

In an Instagram post by gotch_akg, Gotoh Masafumi of Asian Kung-Fu Generation is seen with a 2010 Gibson Les Paul Junior Special in Heritage Cherry, identifiable by its modified pickup, positioned to the left of his Marauder guitar.

Power supply purchased yesterday. As expected it feels like strymon. I have not sold it yet in Japan. It corresponds to 100-240V.

Hidden at the back of Goto's rig during Ajikan's performances, Goto has been seen using this amp live since Magic Disk (potentially earlier but to be checked). The Supersonic is used primarily as his distortion amp, operated by a custom footswitch for songs such as Easter and Rewrite. He might use additional drive provided by an overdrive pedal for solos or heavier tracks.

At 4:52 in the above video, Gotoh exchanges his Les Paul Special Doublecut for this guitar, at Fuji Rock Festival 2010.

He usually uses it for 'Maigo Inu to Ame no Beat/A Lost Dog and the Beats of the Rain' and other songs from the Magic Disk and World World World, and still uses the guitar for recent shows when playing the song.
