^I agree
How to use SEXY was awesome but I didn't much care for her older works [save for Ekiza na Disco, Uwasa no SEXY GUY and Ai no Bakaryou]

^^ have you tried "Ekizo na DISCO". It's from her third album but it fits right in with the How to use SEXY album :yes

Ohh I love her old stuff :<. Mostly the singles though, her album tracks are kinda bleh for me.

^ Let me look that up :yatta

I thought Maki would be performing at a-nation soon..but it isn't for another like 2 weeks ;-;. I wonder if that duet with Ayu she is supossed to do is true, maybe they will perform Who...again like on Ayu Ready?

I love maki goto :>
threads title is cool ...
does anyone else like suki sugite baka mitai (goto version) ? ;o

Is she going to be at a-nation?

^ yesss. Maki will perfrom on the 24th and 31st.

does anyone know what songs she'll be singing? idk if that's out yet or not, probably not XD maybe she'll have something new for us to listen to.

A single announcement is overdue! I miss Gomaki!

I don't like it. But then again, I'm just not a fan of the song period. LOL!

Awww, really? I love her older stuff! <3 She had so many fun songs.

^ I hope she just doesn't perfrom that Whitney Houston song. It would make sense that she is debuting her new single...new artists never perform this early at a-nation.
aHHH I change my mind. Makking GOLD① is like my fave album by her right now :luv2 The album tracks are amazing

I'm hooked on "Some Boys! Touch!". I normally don't like overly-synthed stuff but that song is addictive. I really hope she'll release a new single soon with urban-dance stuff. <3

Could someone please upload BE IN LOVE (original version) and Daite yo! PLEASE GO ON for me? For some reason mine are missing =/

^ I pmed you with them~

I'm glad she got picked up by avex. <3 I don't like H!P at all but I love her voice for some reason so I can't wait to hear her new music. :D

I'm surprised we haven't heard anything about what she's singing at a-nation...I'm sure she'll do well though

Her first appearance is on the 24th, so we'll have to wait a few days. I CAN'T WAIT!

Double posting, sorry!

A-nation news! Today she sang 2 songs. An English cover (Diana King's Shy Guy) and the other song is apparently written by herself!

Rip link here: http://www.hello-online.org/index.ph...icle&topic=515

The 2nd song is probably her new single? I like the sound of it!

The cover was a bit painful to listen... XD

Good goin Maki, You killed Shy Guy -_-

But the other song sounds like it has potential! I like it!

I actually think her voice fits the shy guy song quite well.. Thanks for posting! I hope we hear more soon! :love

She doesn't sound too bad! :D

Oooh I love Hear me! From what I heard when I was listening it sounded pretty good. <3

Stop singing english covers Maki ;x!

The new one didn't sound too bad.

Here's a pic of her.

^ OMG.

Kuu take notes plz.

wow maki looks amazing, great look on her, very sexy too.

Very sexy, but she looks amazing!

wow..she is hot

Maki looks really hot!

I read several weeks back on "MY PAPER" (trusted source...since it was where i got news in the first place that she was joining Avex) her debut kept being pushed back by Avex because Avex had plans for other debutters..

we'll see how truu this is...

i hope that she will realese new single soon :>

maki and other artists at a-nation: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=coMUqmScb_0

^ Ahhh I can't wait until the dvd comes out, I want to see her performance in full.
Well if she was being pushed back why would they let her perform at a-nation? She hasn't even released a single yet..how often does that happen o_o?

wait wait wait wait?

Now she is under AVEX?:roflmao:roflmao:roflmao:roflmao :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao :roflmao

^ EXCUSE YOU :grumpy

like never until this time - but I think Goto Maki is a star on a-nation any way ever if she don't realese anything

^^^I think Avex finds it not only easier to have her just perform at A-nation, but it shows the public that she IS working hard and that she hasn't disappeared just yet.

I think it's a better ploy that Avex-Single. At least build up credibility with Avex first.

^^^^^ they won't just throw her with a new single and expect people to love her right away, they are re-introducing her to the media and audience id the single is bein pushed back is not that they want her anymore they have a plan.

RUDE
 

So apprently Tohoshinki wotas booed Maki WTF? Do they not know her brother is in the Mafia? I hope they get whats coming to them omg. Must have been jealous that they were drooling over her~

Here is Maki using SEXY at the final a-nation performance.

What does Cassiopeia have against Maki? Swear to god DBSK fans are ridiculous...

I love her outfit <3

I dunno :shrug It's a possibility that it was just made up by bitter H!P fans. Rumours are fun!


Judgeing from those pictures it must have rained during her set hah. ANYWAY I'm expecting a single announcement soon..even though I would rather wait longer if it means we would be getting a good quality product.

