Just a Casual fan (Itsumo Genki)

Isilie was never much of a Goto Maki fan back when she was a member of Morning Musume, but with the release of her mini-album, Isilie became curious to find out more about the current Goto. She enjoyed the behind the scenes video clips of Maki as she started out with Avex, and was pleased to see a hard-working, involved with the direction of her music/career Maki – very different from what you’ll see in any behind the scenes Hello! Project video.

She talks about Maki’s split from Hello! Project, many of the probable reasons that led to her finally going through with the split with Hello! Project and the eventual joining with Avex. She reviews a few of the songs from the mini-album and comes to the conclusion that she likes the post-H!P Maki more than the H!P Maki. Whichever kind of Maki fan you might be (or even if you’re not a Maki fan at all), this is definiately an interesting read.
