Go go Gocchin!
Since Gocchin is coming back some kind soul made this site for trying to make people arrange Gomaki Ganbare meetings to support Gocchin and her comeback. I just thought I'd advertise it a little... So please visit the site! ^_^ It's a nice idea!
My own Gomaki (how weird I never call her that) present is Yanpapa. So if you like to use torrents here's a great chance for you to see the best drama featuring H!P members ever! I really love this drama and I'd sincerely recommend it to any Gocchin, Nagase Tomoya (from TOKIO) or Japanese drama fan. Or to anyone, in that matter. :)
YAAAA～～ Can you tell how happy I am? :D I'm just waiting for this to really become something, I mean that she really would have a solo career ahead. But at this time I'm quite positive about it; she must have signed up with some agency as she's doing all this... And they seem to be investing at least something in her, she's in LA and all after all! Is she still with UFA? Don't know, but as some smart person noticed (damixedplate at H!O article's comment section) the photos in her blog don't say "(C) UP-FRONT AGENCY" as they used to but "(C) GOTO MAKI official blog" instead. See?
(Aww, the latter one is so cute... I remember when I was little and love things like that!) Also there must be a reason why all the previous posts are erased. And well... how could it be "official" if it was only her personal blog?
But could my SOME BOYS! TOUCH CD have arrived at a better time? :) I must say: the more I oppose the PV the more I love the song. ♪
Deep, deep in the jungles of Madagascar...
...there lives a Maki. It's a very rare species and lately it has been feared to be extinct. But if we're really lucky maybe we'll be able to catch a glimpse of one... Wait! Can you see?
What a wonderful moment! A Maki stepping out from the jungle! We are here witnessing a historical moment! But why is she wearing only underwear? Maybe that's why she hadn't been doing so well... Poor Maki had been underclothed and thus freezing even in the deep jungles of Madgascar.
Don't be afraid, Maki is very used to people taking photos of her and allows tourists to come very near before taking fright. Actually, with time, she has learned to pose in a way that satifies photo-greedy tourists very well.
...like that. Let's take one close-up still, shall we?
Not like that, you baka! That's a stupid pose! And could you please put a bit more on...?
Well that's a lot better.
To start talking clearly, I really wonder what they were thinking when they decided to put that one as the cover. The pose is really stupid. I think they should have used the back cover photo, it's loads better. Or even that one when she's coming from the jungle (booklet scan 4). Please Gocchin, wear a little bit more on your future career! I really prefer those photos with a little bit more clothes...
Instead of going for the limited edition (although if I remember right the limited edition DVD includes the Face Ver. of the PV which is the only one I like) I decided to get the regular edition with the first press booklet. And it was worth it because besides these jungle photos there were also these two:
Not that I have anything against jungles, but this was a bit too much.
I love CDs with photos on them but couldn't they have Gocchin on that, not that stupid jungle? Well, anyway. :)
SOME BOYS! TOUCH
is the catchiest song! I really, really like it. I guess at first I had a bit of culture shock when I saw the PV. I can't say anything but that Japanese are being just as exploitive of men as they are of women. O_O There could never be two guys dressed like that in a Western music video...
I have had the impression that also many others think that the PV goes a little too far. I couldn't agree more. I might not sound like it but I really don't have anything against being sexy, and I think a style of that kind suits Gocchin very well. But it's two different things, being sexy and being... well like she is in the PV. Her last concert is a good example of mindblowing Gocchin that is not slutty at all (only for SB!T and that hideous pink last costume maybe). As I said the Face Ver. of SB!T is great, but the other versions are too much for me.
In my opinion, UFA could also finally understand that these girls don't have to be half-naked to be smoking hot. The Resonant Blue costumes are a good direction I think. They're clothes, not that kind of "hey, is that a skirt or a belt you're wearing?". Yes, go Resonant Blue!
But anyway, this is one of those songs I could listen to nonstop. The melody on the chorus is great and I love the instrumentals just as much!
ALL OF US
I like this one too. It's very listeneable. I mean that it's not great or very memorble or anything awesome anyway, but a song that's very easy to listen to. It's something that's good to have after the intensivity of SB!T. Nothing special, but I still like it.
Anyone wanna know what's with that jungle in Madagascar? That's because this is what "maki" means in Finnish. Feel free to seek for more information in wikipedia. :)
Aww, cute isn't she?

This change in the photos copyright is good enough proof to me, Gocchin is up to something. Something good =D
I never had really watched SB!T PV before.... Just seen some excerpts on the end of some Uta Doki! episodes back when she released her last album, I think, and I had no interest in her solo career. So, when you said "Japanese are being just as exploitive of men as they are of women", I had no idea what you were talking about, and I had a bad feeling about it, but I still followed the link and... well, what can I say? I guess someone on the staff for this PV watched too much Hard Gay.....
I love her last concert <3 Interesting how, except for Mikitty, I've only got interested in all the solo careers after I watched a concert of them - Ayaya, Nacchi and then Gocchin. That makes me believe I should look for a Yuuko concert next...
Yes, please download it! It's GREAT!
"I guess someone on the staff for this PV watched too much Hard Gay....."
Haha I never thought of that! :D So that must be the reason...
Watching Gocchin's solo concert got me evetually hooked although I had liked her before that too. And I'm also liking Ayaya more and more now that I've seen GAM's concertb (her interaction with the crowd is amazing!). I guess these girls are really at their best when performing live! I should watch a Nacchi and a Yuuko concert too maybe... I'm a Nacchi fan (her last singe, I mean Iki wo Kasanemashou did that for me) but as I love Gocchin and Ayaya more because of their concerts, I should probably try that for Nacchi too. And Yuuko just deserves it anyway. :)
"Some Boys! Touch" is a great song but it was the epitome of the image UFA was pushing on her at the time. I'm so happy I wasn't the only one who felt the same about it (liked the song, opposed the PV).
Well, let's give our favorite lemur her due (I had no idea "maki" meant lemur in Finnish. Thanks for the Surprise Finnish Lesson).
