comment
In Japanese, "Go" (五) means "five", but many Japanese are also aware that it means "move forward" or "take action" in English, When the word is mixed into Gratuitous English, or included as Gratuitous Japanese, it becomes a pun, having both meanings at once.
This could apply to titles, names, dialog, and many things related to a Five-Man Band.
Perhaps in pure Japanese, the pun is there, but someone who knows Japanese would have to explain how the pun is there in any such examples.
Popular in both Manga, Anime, and Animesque shows.
A Sub-Trope of Goroawase Number.
Seven Is Nana is a Sister Trope.

The fourth Tamagotchi series is called GO-GO Tamagotchi!, a pun on the fact that the show celebrates the fifth anniversary of the Tamagotchi anime. Also, the fifth series in general is called Tamagotchi! Tamatomo Daishuu-GO!.

The Inai Inai Baa! song "Kanpa~i!" has a line that goes "One, two, Wanwan!" before the second chorus. The English word "One" is pronnounced in a similar manner to the name of one of the characters, Wanwan.
The song "Asobou! Asobou!" has Rina sing the line "One, two, three, four, go-go!".

Hi-5 introduced itself to America by providing a high-energy song about the five senses right off the bat as the first song of the week. For bonus points, the lyrics until counting from one to five and from five to one several times. The double meaning even shows up in the beginning of the chorus.

In one episode of Twin Princess of Wonder Planet, Bumo, Evil Counterpart to Pumo, disguises himself as the latter and tries to lead the main characters into a trap by explaining that the answer their Crystal Fortulette gave (6) meant to go to the Thorn (Ibara) Mansion, since one (ichi) and five (go) add up to six.

The original title for Speed Racer is Mach Go Go Go after the car, which is called the "Mach Go". So calling it the "Mach 5" in the dub just made sense. Since the word meaning "number" can be pronounced "go" as well, an accurate translation of the original title would be "Mach #5, Go!" - all 3 "go"s have different meanings.
It helps that Speed's original Japanese name was "Go".
For those who care, "go" doesn't exactly mean "number," though it frequently can be used as such—it's a suffix attached to the name of a vehicle, which frequently do involve numbers but don't have to. E.g. Tetsujin Nijuhachi-go is literally "Iron Man #28", but Captain Harlock's ship, the Arcadia, is also referred to as "Arcadia-go" in Japanese.
For those of us who are even more pedantic, the "Arcadia-go" example above is actually a fourth way of using the word. The word "go" (written 号) does means "number", but in the sense of a numerical label (e.g. any place where you'd use the # sign to mean "number"), not in the sense of a quantity (in which case you'd use "suu"/数 instead).

Tokumei Sentai Go-Busters is an odd example, as despite having "Go" in its name it features a Power Trio rather than a full Five-Man Band(though they do get fourth and fifth members later). At the same time, it references the trope practically by name in the opening lyrics... even though 2 and 3 are switched around.

Opening 15 of the anime, "We Go!", has the refrain "Ichi, ni, sunshine, yon, WE GO!" The romanization of "sunshine" is "san-sha-in," in which "san" is the traditional three.

In DanceDanceRevolution Ultramix 4, one of the songs is entitled "GO!" — getting its title from its 5/4 time signature. Throughout the track, a voice can be made out in the background counting off in Japanese.
