Maki Goto - Glass no Pumps

Maki has done a lot of happy bubblegum pop, but with her latest album How To Use Sexy she shows she's grown up very, very nicely. Here she is with the song Glass Pumps.

After her brother's theft arrest and all that controversy, and her break with her agency and label, and her "graduation" from Hello! Project, fans have been anxiously awaiting her next career move. At Maki's official blog she has revealed that she's in Los Angeles taking dancing lessons and vocal coaching and exercising. Here's hoping there's some good news from my lovely girl in the near future.

Maki Goto - Yaruki! IT'S EASY!

Here's my darling Gocchin. Maki was born in Edogawa, Tokyo, in 1985. She's one of the most famous members of the supergroup Morning Musume and the associated Hello! Project. She has performed in many Hello! Project subgroups, as well as having a successful solo career.

Maki joined Morning Musume at the age of 14, as one of the leading vocalists. Their first single after she joined sold over a million copies, several times more than any previous release they had done.
