How sad!
I hope she keeps to be strong!

really? i didnt know that! thats so sad :( i hope she's doing okay and let her mother rest in peace

^yes, his brother had some business with japanese mafia if i remeber right ... :<
please correct me if i'm wrong...

I'm so sad for Maki :( I didn't know her father died and now her mom :no

I hope she knows she has a lot of fans that love her no matter what happen!

If someone's a part of japanese entertainment industry (esp idol part joining at a very young age!) they're hardly ever "well off" to begin with. There are endless examples, ayu being one of them, several johnny's boys and of course many of the musume girls.

I'm really sorry to hear this happening, it must be really heart breaking for her!

^ yeah that's true. The only idol I can think of atm who was well off prior to becoming one was Airi suzuki. I'm not sure why I got that impression off Maki..but I did :shrug


and idk if you guys remember this but in Maki's 6th mail magazine she said wrote the lyrics to "with..." thinking of her mother, because of how important she was to her.

「with…」はミディアムバラードで、これまでと同じく作詞も担当してます。テ－マは「大切 な存在」。
私にとっては、やっぱり母！
仕事を頑張っている時に、いつも私のことを見ていて支えてくれている母は、かけがえのない存在 です。

:weep

and

Poor Maki...

Even though it's tough right now, and even though she isn't reading this, I want to say to her "Keep fighting! We support you, and I hope our warm thoughts reach you"

I will always support Maki, she's such a strong and wonderful person. It's even worse that she was the one who found her. It must have been... well, I'm sure words can't even describe it. Rest in peace Goto-mama, and stay strong Maki, there are countless people out there who love you and support you, and we at AHS are part of them! :yes

Oh my! I'm so sad to hear about the news. I hope Maki is going to be okay. :(

Very sad news for Maki. It sounds like it may have been suicide with judgment being effected by the alcohol. Both her parents are dead and her brother is in prison. Geeze.

Short video of Maki at the funeral.

i think so...
but i really don't know, but it would be kinda obvious.

Awww Maki... I feel so bad for her. It's encouraging that she's not stopping her music though. It will probably help her to move on if she concentrates on something like that.

We might be getting a remix of TEAR DROPS
http://alucky.jp/?p=custom&id=6261315

TEAR DROPS is one of my least favourite songs on Sweet Black I wish they picked another song. Hopefully the remix (if is a remix..) is good!

***
FALSE ALARM it's not a remix :gnash

^ lol XD i dont really care for remixes, so i dont really mind :P

AN ANNOUNCEMENT FOR A NEW SINGLE IS WHAT I WANT :gnash
