Would like the covers more if the text was a different font and the "stars" weren't there but the pictures themselves are amazing.

I love the covers. I personally love seeing Maki in a see of stars. I'm just trying to figure out the constellations on them. I think the one of the CD only is part of one of the dippers. I could be completely wrong though. All I know is that Maki looks HOT!

Ohhh I LOVE the covers! I think she looks amazingly gorgeous!

[FIRSTKLAS]

So it looks like the posters that are coming with the album are calendar posters and there are two types, meaning that each probably only has half a year on it.

If that's the case, I'll probably just order the album from YesAsia because I am not going to order both editions to get a full calendar and I don't think I could stand having *half* of one.

^ avex is really trying to leech her fans money with this release I expect special cards to be announced for the Doji version too just like last time.

Maki was on Mujack recently. She visits Capcom and plays some games idk what goes on the 2nd video...I think they ask her questions about guys?


(4:00 is when she goes to Capcom)


-edit- in the 2nd video they talk about..
"The lady that kinda appeared out of nowhere was there to do some kinda game with them in terms of love and how many times they'll be in relationships/married. So the first part was about taxis. I forgot what the main question was, but something like how many times do you let the cabs pass by before you choose to get in. So Maki said 5 and Minami said 3. Basically Maki'll be a marry-guru when she is settled and what not. The second game was about shopping in the supermarket for milk. (I guess they are less like games, and more just metaphors). Maki's was like just going for whatever looked good, whereas Minami's was trying out a number of different things. Something like that. When I'm not swamped w/ hw and studying, then I can give a better synopsis." - sin90hyaku@jpm


Glad that hair is gone

Sina Entertainment News, 28th of October: According to Japanese news, the recent criticism of her teacher-benefactor Tsunku by a previous Morning Musume member Goto Maki caused a great sensation. Goto Maki, who transferred to and is now under Avex Group, reminisced about her life in Morning Musume, and openly criticized her then producer Tsunku that his way of doing thing were undue and excessive.

Goto Maki joined Morning Musume in 1999, and became well liked because of her outstanding voice and skills, and she was always the center of the group before she graduated in 2002. Yet, not only is she not grateful to her teacher-benefactor Tsunku, she even openly criticized him, and this caused much uproar on the internet.

It’s been said on some Japanese entertainment websites, that when Goto Maki was interviewed and asked about the good points about joining Avex, she said: “The best part about joining is that I’m able to express myself in the way I like, unlike when I was in Morning Musume, I had to do everything according to what producer Tsunku wanted, there was totally no freedom, even though every member had different ways of singing, in the end it all became the same way of singing, even after my graduation, I felt that I couldn’t express my character and personality with those songs, and because of that, after I switched companies, I have been able to sing more naturally and freely.”


Netizens expressed their unhappiness with what Goto Maki said, and even some of her fans felt that she was being ungrateful. On a large scale message board, 2CH, some fans said: “She shouldn’t treat her teacher-benefactor this way? She’s really a person that doesn’t know gratitude.” and they also pointed out that when Tsunku became their producer, Goto Maki just started out, since she has more experience now and is different from before, her producer’s way of doing things will also be different. Tsunku did indeed help Goto Maki turn from a nobody into a popular singer, and she shouldn't forget that.

The song is okay, but Maki's look in the pv is gorgeous!

I still prefer the SWEET BLACK songs, but this is not bad at all.

[~Amy~]

The PV and song really suprised me. I thought it would be some boring ballad but, the song and the PV is actually pretty good. ^_^
