This year marks the 25th anniversary of Goto Maki’s CD debut, and she has been announcing a number of anniversary projects.
The music video for the title track and lead song 【prayer】 from the long-awaited mini album “prAyer” to be released on 9/4 has been suddenly released on YouTube. In addition, the digital single 【CLAP CLAP】, which was released in advance, has been chosen as the opening theme for the September episode of Nippon Television’s “Buzz Rhythm 02”.
Maki Goto / prayer -Music Video-
Maki Goto’s dancing in the music video for her new song “CLAP CLAP” has drawn rave reviews, including “Gomaki is back,” “Her dancing is amazing,” and “I can’t wait for her live performance and album.” Meanwhile, the lead song “prayer” is impressive, as it shows Maki Goto wandering around in an exclusive, otherworldly space, searching for herself, and the final fire scene is an emotional explosion that seems like a prologue to the album. Don’t miss the worldview that seems to sync up with the lyrics “Please, Devil.”
And the new album “prAyer” will finally be released in a limited edition with a luxurious BOX. In addition to the CD with all 7 gems, the Blu-ray also includes a limited version of the music video, making-of and off-shot footage, a rare donut analog EP, a 40-page luxurious photo book with completely new photos, a 25th anniversary special baseball shirt, a special acrylic stand, and more. It is an ultimate rare item that is a must-preorder, packed with the world of Maki Goto today. There is no doubt that the songs from this album, which has the same title as the previously announced 25th anniversary solo tour “Maki Goto 25th anniversary live tour 2024 ~ pr∀yer ~”, will be fully deployed in the live performance, making this year’s Maki Goto even more unmissable.
