Biography
In 1999, Maki Goto was selected as the only member for the 3rd generation of Morning Musume. Their first single after Goto joined, "Love Machine" sold over a million copies, over nine times the amount of copies they had sold for their previous single. During her time in Morning Musume she was one of the founding members of Pucchi Moni and she started a solo
singing career in 2001 with the single "Ai no Bakayarō" (愛のバカやろう). Until her graduation from Morning Musume she was one of the leading vocalists in most of the songs released. Post-graduation she has mostly concentrated on her solo career and occasionally on limited time Hello! Project units such as Gomattou, Nochiura Natsumi and DEF.DIVA. As time has passed, she has increasingly concentrated on acting in addition to singing.
In early 2007, Goto was chosen to be a member of Morning Musume Tanjō 10-nen Kinentai
(モーニング娘。誕生10年記念隊) - a unit created to celebrate Morning Musume's 10th anniversary as a group. Morning Musume Tanjō 10-nen Kinentai also consists of Natsumi Abe, Kaori Iida, Risa Niigaki and Koharu Kusumi. Their single, Bokura ga Ikiru MY ASIA (僕らが生きるMY ASIA), was released on January 24, 2007.
Her latest single, Secret (シークレット), was released on April 11, 2007.
Trivia
