We are working on the story now, but some shocking news
has arrived, and according to Nikkan Sports,
UpFront announced that Goto Maki (22) will graduate
from Hello! Project. All this since her brother Goto Yuuki (21)
was arrested by the Metropolitan Police Departament,
and caused all the troubles including to other H!P members.
Nikkan Sports also reported that this "graduation"
was also because UpFront had different plans for her,
and she has a different idea for her singer career.

Goto Maki is now having her tour finale concert, and
she commented "Sorry for all the trouble my brother Yuuki
has caused, my future it's uncertain, but I will continue
with my solo activities as a singer, I want to keep
progressing with my music".

There is no "official" announcement from
Hello! Project page, yet. But as far as we know,
the official news so far regarding Goto Maki is
that her single disappeared from online stores
and she won't be participating on
Hello! Project 2008 Winter concert due schedule conflicts.

According to some comments from japanese fans,
Goto Maki won't have a graduation concert and
her last concert is happening now in Omiya's Sonic City (Saitama).

According to fans who are now in the concert and
they are getting insider information, Goto Maki will
continue singing but not with Hello! Project,
she has been looking to keep singing with another company
since last summer when Yuuki's crime happened.
Also, the "graduation" has been something she and
UpFront already knew it would happen and
she still did her best until the last one in Oyama.
