-
Ohhhhh yeeeeees!!!!!!!!!!!^^
-
And my day has officially been made happier.
-
YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:ONfarofflook:
-
Yay!
So long to wait though!
-
bout time they announce this, can't wait :)
-
Life is wonderful again
:MKgroovin:
It sure as hell is!! :heart: I think we've all been waiting for a new Goto single for a *LONG* time! Can't wait to hear more news on it as it gets closer to release time :D
*marks 4.11 in her calendar asap!*
-
yaay~ I have been waiting for this soo damn long ._. Gocchin<3
waiting for her new album though ..(impatiently :P)
-
:heart:!
-
Exactly 6 months after SOME BOYS! TOUCH.
It's been a long wait indeed.
-
^ Wow... I didn't even realize SBT was released 6 months ago! XD I hope this single is worth the wait! :P LOL (Not that it wouldn't be, it's Goto, after all! :heart:)
-
great news :)
I think it's good there's a lot of time between the releases.. it prevents overkill.
-
im hoping itl be a bit different from GNP and SBT. I enjoyed them, but 3 in a row gets a bit boring. And lets hope we dont see the 2 male dancers in shorts shorter than gocchins!... well unless thats your type of thing of course ;)
-
yaay~ I have been waiting for this soo damn long ._. Gocchin<3
waiting for her new album though ..(impatiently :P)
XD I was browsing Gocchin.net and I saw the update about this new single. At first, I was a dissapointed that it's a single (and not her album release. :P)
But ... I'm anxiously awaiting this single; I can't wait to hear a preview of it. Ah! *squee*
-
On April too, this would make a great birthday present for myself! :heart:
-
Now she has the blog I hope she keeps us on the track of the single. She or one of the dancers on their blog :p
She could post one letter of the title every day and keep the expectation XD
Well she said she went to A.I and Kumi's lives. I hope Tsunku also went and got R&B inspiration :)
-
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!!!!!:ONfarofflook:
A few months later than we wanted but hey great news for Gocchin! I've been dying for more new songs. Here's to the 07 510 Revolution!:kickass:
-
finally!!! Yeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!!!!!!! I'm so happy too!!!! I received the news to my mail and my day is wonderful!!!!!!!!! I wanna see her!!!!! =D She's adorable!!! <3 ^___________^ <3
-
YAY! but all the way in april gosh that seems so far away, and im not satisfy with the mm 10th anni sg >_< so far away >_<
-
Now she has the blog I hope she keeps us on the track of the single. She or one of the dancers on their blog :p