Oooh Maki's brother's in the mafia? O_O Wow...

And those pics are hawt, nice and wet. :laugh Love the outfit too.

^ yes! look at his scary gang tats
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...goto_yuuki.jpg

don't mess with the goto family~ :fatality

Ok so wow this thread is dead...Avex announce something PLEASE..ANYTHING! I was bored so I scanned some photo cards :/

Well, her brother is in jail now. XD

Cassiopeia = lame

My gawd, he's so scary looking, I don't wanna meet him at all. :innocent

And still no new single? Sheesh avex don't take the piss!

Nice piccies btw. :D

Phew, didn't know he was. Wonder how long for.

^ I think he's in jail for like..five or four more years?

Umm does anyone remember when way back when it was announced Ami joined Avex? I can't remember if the wait for her first single was this long too..

Maki will be on the a-nation DVD <3

And yeah, I think Ami joined around early January of 2005, but I dunno when the single was announced though. :shrug
Yay! Maki getting more love! :heart

Ahh I can't believe I forgot <_<

HAPPY BIRTHDAY GOCCHIN... May your birthday wish be a single announcement :cry
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7.../goto_maki.jpg

SERIOUSLY! She should make an amazing comeback single <3

Happy birthday, Maki!

Hopefully a single will be announced soon!

happy birthdayy gochaaaaannn :heart:heart:heart

I can't believe we still have no news about her avex debut...

Woah seriously? I'd have thought that by now they would be working on her debut single and announcing the release. Unless they are planning something big...

Maybe they decided to postpone a few things, that's why we haven't heard much yet.

i hope that she will release new single soon ...
i can't wait any longer :/

It's quite annoying how she hasn't announced one yet. I really hope she does it soon. :irked

yes. she joined avex about 4 months ago, and nothing yet :no

Guess she feels like taking her time or something.

Here's a pic that ampedechoz from JPM posted. Doesn't say anything new from I what heard. Still hot.

http://www.picamatic.com/show/2008/1...8_bigthumb.jpg

I have come to the conclusion that they are waiting until 2009, that will be Gocchins year! Remember guys it hasn't even been a year yet since she left H!P. I do think Avex announced her return too early though. The least they could do is give her a blog..

* waited too long to post pic :O

At least we will have her a-nation performance soon. I've been wanting to hear Hear Me in decent quality.

True that, we are gonna see that performance, so we can't blame them entirely. :yes

And I love your set. :luv2

Thanks! Moments does awesome sets :heart I'm hoping she does a new photobook with avex, I loved her last one foxy fungo (where i got the pictures for my set from~)

The only good thing to come out of long wait for me, is that I'm rediscovering alottt of Maki songs. Especially her bsides, they are so good. My current favorites are BLUE ISLAND, DANCE DANCE DANCE, and Kitto Kareshi ga Dekiru Houhou.

Oooh could you send me that photobook please? And the one she did before that as well? :D I've been looking for them for like...ever! XD

And I'd love for her to do a new photobook with avex, one that's more sexier. :innocent

Same here, I really like DANCE DANCE DANCE as well. :hi5 The b-side to Glass no Pumps (it was called Love can Coffee I think) was fricckin amazing! I got hooked on that. :D I need to listen to her older stuff more often. :laugh

Love kan Coffee is amazing :heart

I found scans from her first photo book

here is foxy fungo

and the website also had these random pictures of her

ahh this is like a goldmine for set making :luv2

oh they also have scans from her first concert tour book
http://criperez.multiply.com/photos/...03_autumn_GOLD

** I don't have her others but I'll look.

^ Thanks for that, I'll be taking some :yes

OMG thank you so much! You're amazing, I'll take them all. :D

I ♥ you! :heart :laugh

Thanks for the photobook links, Maki is absolutely gorgeous! My favourite photoshoot is the one set in the forest-type area.

thanks for the links!!! she has so many photobooks *o* hope she'll make more :P

let's hope that she will make new single before that :yes

^ yeah youre right, but after that a photobook :P

I kinda doubt that she'll be doing more PB now that she's not with H!P anymore. She's no longer an idol so yeah... :/

^ that's true but Kuu did a photobook just a few years ago, Ayu has quite a bit too (including the (m)u/GUILTY ones). Ami also had one with her debut avex single + a few other releases.

It would just be a different kind of photobook. I can see her doing something like Dear...(minus the idoly swimsuit pics) and FOXY FUNGO again with Avex. Even better if its with a single/album :heart

she is still idol.

Wow... no new info or anything? o.o
I wonder why she's taking so long to debut. lol

Maybe she's having stuff done :laugh


(I'm just kidding btw)

^

how dare you try and tarnish her image. Maki is pure and clean, she would never get plastic surgery or any work done :rolleyes

yes, only work what maki has got, is those boobs.

