As far as we know, she didn't renew her contract with UFA anymore, the same way she didn't renew her H!P one.

She's in LA visiting me >_>




I wish.  The fanboy in me is telling me to drive out to where that "Los Angeles" mural is and look for her :lol:

She's gonna sign with Aftermath and have Dr. Dre produce her album!! :rockon:

Honestly, this is great news. A music industry without Maki is like pie without the filling.

Another update on her blog today!

Quote
It's midnight already

Today I continued with the dance lesson, I cooked, the everyday living....

By the way, I have a body pain, my leg hurts so much
Probably that's the reason why I'm not walking normal LOL

Ah! I went to see the show Carnival!!

There were some dancers who have participated from Japan!!
The group performance was only with 18 people, but everyone was really amazing!!
It was a great show.

BTW, it's already midnight.....
That's not good LOL
Time to sleep.

Translation from Hello!Online.

Seriously, imagine how much freedom she's got in L.A. right now. Yeah, some of us know who she is, but most of the U.S. just doesn't. Unfortunate for them, but great for her. She can go wherever she wants to right now without worrying too much about who will see her. It must be nice for her.

But it really, really makes me wish I lived on the west coast instead of the east coast. Damn it.

Nice translation. She sounds just like us - she could be posting that on the postwhoring thread and it wouldn't be out of place.

I'm hoping Maki's enjoying having a bit of freedom too.

I wish her luck, but I'm surprised, the training in LA must be more tough than what she had in H!P... is dance training in H!P just weaker, or maybe she's just pushing herself more. I hope all her hard work pays off but she shouldn't work herself too hard, don't want her getting ill.

On the pic from yesterday she's practicing with something on her hand, looks like a mic or pretends to be it. Bet ya she has a new single and is now training a very difficult dance for it, as well as training her voice for the final record.  :)

:lol: that mini carousel pic is cute.

These daily updates ARE nice :D

Seems she's having trouble with ballet.
Ganbare!

It's kinda weird to know that she's only a few miles away from me, and we're in the same time zone, and that she's probably sleeping right now. Which is kinda hot :O

Maki pretty much told us where she is, or has been and will be again.....
Her post mentions "Dance Choreographer, Rob Vinson".  A little googling reveals that his dance studio is on Washington blvd near sepulveda. The Url for his studio (or where he teaches, whatever) is:  yourneighborhoodstudio.com

SOooooo..... for us LA fans, we know know , more or less, where we can find her.

Scroll down to Rob's Bio  here  http://yourneighborhoodstudio.com/Instructors.html  and you see that he has worked with and around j artists, so this is definitely him....

Paparazzi anyone? Maki stalking ? XD

Looking at the background, I know i've seen that place before. Very few Malls have those little signs hanging there with store name on it. It could be Brea Mall, Main place, or the mall at the santa monica Promenade. Those are the 3 that jump out at me as havin those signs. Main place, at least the last time I went, did not have those rides......  Santa Monica makes sense IF she is hanging around the area where she is doing her dancing.

I don't think stalking her or going there and looking for her is a good idea.  she wants some freedom rite now.

maybe..... a normal greetings, autograph and pics would be nice.....

just don't go wotas on her, aite?

it would be kool to walk up to her, casually, and say "Are you THE Goto Maki?"

I don't think she's under UFA, her pics say (C) GOTO MAKI official blog, before they said (C)UPFRONT.
