Information
Debut
Goto entered the Public eye during the success of her band Midori. The members of Midori first met when they were members of two different bands. Goto was a member of the band Usagi along with Kuwano Yoshifumi. The two were friends with a fellow band in Osaka known as Teromeya. The two expressed in interest in wanting to play in band with Teromeya's drummer Kozen Yoshitaka. Soon enough the three got their wishes when the two band's broke-up. In July 2003, Midori first formed, at the time the group was a cover band, playing the songs in Kayokyoku musical style. At the height of the bands success they sadly announced their breakup on December 25, 2010, with their last show titled Sayonara, Goto-San being played on December 28, 2010.
