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 ;)

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*

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 :)

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:

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

^ 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
Title: [04/11] 「Secret」 Maki Goto 17th single
Post by: Linus on February 06, 2007, 08:42:39 PM
I haven't. I am still looking for other releases around it to order all together or wait.

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 ^^;;)

Post by: wakaba_doll on February 19, 2007, 09:53:18 PM

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:

Well, you know there will be two covers. And usually I only buy one unless I like both covers.

Post by: Linus on February 24, 2007, 02:40:19 PM
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.

Post by: SomethingWild on February 24, 2007, 02:52:16 PM
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 :/..

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:

^ 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........

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.

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!!

Post by: wakaba_doll on March 07, 2007, 10:33:35 PM
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
Title: [04/11] 「Secret」 Maki Goto 17th single
Post by: yokoso on March 08, 2007, 03:03:13 AM
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.

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!

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!
Title: [04/11] 「Secret」 Maki Goto 17th single
Post by: wakaba_doll on March 13, 2007, 02:01:58 PM
^ :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 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."
Title: [04/11] 「Secret」 Maki Goto 17th single
Post by: wakaba_doll on March 13, 2007, 04:47:51 PM
^ That one *DEFINITELY* sounds like a ballad XD
Title: [04/11] 「Secret」 Maki Goto 17th single
Post by: zoolander on March 13, 2007, 05:28:45 PM
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.

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
Title: [04/11] 「Secret」 Maki Goto 17th single
Post by: shadowstar on March 14, 2007, 11:46:53 AM
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

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!

Post by: mini*wheat on March 23, 2007, 04:32:10 PM
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)

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

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

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!

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? -_-

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.

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

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.
