[ Misc ] The Official Maki Addicts Intro Thread

[romi]

I decided to set up this section just for Maki Addicts' introductions. Since this is a new section, it will be nice to tell us a little more about yourself, where are you from, how you get in to Makiholism, etc. How much details is entirely up to you. It will be nice to know something about people you are chatting with. Happy posting.

[romi]

Alright I start off first. Here's a little about myself.

romi desu...
Occupation: doing R&D,a JRF, also doing a higher degree at the same time, wasting my life away doing it..
Age: ?
Interest: Goto Maki, Imai Eriko, H!P, Japan, Jpop, Music, R&D, Reading, Travel, Writing, PCs, Website Making.

Been to Japan 7 times, all by free & easy traveling, I dislike tour groups. ^^ Places covered include Tokyo, Yokohama, Chiba, Saitama, Nagoya, Shizuoka, Shimada, Fukuoka, Osaka, Kobe, Kyoto, Kansai area, etc. Hopefully I get to go to Hakkaido and Okinawa in the near future. Favourite areas in Tokyo are Harajuku (All the fan goods...^^), Jimbocho (Books, books, books..), Shinjuku (Electronics! Yodobashi rulz!) and Shibuya (Shopping..). Listen to Jpop for 15 years, mainly my elder sis influence in the beginning (80s), started listening to and fall prey to Nakamori Akina! (Akina rocks, Seiko.. ). Hooked eversince to Jpop. I had a difficult peroid following Jpop when I left home to prusue studies in UK where Jpop is scared. I am thankful to the internet for keeping me connected somehow. I created my 1st website in mid 2000, erikogenki.net, dedicated to one of my favourite jpopgirls. The project developed my interest in website making, and take a serious turn. I registered my 1st domain name in early 2001. Since then, I have started various web projects. But due to my busy schedule, I have a hard time keeping up with them. I will try do my best.

A little about Gocchin and me ^^

Goto Maki

Momusu: LOVE MACHINE, Goto Maki debut that started it all.... I listened to Momusu in the past, but it was Gocchin that really got me into them. I still vividly remember the 1st time I watched the LOVE MACHINE PV (full version), I remembered I was complaining to myself, Argh..so many of them, who should I focus on...and then she caught my eye...that lovely smile, that face that screams 'attitude', that blond hair...I was overwhelemed. The only thing I remembered after watching that was the name Goto Maki. The rest is history.  ^^

Fav. H!P Artist: Goto Maki,Goto Maki, Goto Maki...
But I also like W, Yaguchi Mari, Ishikawa Rika, Matsuura Aya
Fav. Momusu member: Takahashi Ai, Fujimoto Miki, Tanaka Reina, Kamei Eri (Current)
Fav. Momusu song: Do it! Now, I WISH, Renai Revolution 21, LOVE MACHINE (LM is a sentimental favourite!)

Okee, enough blabbing for now. More later.

>_>

Um, I'm not a #1 Maki fan >_> She's in my top 3...

But I love introducing myself

So um, hi! I'm Shirenu! I'm a H!P Crapola mod! A 20-year-old female, single!

I blame Maki for turning me into a perv! I was an innocent, brand new H!P fan when one day someone posted previews of Prism PB (I'm a n00b) on a forum! I swear I had never been into bikini pics or anything before, but Maki turned me into a drooling idiot. It's an incurable disease

But of course her looks ain't the only reason I like her! I'm always impressed with her live performances, her energy on stage etc. And I like all the little unconscious mannerisms and expressions she has when not realizing the camera's on her, kinda hard to explain but it's cute stuff indeed. Anyway, I don't want to babble on too long, so shortly put: she's awesome.

So that's my Maki stuff.

[arun.yothin]

Yoake.no.Senshi
Age: 20
Interests: Maki Goto, video games, drawing
Fav. H!P Artists: Maki, W
Fav. MoMusu members: Makoto, Sayu
Fav H!P songs: Sayonara Tomodachi niha Naritakunai no, Miss Love Tantei, The Peace

The first time I saw Maki was in the Sayonara Tomdachi PV. A friend gave me a link to the Public MM tracker. I had never seen anything H!P, so I just downloaded random torrents and that PV was the first one. I loved it so much I DLed the single, and then bought the single. I couldn't get enough so I was looking all over the place for Maki stuff.

[Comrade]

makistar kindly pointed the way here for me.