Well she said she went to A.I and Kumi's lives. I hope Tsunku also went and got R&B inspiration :)
I hope she'll keep us updated on her blog, too :P LOL It would be nice to see some photo shoot pics when they get around to shooting the jacket covers and PV too! :heart: It seems like most artists are doing it now, so hopefully Goto will do the same^^
It would be awesome to hear her sing something R&B :heart: Although I kind of hope she stays with her dance-y style, since both GnP and SBT were dance tracks!^~ It works well on her :heart:
-
YAY! but all the way in april gosh that seems so far away, and im not satisfy with the mm 10th anni sg >_< so far away >_<
I know me too but am trying to stay positive and keep promoting anything she's involved with. The cool thing is she's obviously the stand out of the 5!
-
sigh...y doesnt hp like to announce things so early? is it becoz they want us to save up? lol
-
Saving up is exactly what I'm trying to do now so I can buy this, G Emotion tour DVD, and Namie's new one.
-
The long wait will worth it... :pen_eat: like always :pen_clap:
-
I know we probably won't hear much news about the single until maybe the middle of March, but I'm hoping the first press Normal edition comes with a photo book, like most of the recent H!P releases seem to be :heart: And not like the so-called "8-page photobook" SBT came with XD LOL
-
The middle or the end of March...:(
-
^ I had a feeling we would have to wait... Oh, well XD
Has anyone pre-ordered yet? I'm so tempted, especially since the Limited Edition of SBT sold out so quick! XD
-
I haven't. I am still looking for other releases around it to order all together or wait.
-
thanks ver nice
-
I'll probably pick it up later.. the limited vr of SBT 'sold out' quickly from some stores but when I finally grabbed it (like, 4 months later ^^;;;) I found them everywhere online and offline.
I'm so bad with buying singles.. I usually wait for the album unless it's something I REALLY like (ie, SBT ^^;;)
-
^ LOL I know what you mean~ Singles will eat you alive XD LOL
But I'm not sure Goto will be releasing an album any time soon, so I'm definitely getting this when it comes out :heart:
-
I haven't pre-ordered it yet. I'll wait until the covers are out then decide.
-
I'm waiting for covers too... But it probably won't be until like the end of March before we see anything XD
-
hahah i dun need to wait for any covers b4 i know i have to buy, i just buy gocchin's single that girl never fails to disappoint me. thats gocchin all right~
-
Well, you know there will be two covers. And usually I only buy one unless I like both covers.
-
Maki's changed her hair for the new single, as she said on her blog.
(http://img338.imageshack.us/img338/5041/2007022401kn7.jpg)
Looks wavy and lightened :D
Nice hat looking RnB. Hope it's all for the PV.
-
Hmm.. I hope it won't be an RnB single. I hate RnB.. She looks great though.
I usually wait for the covers too. I finally found a copy of the SBT Limited Edition, so I don't have money at the moment :/..
-
^^ Loving that new blog pic :heart: It's almost March, too... Hopefully we'll be hearing more and more about the single soon!
-
Some stuff in RYON・RYON's blog about the PV shoot!
(http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/5954/bcab9800hn3.jpg)
Using a translator I could make out something like it is 3 hours away from Tokyo, and the sea was visible? :confused:
http://blog.livedoor.jp/ryoryonko/
-
^ It's too bad that pic is so small! XD I went to the blog site to see if maybe the pic was maximized a little, but no luck LOL I do see that she's got the light-coloured hair, like she mentioned earlier, and it looks like a very soft, pretty scene! Makes me wonder if the new single might be a ballad?
That description about the shoot being 3 hours from Tokyo with the sea visible doesn't really help, ne? XD LOL
-
if the setting was like that, it might be a ballad song for her 17th single, like suppin to namida........
-
if the setting was like that, it might be a ballad song for her 17th single, like suppin to namida........
Or it could be a sexy and sultry dance tune with lots of sweaty poses ^^;;;
-
The title is "Secret" as posted on UFA's website. (http://www.up-front-works.jp/discography/piccolotown/02/s_18/index.html) Sounds sexy! Let's hope the dancers return to help her bring sexy back. :heart:
edit: I forgot to mention this, but the page is hidden from UFA's main page, but was present in its directories.
-
Ohhhh. Now I can't wait even more. But, it still could be a ballad. Or not. We'll just have to see...
-
waited for a long time
seems havn't released any CD for a long period
-
Nice title.. but I want to see the covers! ...and hear the song ofcourse :)
-
oh wow I can't wait for her next single!
It took a while for me to really notice maki(I hope you'll forgive me) but now I can't wait for her new single!
If the album isn't out for a while I should be able to buy it!! I hope this will be another great single!! A ballad sounds great, I love suppin to namida!! oh and namida no hoshi!!
-
Secret as a title sounds hot!
I have a funny feeling its going to be a funky yet sexy ballad.
-
I definitely sense a ballad~ But no matter what Goto sings, she always wins :heart: I'm actually hoping it will be more like Sayonara Tomodachi, more mid-tempo than actually slow XD LOL
-
I'm thinking it's gonna be something mid tempo and not a ballad. (<---- my random guess in the bunch) I just don't feel like a ballad's up so soon.
-
Secret? I must think at Ayus album secret first D-)
-
Saw this on 2ch, don't know if it's real or not. :ONdunno:

