..::- Goto Maki -::.. Graduates from Hello!Project :-|

Posted under Hello Project, Morning Musume, Uncategorized by Aece McCloud

It is sad to know that due to personal reasons as explained by Tsunku and Goto Maki, she will not be working with HelloProject from now on but continue to work (solo) with UpFrontWorks which is the agency that collaborate with Tsunku and HelloProject.

This is very upsetting to know how things are progressing with Hello!Project. The last thing we need is senior members leaving when they are needed the most. Hello!Project is becoming nothing more than a vacation for members to have fun for a short period and just leave. More information on the news can be found on Hello-Online article. Most irritating thing about these news is the agency and Tsunku doesn’t seem to be working hard enough in keeping the members. Are they taking a lot of pressure or no pressure for the future of Hello!Project, nobody knows… but the results are devastating enough to make a clear biased decision for now.

Important Announcement by Gomaki

Yesterday, I graduated from Hello! Project on 28th October. Sorry for the sudden announcement. From the time I joined Morning Musume, this has been my 9th year (in showbiz). I have grown up through many emotional encounters.
In the middle of it, little by little I am able to picture the things that I really wanted to do. I’ve decided to graduate, so that I can once more create my own time carefully.
Although, I do not know what will happen from now on, but I will pursue the things that only ‘Goto Maki’ can do, reevaluate my music style, absorb many things, change things with my own means, and move forward in a stable way.
I was going “What should I say to everyone?”, and have been troubled about it. Because of everyone, I am here and you can be smiling. I cannot express in words how thankful I am. Thank you, thank you very much.
From now on, I still want to be with you all, because you are what supports me. I will give my best, not as a member of H!P, but as Goto Maki, as myself.
Please watch over me, Goto Maki from now on.
