This year marks the 25th anniversary of Goto Maki’s CD debut and she has just announced the release of a new song.
It has been announced that their first new single in about 13 years, “CLAP CLAP”, will be released exclusively via digital download on July 31st.
It will be distributed by various subscription services and major download sites.
At the same time, the single’s cover photo was also revealed for the first time.
The released jacket is constructed with artwork that foreshadows the “resurrection” and “advent” of Maki Goto, as if she were waking up in a coffin.
In this song, Goto Maki, as she is now, powerfully sings about everything from a strong view of women to the delicate psychology of women that lies at the opposite end of the spectrum.
The upper and danceable sound also evokes the catchiness of their idol days, while the vocals have evolved to be more powerful.
The song is packed with CLAP elements that make it a fun song to sing along with the audience at live shows.
The long-awaited new song release marks the 25th anniversary of the release of the CD “LOVE Machine / Morning Musume” on September 9, 1999.
The new song has generated a lot of buzz and attention not only from fans, but also from the general public, and this announcement has already answered the many inquiries about the details of the new song’s release.
In addition, Maki Goto has announced that she will be holding the “Maki Goto 25th Anniversary Live Tour 2024 ~ pr∀yer ~”, which will be the culmination of her 25th anniversary. Advance applications for official SNS tickets will start at 12:00 on Thursday, June 27th.
The (Ticket with Bonuses) will come with a luxurious bonus of a 25th limited edition design penlight (not for sale) and a farewell gift after the show, and a ticket upgrade program is also planned to allow fans to enjoy Maki Goto’s 25th live concert even more.
There are voices of anticipation for the release of new music, and with a string of major announcements in the wings, we can’t take our eyes off Maki Goto’s activities to mark her 25th anniversary.