oww... so the title has been decided....... agghh.. i can't wait to hear the song... this gonna be a nice present for me :D
hmm.... looks like this single really gonna be a ballad song...
-
hm... hm.. the best birthday present EVER~ :p
-
Secret? Niiice :) Mid-tempo please and not a ballad!
-
She talks about her new single in her blog... nice! and her dreams and donuts XD She's very cute! =)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The new song release will be in a month or so... this single has adult lyrics.
I've been listening everyday at morning and during night before going to sleep!
Translation: Universus
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What do you think now?
-
Hm.... 'Adult lyrics' sound interesting XD LOL I'm glad to hear she's mentioned something about the single on her blog though! A little less than a month to go til release now :heart:
-
I don't know what to think of 'Adult lyrics', like in a grown up way, or in a singing about having sex [or somthing of the sort] way?
Either way, I'm sitting tight!
-
^ :lol:
I have a feeling she probably means more 'grown-up' style lyrics... For some reason I can't imagine Goto doing a blantantly sexual song (like Koda, for example), but we did get the awfully suggestive 'Melodies' for GAM, so it's possible!
-
I don't know what to think of 'Adult lyrics', like in a grown up way, or in a singing about having sex [or somthing of the sort] way?
Either way, I'm sitting tight!
I don't think she'll be singing about sex, for example, so blatantly as wakaba_doll pointed out. Even with GAM, it was just suggestive, but not full on sexual lyrics.
I'm sure she means they'll be more mature, probably focusing on things that apply more to adults or grown-ups.
-
TVstation (http://tvstation.jp/special/artist/htm/gotchin.htm) is reporting that the c/w is "Inner Child" from Goto Maki (/Satoda Mai/Maeda Yuki's) upcoming theatrical play, "Yokosuka Story."
-
^ That one *DEFINITELY* sounds like a ballad XD
-
So it's Tanaka Nao as the arranger of Secret. I think it's safe to say it won't be a ballad. XD He did Some Boys! Touch and Rai Rai Shinfuu along with Minimoni's Crazy About You and some other remixes and album tracks for H!P. Guess that 2ch info was just bogus after all. Guess I should :sweatdrop:
and yea, Yokosuka Story definitely sounds like a ballad. XD Maybe since it's for the play it'll be a cool folk song or something. Yuasa Kouichi has done lots of arrangements for H!P including Jiriri Kiteru, Ambitious!, and Munasawagi Scarlet most recetly, but he's also sone a few ballads too.
-
^ I'm glad to hear that news! :heart: The arranger of SBT is awesome, since that song pwns :P LOL Now I'm thinking we might hear something hip-hop-ish for Secret :heart:
-
Ahh, so exciting! Hopefully we will get somthing soon!
-
well .. found this from 2ch ..
not sure if it's real. Probably it could be the SG cover

Like I said before.. probably a sexy electro-pop song. =X
-
wow.. so it's not gonna be a ballad... hmm... yeahh i just hope that the song is really great and can stay in no.1 oricon chart ^^.... i hope it has a good lyrics too... not like sbt.....
-
it's a ballad, Maki sang it last night at the Super Live Beijing
-
How's that possible?? :doh:
I hope they aren't screwing up momentum! :x
Oh well :P Hope it's cool and unique medium tempo not just a strait up ballad. :cool:
-
Maki said on her blog that the song has "adult lyrics" but I wonder what she thinks is "adult". well ansyways I don't think a ballad can have racy or sexy lyrics( not a good ballad anyway) so I'm still loking forward to it. I still never found any traslation lyrics to some boys touchso i hope her new single has(gets) a subed video.
-
Gah so it's a ballad after all, what's with UFA obsession with ballads, I think it's safe to say that ballads, in general, don't sell well. I hope at least it has beats. Can't wait til concert rip comes out :D
-
Like I said before, whether it's a ballad or not, I'm still sure to enjoy it because I love Goto doing different styles of songs. Sure, 'Suppin to Namida' was her lowest-selling (solo) single, but it's still one of my most favorite songs from her.
The cover is gorgeous and definitely looks real, but I'm not going to accept it as the actual cover until it's on the official site, I'm just like that :P
-
well .. found this from 2ch ..
not sure if it's real. Probably it could be the SG cover

It's the regular press cover....dying to see first press's cover....