I'm from Canada, I live in Japan, I have loved Maki hardcore since August '04, and have loved H!P hardcore since May '04. However, the first time I ever saw her (and any H!P girls) was in October '02.  I went to her 20th b-day concert this past September (where I met Romi!), and I also went to her concert in Kumagaya, Saitama the following week with Com-verse buddy Universus.

favorite MM members: Takahashi Ai and Michishige Sayumi

I was staying in Japan for a bit back in 1999 (wow, I was 10 years old x____x) and was watching some TV at the hotel room, hoping to catch Sailormoon or another cartoon, lol! but, then the "Love Machine" PV was starting on some channel and I decided to watch it out of curiousity. I fell in love with the song, the video and of course...MAKI!

 she stood out to me in terms of appearance first of all, her face was very different from the rest of the girls in the group, but in a good way of course. also, that blonde hair was definitely eye-catching! she then stood out to me next in terms of vocals. overtime, she stood out (and still does) in many more ways!

and at the ending of the Love Machine PV, that infamous wink (and adorable curious look she gives to the guy in the PV) stole my soul forever and I've been supporting Maki the best I can, no matter what.

Gocchin in my life:
let c, i love Goddess Gocchin since 2001 summer. my bro told me about this girl in a morning group which looks really cute. first he showed me RR21 then some other mm pvs. i was like yeah she is hot. and we laughed bcoz we thought they were singing "pikachu pikachu..." during the chorus..lol. but since back then i werent into entertainment, just animes so i just thought wow cool japanese girls, and didnt pay them any mind. i dun really remember wat happen, but sth crushed my heart, total heartbreak, so i watched back some pvs my bro showed me b4. then Gocchin was like a magnet to me, i couldnt stop looking at her in mm pvs, esp in RR21 my first pv. then i start search for her stuff and info using the comp i had back then. Which was really difficult, my comp was like very old, some of the hardwares werent even made anymore, and my internet was dial-up (super slow type), that lasted for a year or so, until i bought a new comp and got adsl, so maybe bcoz i gone thru so much in luving Gocchin. so thats why im loyal to her.
o! yeah, and since 2001 was my first yr of high sch, i couldnt control my feelings i was like writing her name both in kanji and romanji all over my  sch stuff. esp in my notebooks, drawing her pics everywhere i was like insane, uncontrollable. until one day i wrote a poem bout her which was quite simple, but 2 of my classmate, notices i was writing about this girl name "maki" again, they dun even know her, but just to tease me, they said some cruel stuff, so i started a small fight and arguement w/them, i was vexing w/them, but after that day, then came to me and apologize almost every day, so i forgive them, coz they were a bother lol. o well i think im starting to get bored.

[Tuffty]

Hi. I'm 17 years old, living in a quiet little town in N.Ireland, and I've been a Makiholic for over a year now.    

My interest in Maki, or rather H!P in general, all started when I was looking for the self proclaimed 'Hot Chicks' topic in one of the forums that I go to. One of the members had posted an image of the Gooch up and I was immediately enthralled weren't we all when we saw any of the girls for the first time?. It was only after given links to H!P PV's through his ftp site, that I knew about the other girls and saw that not only are they God's gift to all mankind, but made catchy, up-lifting pop music which was a real contrast to what I usually listen to.

My favourite will always be Maki. Sure Mari's got the infectious laugh, Ayaka with the legs and Miki with the death stare, but just when I think I've got a new favourite, Maki comes along and pulls me right back. She can do no wrong.

I'm very new to this Maki and MM stuff, but I've already getting to be obsessed, is this a good thing

I plan to draw no-one this year apart from Maki

[daigong]

ahh, meant to do this a long time ago but got sidetracked  

I'm daigong. I'm from Canada but reside in HiP Nation. Been a Maki fan ever since I laid eyes on Love Machine in the summer of 2000. Blond locks. And slowly got addicted to Officer Maki, Pucchi Moni, her solo, and BOOM first PB and these Oricon (?) pix:



+ her 1st PB. just the cutest thing I ever seen. seeing her develop into a mature artist has been SO GOOD. She'll always be up there with Rika. As with all your firsts, she holds a special place in my heart.

And so glad Masa + romi made this EXOTIC union for Da HiP, so I don't have to go anywhere for my Maki news!! And all the great Maki fans are here too! SWEET.

[Lunar]
