I kind of just discovered Maki, H!P and Jpop earlier this year. I do remember seeing the Manpower PV online sometime probably mid 2005 but I didn't think much of it at the time. Then I saw some news magazine on TV about Morning Musume and they said how it was a Japanese girl group like Menudo, where members graduate as they get too old. Also they mentioned that some mysterious producer controlles everything. I thought it was kind of weird and did nothing for a while.
One day I seached for some stuff on youtube and stumbled on a few MM PVs and and I think SEXY BOY was the first one I saw and I thought they were cute. I also found some old stuff, most noteably Koi no Dance Site and some old shows like the Mechaike field trip special, where Maki caught most of my attention.
Anyways I searched for some info and pics on Maki and stumbled upon some pics from the Dear. . .PB and
I was in love. I read up on the history of MM on wikipedia and learned that Maki had long graduated and was now solo, so I looked up her music and videos and started to really like her stuff.
I remember downloading the Selection Collection concert and Maki was like an angel with Suppin to Namida and then blew me away with Daite yo!
Then I downloaded the Elder Club concert and Gocchin was so awesome that I hardly noticed anyone else! Shortly after that I found this forum and have been following ever since, gathering and learning everything I could.
Well thats the story of how I discovered Maki, at least thats what I can recall. Maybee a little too detailed now that I see it.
