Comrades.

6: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 19:21:32.28 0
I want to see that.

Who would’ve guessed that these two were on this close terms?

10: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 19:25:00.12 0
They’ve been close since way back.

12: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 19:25:45.49 0
It works out nicely how Matsuura’s the sadist and Goto’s the masochist.

15: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 19:26:26.22 0
Ayaya always talks about Gomaki whenever she does concerts.

16: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 19:26:36.30 0
I was left with the impression that they were really close near the end of their time in H!P.

To someone like me who’s been hoping for more Aya-Goma for ten years now, this is just delightful news.

18: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 19:26:55.41 0
Gomaki always sends flowers when Ayaya does a concert.

I actually like how they don’t try to forcibly appeal to everyone how good of friends they are.

21: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 19:27:56.26 0
At the end of the day, these two are the legends of H!P.

24: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 19:29:34.04 0
And they both recognize each others’ talent.

Matsuura-san is the only one Gocchin still keeps in contact with from Up-Front Group.

27: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 19:30:56.01 0
They are the John and Paul of the Heisei Era idol scene.

28: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 19:32:32.88 0
It was thanks to Goto that Morning Musume became national idols, and it was thanks to Matsuura that H!P became a national idol collective.

I’d be pretty surprised if Aya-Goma walked in to the karaoke place I was at.

35: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 19:36:09.07 0
Ayaya used to talk about Gocchin on her Twitter a lot, too.

36: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 19:36:50.76 0
Those two need to do something together.

38: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 19:37:41.87 0
Gocchin should come to one of those Maniac Lives.

39: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 19:37:53.05 0
What about Fujimoto?

41: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 19:39:28.61 0
Apparently she and Fujimoto haven’t met up much since she got married.

42: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 19:40:25.03 0
Ayaya said she receives phone calls from her in the middle of the night.

43: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 19:40:39.18 0
Those two shared the experience of once standing at the top. They must get along pretty well.

47: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 19:42:59.70 0
They’re probably just talking smack about Terada. (laughs)

49: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 19:43:29.68 0
I like those two.

Great news for the Aya-Goma wota.

At a previous concert MC, she referred to her as “that Goto something-or-other…“

58: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 19:45:45.77 0
>>55
That was when Gomaki herself was in the audience.

56: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 19:45:16.07 O
They seem to be surprisingly close.

65: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 19:48:13.64 0
I remember them getting really close all of a sudden around the time of DEF.DIVA. The radio shows they were doing then were fun.

75: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 19:51:04.57 0
Apparently they got close around the time of the Nochiura Natsumi tour, or rather, they hadn’t really talked much up until then. I guess once they did, they noticed how well they got along.

72: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 19:49:37.52 0
The version of Memory Seishun no Hikari sung by these two is amazing no matter how many times I hear it.

76: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 19:51:20.33 0

Their Summer Night Town was nice, too.

Back when I wasn’t interested in H!P, I just randomly came across a H!P video online and even to someone like me who didn’t know a thing about H!P, I could just tell that Gomaki and Ayaya were both top performers.

93: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 20:00:15.73 0
They get each other souvenirs if they travel somewhere, right? And there was a time when they did things together with their whole families.

94: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 20:00:23.71 0
I want them to do a concert together. I wanna hear all those songs again.

98: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 20:02:19.80 0
She once said that even after Gocchin moved to avex, they were still in contact whenever one of them put out a new CD or when they wanted the other to listen to her worries.

99: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 20:02:21.54 0
How about doing a Nochiura Natsumi revival at the end of the year?

105: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 20:03:34.12 0
>>99
That’d be nice. I’d want to see them again.

100: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 20:02:28.07 0
It’s cool how it really feels like they both climbed to the top by their own strength.

104: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 20:03:32.65 0
Even if it’s karaoke, it must be ridiculously high level if it’s them singing. They could just film it and release it as-is.

109: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 20:06:29.27 0
I wonder if these two couldn’t just appear together at some idol festival or something? I don’t think there’s anyone that could be a match for them. (laughs)

116: 名無し募集中。。。2013/07/14(日) 20:11:42.51 0
>>109
Yeah. These two are still extraordinary.

118: 名無し募集中。。。 2013/07/14(日) 20:12:49.35 0
>>116
I wonder just how nervous the other idols appearing there would be. (laughs)

(Note: credit for the following blog translation to Hello-Online.)

That person ☆
From that person (lol) She sent me this!

“SWEET BLACK feat. MAKI GOTO”
That’s right! Goto Maki!

That person ☆ We don’t stay in close communication these days, but sometimes, at strange times like the middle of the night (lol) she’ll call me, or I’ll call her! If something happens, she’ll tell me about it ♪

That person ☆ She sent me something for the first time in a while! She’s got a really easy-to-understand personality, doesn’t she? I’m sure that she’s very pleased with how this album turned out! Because that’s the only time she’ll send me something (lol)

Gocchin ★

To me…
The singing in “Candy” is cute.
“TEAR DROPS with KG” sounds like you, so it’s good.

…Those were my thoughts (lol)

She’s actually a really hard worker, and very disciplined. But she never really shows that side, even a little bit. But that’s what’s so great about her, and what I like. But it would be embarrassing, so I’ll never, ever say that to her face (lol)

This is when it’s good to have a blog (lol)

Hey, Goto Maki ★
Thanks for always sending flowers and coming to see my concerts ♪♪ (lol)

To all you AYAblog readers ☆
Please listen to the album!

Who invited who, what did they sing… so many questions.

At the December Matsuura Aya COTTON CLUB LIVE:

<MC>
On the topic of her hair: “There have been doubts about my hair being a wig now that I’ve colored it black. I was talking to a certain Goto something-or-other (=Gocchin) before the show and she asked me “is that a wig?” That was so depressing for me…“

At the 10/3 (Sat) evening performance of Matsuura’s concert at Nakano:

Matsuura: “All the women, say yay!!”
Women: “Yaaay!!”
Matsuura: “Thank you. Next up, men!!”
Men: “Yaaay!!”
Matsuura: “The band, say yay!!”
Backing band: “Yaaay!!”
Matsuura: “Everyone, yay!!”
Everyone: “Yaaay!!”

Matsuura: “Maybe I should ask this person just in case, too… Gocchin, yay!”
Everyone: “Oooohh!?”
Matsuura: “I can’t hear you, Gocchin. Gocchin, yay!”
Goto: “Yaaay!“
Matsuura: “Thank you. Everyone, say yaaay!!”
Everyone: “Yaaay!!”
Matsuura: “Here we go. I Know!!“

Ayaya likes this sort of thing, saying something like that and making it seem like it’s nothing special.

Aya-Goma are the best.

Henkka: Personally having always been more inclined towards the duo of Aya and Miki, as I was reading through this thread I caught myself thinking “but why aren’t they better friends?!” I think I need a drink to get over how stupid that made me feel.
