Kinda relieved for her. Hope she can put away whatever demons she still has and just get away from it all. Might be good to be just a regular girl again.

“To my fans and those who will be affected,

Today, I have important news.

I, Goto Maki, will stop all entertainment activities starting January of next year.

13 years ago, during the summer, not knowing the world, as a daughter of a working-class family, I brazenly took the opportunity to audition for Morning Musume. And I became Gomaki; while I experienced many brilliant stages, I ran about in a daze.

I am truly thankful for all my fans who came to support and root for me in both clear weather and rain, for the staff and others who always assisted me, and for my family as well as fellow entertainers I have met.

In winter of last year, I lost my mother, who was a strong source of support; this led me to think about many things.

Looking back on the path that I had walked, I thought about how I wanted to live in the future and found it different from the path that I had chosen up until now.

I feel extremely thankful for everyone’s existence.

However, as it is, I cannot fill up a giant void within myself.

Up until now, I have always been living not for myself, but for someone else.

I have come to the conclusion that this time, that “me” should not be living for someone else, no matter who they are, but for myself.

That “me” is not Gomaki; instead, it is connected to my desire to change into a normal Goto Maki.

While I think about what I can do, I want to challenge myself to do whatever it is I think up.

I have agonized about this for a long time, but I have decided to stop my feet here.

For those who have supported me as singer Goto Maki, I will use all of my energy to run through the remaining half of the year.

In July, a new track will be released for distribution; in the summer, I will go to various places to sing for a-nation; in the fall, Avex, to which I have transferred to, will release my first album.

And in December, just like nearly four years ago, I will hold a solo concert.

While I wish that you will understand my selfish determination, in the period until my hiatus, even though I am just one person, I want my gratitude to reach everyone and I will do my best to open up all of my power.

Doozo yoroshiku onegaishimasu.

2011 June

Goto Maki”

She deserve this. After going through what she goes through, she needs to chill back and live a normal life!

frblckstr1 · « **Reply #646 on:** June 22, 2011, 06:52:26 PM »

Eventhough she deserves time off, still sad to hear.

Lets just hope she finds what she is looking for.

I'm so happy to read about rika's first starring role,
then I read maki's hiatus news...become sad!

Just when i'm about to like her after hearing glass no pump
in chanchaka charmy radio show.
as in, can't help dancing and singing to the tunes.

but yeah, she deserves a break and hope she finds happiness
in the path she wants to pursue.

convoy/M · « **Reply #648 on:** June 23, 2011, 10:27:43 PM »

my heart is sinking

but I do respect her decision even if it's so hurtful for meeeee

tutu48 · « **Reply #649 on:** June 24, 2011, 08:16:42 PM »

i'll support her decision as a fan. . . and i think she seriously need some break.. but i hope, it will not be long.. >.<

muppet · « **Reply #650 on:** June 25, 2011, 02:41:49 AM »

brave young woman she is, and if she comes back, I will again purchase and enjoy her new work. but if she stays on hiatus permanently, good for her. Goto Maki as a human being is the most important role that she will play.

SomethingWild · « **Reply #651 on:** June 26, 2011, 05:17:06 PM »

She's been through so much crap these past years, so i can image she wants some time for herself. Better this than getting overworked or depressed and something seriously bad happens.

Avex isn't doing much with her anyway, so this might be a good chance to make a glorious come-back somewhere in 2012.

StephanyLee · « **Reply #652 on:** July 20, 2011, 07:13:12 AM »

Gochin! I'm going to miss you so much

Will be here waiting for your comback

and if no ~~I will go and die~~ i'll always support you ^^
