Cover A

Maki Goto sings about "love" in her own words on this third mini-album since moving to Avex!

After a turbulent 2010, the "New Gomaki" has made a brilliant evolution, returning to the Oricon charts. This is the latest release.

This is the third mini-album since her full transfer to Avex, released by her sound production company, which prides itself on its ultra-melody-oriented sound.

Since last fall, Maki Goto has been returning to her roots as a singer, enthusiastically performing acoustic and band live shows, and this album encapsulates the newfound charm of this stellar artist.

Includes five tracks, from refreshingly beautiful ballads to danceable up-tempo songs!

The theme is "love." With all original lyrics, Goto expresses her true meaning of "love" through her own words and vocals. Additionally, Goto's highly ambitious and determined work includes a cover of Miyuki Nakajima's classic "Sora to Kimi no Aida ni," a song she personally selected.

[Song Description] M-1 "Hey..." Even the ordinary days that pass by without a second thought become precious if we're together... Maki Goto's own song of love for a special someone. Ending theme for the April/May episodes of TBS's "20 Mouse"

M-2 "lalala" Always with the one you love! A bright, refreshing, upbeat tune evoking clear blue skies.

M-3 "Sora to Kimi no Aida ni" A bold cover of Miyuki Nakajima's classic, retaining the heartbreak and profound feeling of the original, with a karaoke-like arrangement.

M-4 "Aitai" Another aspect of love: parting. A ballad that evokes the bittersweet feelings of separation over an R&B-infused track.

M-5 "Your Song" You're no longer alone. A fast-paced, rocking, and positive love song that inspires you to look forward and take a big step forward. Ending theme song for Fuji TV's nationwide network program "Miracle Experience! Unbelievable" (April-June)
