Macaroni-i

Goto Maki was always my favorite Momusu member. I knew Momusu thorugh an anime magazine that had a little section about Jpop. They were REALLY big in Japan at the time, but I can’t quite place when this was, I’m guessing around the Mr. Moonlight single because that was the most recent single of their included in the media section of the magazine XD

So anyway, I was probably 12 or 13 at the time, and Goto Maki really caught my eye, I found her to be so unusual looking and different from the other girls. From then on, I didn’t really follow Momusu until somewhere around 2005. Gocchin had become a soloist and she was GORGEUS. I downloaded one of her concerts to see what she was up to and I was blown away. In my opinion, (which is kind of limites, as I haven’t sat through a whole Nacchi or Ayaya concert, but I’ve seen fragments of them, and that’s what I’m basing my opinions on XD) Gocchin was the best solo performer in the whole H!P. She was the best dancer, hands down, and she was also a very good singer, despite of not having the ultra powerful voice of some other girls. But what made her the best wasn’t that at all, but her incredibly powerful stage presence. Gocchin pwned the stage whenever she set foot on it, and in her concerts, which were filled with backdancers, magic tricks and all sort of almost cinematographic stuff, she still didn’t let them take HER spotlight, and shone more than everyone else.

This made me respect her even more. I don’t care that people were whining that she had become a slut (especially not when they were claiming this simultaneously to Biyuden releasing stuff like Jajauma Paradise, which is the raunchiest PV I’ve ever seen in my life) become I think that it’s stupid to pretend that a 22 year old keeps singing stuff a la “Te wo nigitte arukitai” but that’s entirely another story. 

The reason why I’m posting this is because Gocchin is finally making her debut in avex, which I’d ben epecting for soooo long! She has a brand new look to go with it, too! And she looks very stylish and pretty, as usual. She actually kind of reminds me of Nocchi. Also, I’ve always thought that short hair isn’t necessarily the best look for her, as back in the days when she released “Genshoku GAL wa hade ni yukube” she looked a bit… boyish maybe? And it didn’t suit her features all that well. But this type of short hair definitely looks amazing on her!

And even though I was quite frustrated that she didn’t ever release a single or a song in 2008, and I only saw her for the 1:30mins video of the avex concert, I didn’t lose my faith, and now, Gocchin  is finally releasing a single.

And not only that, but she’s releasing an awesome techno flavored song too! I love techno, so this is like a dream come true for me! I hope that she does really well and becomes famous and releases more techno stuff, because that would make me so happy

Plus, she works extra hard, so she deserves all the recognition she can get!

Here’s the video in her homepage, I believe. It shows a little bit of the AWESOME song!
