How To Take A Major, Risky Step In Your Career…

Imagine waking up this morning, going to IntlWota.com after going through your morning e-flurry, and finding news that Maki Goto was leaving Up-Front Works to continue her solo career elsewhere, although she has not yet signed with another label or agency (and probably couldn’t until released from her UFA contract).
Maki, with her stellar track record, won’t have much trouble maintaining her solo career from hereon in. I’m curious of how she’ll sound on her first post-H!P recordings, of course. Reports are that this departure was in the works for awhile, which would contradict a report from Nikkan Sports that her brother’s legal troubles had something to do with it. The long-planned departure would also suggest why her last H!P-overseen album, How To Use SEXY, didn’t have a numbered title, as is traditional with H!P artists.
Ganbatte, Gocchin.