I thought she had blepharoplasty as well while she was in H!P?

I don't really think Maki's boobs are fake. She had big boobs before "Glass no Pumps" and "SOME BOYS! TOUCH". She just never wore such push-ups. XD

ahhh it's hard to tell if they got surgery or not. I'm now not sure about her boobs, her getting implants/staying natural are both possibilities.

Um as for her eyes I'm not sure. Like if everyone saw this early pic of her they would be convinced she got surgery.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...y0058pfov2.jpg

but it's just the way she's smiling, she pretty much did the exact same face when she won this award (taken in 2007)
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7.../maki11fr6.jpg

Well, she didn't had eye lids as a kid. But now she does. I think it's almost 100% true that she did eye surgery. Well, I'd say that probably half of H!P members did. I'm pretty sure that Gaki and Miki have not. But Aibon, Tsuji, Mari, Sayumi, Eri... yeah...

Wow :tired exactly the same face..... I don't think Maki got any surgery work done, by the way anybody have that award video footage? looks nice

I've been looking for footage of her winning foreverrrr. It's from the Mnet(?) awards in Korea. Here's her performance


ANYWAY I love nerd maki
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...1106014955.jpg

AND LOOK HOW QT HER NIECE IS!!!



http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...oagoto2xm9.jpg
It reminds me of Ayu's A song for XX cover :D

omg i love nerd maki too! and her outfit. :P

Oh, but that performance is nice, I wonder why korean stages and lightshows are better than japanese ones..

yup Maki looks great with that outfit. Do you know where is that from?

So...is there any news on releases?, and does anyone know where I can download her first 3 albums, I have How To Use SEXY.

I can't remember where the glasses picture is from, it was some sort of event.

Celaphorce.



I included Premium Best cause it has a bunch of new mixes/songs.

Credit to Ami Suzuki for Paint it gold, 3rd station and premium links.

Aww. Is that her younger brothers daughter? What a shame, he will miss the first five years of her life.

http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=81103
here is 3rd Station. :)

I have her discography if anyone wants. :)

Nerd Maki is awesome by the way. :laugh

i love her outfit!! so cute :luv2

Thanks, glad that they're MU links cause I paid for a month subscription so I can download them all at the same time, anyways thanks a bunch!!!

BTW!-What is the first song she's singing in that performance, I like it, it's very catchy!

You are welcomeee :) The first song she sings is called Ekizo na DISCO, track 1 from her third album.

btw the second song she sings sounds a bit off cause she's singing in Korean, I like the Japanese version better~

How exactly did Maki got popular in Korea?

Well I think H!P always had a pretty steady following in Korea, so around the time Premium best was released Korea got their own special version. It came with a cellphone strap + 2 bonus songs in Korean (Suppin to Namida + Daite yo! PLEASE GO ON) and a DVD which came with the Suppin to Namida + Daite yo pvs and a special documentary thing of her in Korea.

After that she released five box sets exclusive to Korea called the "G-emotion single collection". They contained like 3 singles + the pvs and photo cards. I've been debating whether or not I should buy them >_>
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v7...u/3622_1_b.jpg

So those best albums must have been popular, I never knew she was that popular in Korea either until I saw the screencap of her winning the award.

Can someone recommend some of her upbeat songs like the one she performed and Some Boys! Touch...? cause like I'm in love with those songs right now...and are most of her songs like those songs as well?

ok upbeat stuff..

2. 好きすぎて　バカみたい(後藤Version) (Suki Sugite Baka Mitai (Goto Version))

ah I hope you like at least one song :faint

Most of her upbeat songs aren't like "SOME BOYS! TOUCH" or "Ekizo na DISCO" except songs from "How to use SEXY" so try that album. She has quite a few edgier pop songs a few rockish upbeat songs and a few cute upbeat tracks. Here's a few I would suggest if you don't like cute upbeat songs, these are kinda pop/R&B-ish:

- Uwasa no SEXY GUY
- LOVE。BELIEVE IT!
- Shiawase Desu ka? (this is slower but it's kinda R&B-ish)
- Paint It Gold
- Inner Child
- LOVE Can Coffee
- Ai tte Donna ×××?
- Afurechau... BE IN LOVE
- SHALL WE LOVE?
- Akai Nikkichou
- Suki Sugite Baka Mitai
- Station

DANCE DANCE DANCE!!! that song is :heart

Oh damn I forgot about Inner Child, that song is awesome. A song for xx's list is better than mine follow that@@ DANCE DANCE DANCE too :luv2.

Inner Child, DANCE DANCE DANCE, and LOVE Kan coffee are bsides so here are the single downloads.

I just realised, I was the person who you credited. :D :laugh