-
Wow! With the new hair color/style, it looks like a cover girl promo shot! Cool stuff!
-
whether it's a ballad or not or whether this is the cover or not, I'm sure it'll be a great single!!
If it's got the person that mixed SBT and Rai Rai Shinfuu it's gotta be great!!
-
Why?... She's wonderful!!! I hope a ballad... I think... maybe it will be one! although I don't know but the c/w makes me think in a ballad single XDD hehe but it doesn't matter if won't thus! She will do the best for us!!! =D
=)...
-
on her blog she said that "secret" will be an adult lyrics... hmm... wonder what kind of lyrics is it??? hope it gonna be a good song that will stay on no. 1 oricon chart ^^

And they've already got the Single V cover up too? That was fast... I absolutely *LOVE* them though :inlove:
Goto >>>>> everyone

Hot. Damn.
She's looking SO good (as always). April can't come fast enough!! :heart: Neithr can a new Maki album... or another photobook. She needs to put them out as fast as Takahashi..
-
Okay, I think I got confused for a second XD LOL The Regular Press cover is the face shot? And the Limited is the upper body one? Or is it the other way around?
Edit: Never mind, I figured it out :P LOL Regular Press is the upper body one :heart: Huzzah!
-
Single V :MKlove1:
The single covers are :heart: too.
-
It might be just the small image quality of the regular press, but her eyes and teeth are like woah photoshopped! The pose is hot though, and single V is HOT. The font just fits perfectly!
-
GORGEOUS. Now gimme preview. :heart: :heart:
-
All the covers are :MKlove1:
-
wow, I love the covers! specially the single v one ^o^.
-
:) she's gorgeous... lol if i didn't know better, i wouldn't have a clue she's in H!P. doesn't look like the kind of stuff H!P puts out... lots of effort into it.
-
GORGEOUS. Now gimme preview. :heart: :heart:
HELL YEAH :P LOL All we need now is the preview... Should be really soon!
-
^ I'm kinda irritated we haven't had one yet. ;;;; We even have a preview of Koha's upcoming single, live or not ;;;;

True, she's gorgeous :heart: But what's the deal with cutting that slice of her off on the left side? XD It looks awkward, to say the least LOL
-
It is the official image on the main page of Hello! Project website.
http://www.helloproject.com/img/top/04.jpg

She's absolutely gorgeous.. but jeez... there's no excuse for such sloppy editing! o.o;;;

Secret [radio rip]
http://download.yousendit.com/5599D9201B4A9D4F
Wow, very relaxing, the kind of song you can just chill out too anytime. It's also got a nice melody to it :heart: Can't say it's my favorite ballad from her at the moment, but my opinion may change over time after more listens.
Once again, her vocals are just amazing (especially towards the end where she belts out those notes), she can do any genre with ease!
-
Maaan. I'm a little disappointed. I mean, it's not a bad song...
But it's the typical Maki ballad. And are those bubble noises I hear? That's weird. I do like the rising string part though. That's pretty sweet.
I guess I was just looking forward to another fast paced song.
(P.S. Thanks for the rip. :D)
-
Thanks for the rip
I like her vocals :) .. simply amazing i can say <3
The molodies .. oh well .. it just so so for me tho but i swear this song will grow on me.

-
^ I love that cover
I don't like the water drop noises in the song.. I love the vocals though and the string section
-
Lovely, dramatic, I like it! :)
But God damn, are they trying to sabotage the momentum from the last two singles? Maki was on the upswing because of the dancy upbeat type songs, not because of the ero thing. :evil:
Hello! Project is so mis-managed it's almost comical. XD

