Goto Maki: Going back and forth with her ex-lover despite having a husband of 2 children, The Masked Singer Champion

Maki Goto is a Japanese singer and model. She was born in 1985 and debuted in 1999 in the girl group Hello! Project and Morning Musume. At the time, Goto Maki was just over 13 years old.

She became the 2nd best-selling solo artist in Hello! Project before leaving the group in 2007. However, Goto Maki's career was not smooth because of his noisy private life. Her debut single with the group, "Love Machine", topped the Oricon charts and sold over a million copies, marking an impressive start to her career.

During his time at Morning Musume, Goto quickly became the lead vocalist and one of the most prominent members. She also participated in many of Hello! Projects such as Petitmoni, Gomattō, Nochiura Natsumi, and Def.Diva. In 2001, she began her solo career with the single "Ai no Bakayarō", which also reached number one on the Oricon charts. Her debut album, "Makking Gold 1", debuted in 2003 and peaked at number four on the Oricon album chart.

In 2007, Goto announced his departure from Hello! Project and pausing his music career. However, just a year later, she returned to music when she signed with Avex Group's Rhythm Zone label. Under the name Sweet Black feat. Maki Goto, she released her debut mini album "Sweet Black" in 2009. In 2010, she switched to the Avex Trax label and released her second mini album "One", marking her official return as a singer.

On October 20, 2007, the singer's younger brother Goto Yuki (former member of the band EE Jump) was arrested for theft with two accomplices. The group stole 80 coils of electrical cables worth 1 million yen (166 million VND) from a construction site in Edogawa, Tokyo. At that time, it was reported that Goto Maki was dating an accomplice of his brother. The couple is said to have met at Goto Yuki's wedding 2 years earlier.

His brother's theft and love rumors make Goto Maki rush to announce his departure from Hello! Project just 8 days later. The singer's love affair with the criminal is also said to have ended quickly. Later, Goto Maki's younger brother appeared in court and received a sentence of 5 years and 6 months in prison. The singer went into hiding, not showing up after her brother was convicted.

In 2008, Goto Maki made a comeback by posting a video blog of his own. Later that year, Maki reappeared under the new stage name Avex and continued her singing career as a solo artist for many years. She also debuted as a radio host and model.

Maki's career was again marred by controversy in 2019 after Japanese media alleged that Maki was married and had two children but was back and forth with an unnamed ex-boyfriend. Maki later admitted to the allegation and apologized to the audience. The singer said that she felt regret and reflected deeply on her mistakes as a wife and mother. It is known that Goto Maki's husband accepted to forgive her after she directly apologized to him.

Goto Maki's husband sued her ex-boyfriend and demanded 3.3 million yen in damages for causing Goto to be unfaithful to him, and submitted Line messages between Goto and her ex-boyfriend as evidence in court, the Sankei Shimbun reported.

This noise has caused Goto Maki to receive a lot of controversy from the audience, who think that she is a public figure but has substandard actions and thoughts. By 2020, Goto Maki did more in the field of content creation by opening a YouTube channel specializing in games and beauty. She also returned to performing and collaborating with other artists. After winning the title of The Masked Singer Japan Season 2, Goto Maki released Songs of You and Me!, her first album since 2011.

Despite many times entangled in love noise, Goto Maki still developed a successful career. In September, she held a solo tour called Goto Maki 25th Anniversary Live Tour 2024 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of her debut. At the age of 39 and having 2 children, Goto Maki still impresses with her youthful beauty.

In addition to his music career, Goto has also acted and appeared in many TV shows and movies. She has shown her acting abilities in films such as "Seishun Energy: Check It Out, Yo!" and "Hoshizora no Shita, Aoi Kumo no Ue". Her versatility has helped her maintain her popularity and love from fans.

Recently, Goto has tried his hand at his new role as a VTuber, a phenomenon that is very popular in Japan. With the YouTube channel "ぶいごまチャンネル Vô60;" 276; 真希", she has gained a large following and continues to maintain her presence in the entertainment industry. She regularly shares videos about her daily life, live performances, and new music projects.

Goto Maki is not only a talented singer but also a cultural icon who has overcome many challenges to assert her place in the Japanese entertainment industry. Her career is a testament to perseverance and passion, and she continues to be an inspiration to many generations of young artists.
