Former Morning Musume member Goto Maki (22) says she has decided to get back to work. In the first update to her blog since last December, she revealed that she is currently staying in Los Angeles for about a month. She apologized to fans for the trouble caused by the robbery arrest of her younger brother Yuuki (21) last year and her own sudden decision a week later to quit the Hello! Project collective. Her brother’s court case is ongoing. Maki said she had thought long and hard about her future before deciding to take the first step back towards her musical career, though she didn’t give any details. Yuuki had a brief pop career and is married with a child. He was arrested last October and again in December on robbery charges.