Secret [radio rip]
http://download.yousendit.com
Thanks for the rip.
No complain on the singing.....but I need time to digest the song, it's just a bit plain to me....maybe I have a different feel after watching the PV.
-
Aww, this song is so pretty! *-*
-sways-
-
AMAZING song! :heart:
-
YAY RADIO RIP!
First Impressions:
I agree with arian, best ballad yet. The GOOD thing is, is that she still keeps the whole R'N'B sound going on in her last few singles, although the water drop was a bit.. weird.
Also, it isn't unexpected for a singer to release a ballad after an upbeat single, it's actually quite common. I know lots of artists who go like UPBEAT, BALLAD, UPBEAT, UPBEAT, BALLAD.
Continuing on from her new image and sound, it seems about right.
Can't wait for PV! :D
-
Oh... It's just as I hoped!!! She's so soft... =''') I'm really happy for this single!!! I needed something like this!!! more feelings!!! I love it!!! =D I can't wait for the PV... =D =D =D =D =D ^_________________________________________________________^
Thank you very much for the rip Ms. McBackpack!!!
-
I like it a lot, her voice is so great!
-
It's okay but I really was hoping for something more upbeat. Maki's voice really does sound nice though.
-
oh wow. thank you ^^
i love the song. i think its very good.
:heart:
yes. she does sound so nice here ^^
-
I agree with arian, best ballad yet.
Er, I didn't say it was her best ballad XD
It still needs some time to grow on me, "Suppin to Namida" is her best ballad for me as of now.
-
anyone can tell me roughly the meaning of the song?
s.th about love?
-
The song is pretty and reminds me of Flavor of Life :) .
-
Thanks so much for the rip! Well, I think this song is really beautiful & one of her best ballad. Her voice is really great :heart:.
-
Er, I didn't say it was her best ballad XD
It still needs some time to grow on me, "Suppin to Namida" is her best ballad for me as of now.
Looking back, you didn't! I guess I was a bit excited over the radio rip and skimmed through everyones posts. haha.
-
The song still needs to grow on me too, but I like it :heart: Her voice is just so great! And the music isn't too bad (although the 'water drop' was starting to annoy me XD LOL) I don't know why, when I listen to it, it reminds me of something Koda Kumi might do.
I'm not 100% in love with it, but it's Goto :heart: Plus, I'm holding out that the coupling track will win me over ^^

I love the song! It has a very mature sound, a feeling of nostalgia and sadness. Fortunately I pre-ordered it long ago! Secret is more than just another single, it's the best Maki's ballad ever! Well-arranged and awesomely sung by Maki! She shows her feelings on it! The feelings of a Goddess!
-
i agree with u meiji-kun....... i love the song too.... i don't know but... this song just like tell me..."come..accompany me...i'm lonely...." ahahaha... maybe that's what the writer want to said..... i love the pv too.... gocchin looks...sooo kireii..... the best angle pv i ever seen.... i'm full with gocchin face :heart:

The PV looks really hot. The song is your typical R&B ballad. The bubble noises are stupid and annoying as fuck though. It sounds like VH1's pop up videos on crack.

Thank you so much!!!! it sounds so good!!! =D only two days... waiting... 0=)

I actually think the b-side sounds a lot better...which is why now I'm somewhat dissapointed, this should have been the actual single :(
-
Her voice is very good in slow songs , but this bubble/water drop sound is funny xD
-
If they would have turned up the production value a notch on Inner Child, it would have made a kick ass A side! O0

Secret has grown on me a lot more now, I don't even notice the water drops anymore, her voice is just really strong, especially at the climax of the song.
I wonder how sales will go..

http://www.oricon.co.jp/music/interview/070411_01.html
Ooh, I've noticed that shes got black streaks coming from the back of her hair. I'm guessing shes got the underneath back of her hair done in a darker colour. I've seen loads of girls with that style [exept usually its either black if they have blonde hair, or random bright colours, like pink].

Bump all the hatahs! This single should be packed with an ice tray or something cuz it's hott fiya! I honestly have yet to really listen to Maki Goto as a solo artist, I got into H!P around the time Some Boys Touch came out and the first solo artist I got into was Ayaya, I heard SBT and really wasn't liking it, I also briefly saw the Glass No Pumps PV and it didnt hit me per say, but I'm loving the piano, strings, and the bubble noise in this track, it's good stuff! Hope she sells good, the B side is a good upbeat song for those wanting one. Now I'm gonna have to actually check out the rest of her songs!
:whistle:

Not bad! She's still within the Top 10 ;D
Great job, Gocchin!
-
Go Goto!
-
I absolutely love the bside. I personally think it's better than SECRET --- and here I thought it was a ballad :heart: :heart:
-
The bside has grown on me a lot!
-
I don't know which song I like the most! Really, I don't!
Secret was mt favorite at first...but Inner Child is REALLY growing on me! ^_^
-
I can't stop listening it!!! :heart: I repeat it over and over again XDD She's great!!! :heart:
-
Both songs are nice... but i definitely choose secret cuz i always like ballad song.. :D
-
Inner Child is just great ~ Another case of the b-side trumping the a-side, imho. I love the dark-ish, almost rock-ish feel to it... And did anyone else hear hints of 'Station' in there? Something about the arrangement of the lyrics reminded me of that song :heart:
-
back to #9 today ... ;D

