[Queen Bee] The 5th Maki Goto thread - Page 10

I'm hearing that she's going to release an album and do a live before the hiatus in 2012, much like Utada back in 2010.

I think Maki was like "I want to leave" and Avex was like "Wait, before you leave we got to make some more money"

I just hope she is happy recording her last album and doing her last tour and she's not being obligated

HIATUS?????? ;___________;

i do understand though, the death of her mother must have been devastating

utada's hiatus was expected eventually, lol. but now....maki?!

i'm really surprised. i understand, though, considering how the past year must have been for her. hopefully she'll come back in the very near future! good luck, maki.

i would expect avex to have maki release something before she leaves, though. oh avex.

Wait a minute...it might be involving the death of her mother? Hmm... That can be one of the reasons why she's taking a hiatus... Hopefully she comes back in late 2012 or 2013 or such, but we don't know...

So, here's how it goes:
2009: ayaka
2010: Utada
2011: Goto

Oh, that's sad!!
But she writes she wants to live a normal life.
I understand her - hope she finds it!
I gonna enjoy the last activities till January 2012.

Bigtop · #**188** 22nd June 2011, 09:42 PM

I feel sad about this. I hope she gets better - I'm speculating she's not emotionally well to go beyond 2012, at least for now.

Enough for up to end of this year/January 2012, but time will tell...

awww, sad to hear about Maki's hiatus. i was just getting into her as a musician too (never followed her H!P stuff). but if that's what she wants, i hope for the best!

FIRSTKLAS · #**190** 23rd June 2011, 12:36 AM

This is bittersweet news.

I'm sad that she's going on hiatus, and even a little worried since it sounds like she's not even sure if she's going to come back, but I'm also glad that she's at least doing something for herself.

I hope that if she finds happiness, it will provide a balance to her life and that she'll be reinvigorated and want to return to music. She has to put herself and her needs first, of course, and I totally support that, but there is also a definite value and purpose in being a performer and I hope she rediscovers it.

Oh nooooooo ;__________; MAKI!!

This is soo sad.. I wish her the best though. Glad she'll be busy throughout this year though, atleast she'll go out with a bang

adantatu2 · #**192** 23rd June 2011, 03:06 AM

oh no !!! ToT
it's sad for the fans, but if maki is happy is ok!!
now we have to enjoy her music this year

Kaiouforever · #**193** 6th July 2011, 07:16 AM

I totally forgot about love! gotta go listen now

NintendoHTF1242 · #**194** 6th July 2011, 07:26 AM

I'm actually glad for this hiatus. She needs to recover emotionally and physically. And who knows, maybe she'll come back even stronger than ever. I wish her well.

Fenio · #**195** 6th July 2011, 10:22 PM

I'm a recent maki fan >.<!! This is awful

She needs the break though - and you have a ton of Maki songs to listen to and enjoy in the meantime!

NintendoHTF1242 · #**198** 20th July 2011, 05:36 PM

Wow, she's going out with a bang.

Beauty4123 · #**199** 20th July 2011, 05:47 PM

LOL this album is kinda like what someone posted on the previous page.

Quote:

what would you say if mini albums will be use as isngles and maki will release full album with PV songs from minis and new stuff xD

i'm totally not surprised since it's avex, LOL. i wonder what those new songs will sound like!

FIRSTKLAS · #**200** 20th July 2011, 08:20 PM

^ Yeah, since it's Avex, it's kind of expected that there'd be a lot of recycling of old songs. I just hope that there are more new songs than old ones but I'm also not holding my breath.

Preview for two digital singles, "What is LOVE" and "SCANDALOUS", scheduled for release on 2011.07.20:

...And, no, "What is LOVE" is not a cover of the Haddaway song from Night At The Roxbury.