I would die if I saw that bus! :heart:
-
Wow that bus looks really cool! I wish I could see it myself! *___*.
I'm still addicted listening to Secret. I don't know, but I just loved it better than Inner Child somehow.
-
I also like this single a lot, I watched both performances, and since it's a ballad it can't have much movement whatsoever, but I have mixed feeling with maki's hair. I also think she's lost a little bit too much weight. It's noticeable on her face specially, I like a healthy looking maki ;D Watch SBT performances and you'll see the difference.
....And haromoni DOES have performances, why the hell maki's Secret wasn't performed on the previous haromoni??!!!! That makes me mad :mad:
I hope we can get more performances soon, I can never get enough maki!
-
^ It IS there....though it's only a small shot of the Secret PV during credits...
Which reminds me, since the single's already out, anyone happen to have kana lyrics for SECRET..? Maybe INNER CHILD as well if possible :)
.....Why do I have a feeling they've already been posted up somewhere? -_-

edit: exact sales are 11,112

That isn't that gooood. :(
As much as I like secret, it is NOTHING compared to SBT and GNP. I would of thought they caught on a bit that ballads don't do aswell as upbeat tracks, eg look at suppin[although it is :heart:].
Now, I'm not saying I don't like ballads, but from looking at a view of sales, we need up-beat!
-
Maki selling bad.. that's scary. I hope this is just a temporary thing -after Glass no pumps and Some boys touch, some people may be disappointed-, and the promotion she's getting helps her sales.

back to #9 today ... ;D

:dunno: Man, looks like they better get that bus back on the road! Gotta get the sales back up! Those sale figures are way too low!
-
hehehe i just got my copy of the cd yesterday :jerkoff: but i dun listen to it yet, since my internet has been down for weeks, i dun know how inner child sounds... so im glad my cd arrive gonna hear it tonight and watch the face vers too :D
-
The sales aren't too suprising unfortunately. They should have learned you can do ballads, but they need to be saved for albums or b-sides(those ones seem to be better imo anyways :p). It's dumb because it always seems to set Maki's sales back. I mean, what did they expect. ::)
Now they might have ruined momentum for a album if thats next. :frustrated:
I do like secret a little more and more after listening to it. :D
-
I've heard alot of crazy speculation as to why she sold so low.
One said that it was because of the Kago scandal. (Wtf?) ANd another said that it was because of JunJun and LinLin (LOL).
The theory that made the most sense to me though, was the one that said that H!P became complacent with releasing ballads, after the surprising success of Aruiteru. Which was why Berryz had Very Beaty, and Maki got Secret. Ruining both of their runs of strong single after strong single. But Aruiteru was an exception I'm guessing, because ballads usually sell like crap, and they should know that by now.
-
if secret was a tie up song with any popular dorama, the single would 've sold a little more.
although i still doubt that any H!P ballad will sell strongly, since normal public associate H!P with happy genki songs. The fact that maki changed her image is just to please the older H!P fans.
A top 10 spot isn;t that bad though. She has now 3 consecutive top 10 hits in a row!
-
I really wish "Inner Child" had been the a-side of the single. I thought the song was fantastic.
-
Inner Child would be a great a-side
-
Could someone please update sales on wiki.theppn??

Okay, updated.
You could also do it yourself of course :P
You can find the sales on Musumenavi (http://musumenavi.cool.ne.jp/) and in the H!P sales archive thread (http://jbbs.livedoor.jp/bbs/read.cgi/music/3914/1125970030/l50) on the Livedoor BBS.

finally i can watch the single v......... and.. wow i really love the secret version...... i love that bathtub scene.... and... gocchin also looks gorgeous on the making.......she get what she want.. sexy, erotic and cute ^^
-
Her lowest selling single to date, but you know, one single can't stop her and we all know that :yep: I'm sure we'll get bowled over with another single or album in time.
Now see, if "Inner Child" were the a-side, I think the sales would have been higher as mostly everyone agrees. Haha.
