These infos are kinda old since it's rare to get anything from Goto before (trust me. I mistook his name as "Akira" rather than Hiromi). It was said that Goto started playing the violin at the age of 3 (prodigy!) but his memory is very vague. If you have a very keen eyes and loves to look at the people on the back, I'm pretty sure you have a glimpse of him playing for KATTUN, Tackey and Tsubasa, NEWS, Hey Say Jump, etc...He's also present in plays like PLAYZONE, Dreamboys, Takizawa Kakumei and V6.
He said that the reason why he joined JE is because he's good in violin and sports so he can have a use of it (sounds like Aiba-chan to me... playing basketball against SMAP? Anyone?)
He loves cat *meow*
He graduated from Clark High School, which apparently, has an English major subject and is known to send their students abroad. Goto lived in Australia for some time so aside from Keito Okamoto, Goto can speak the language. On the Junior 2007 concert (forgot the name!) he usually hang out with the International Juniors, namely, Golf, Mike and Joey Tee. He onced asked Joey Tee to speak in English when their talking but said "ganbarre" to him. (lol), so, he spoke to Golf and Mike ^^;
My favorite Goto story (as it includes my favorite people), On the way to the concert venue, Goto forgot his violin! Yodogawa (Yodi) asked him what's the problem and after a minute or two of staring, he said he forgot his violin. He went back alone to get it, yet still on time. According to Totsuka Shota (Totsu of ABC-Z), Goto is a hearty eater (I can now imagine him, Akun and Yori with a huge smile on their face while eating! Add Rikiya too :P). He's scared of the dark. Can't go to the bathroom cos it's dark when NEWS went to Taiwan and then there's a storm and massive black out (lol)
(Anya's favorite story) On the "Takizawa Enbujou" he made them play the Niko ( A chinese stringed instrument. I think if you watch one of Do As Infinity Shinjitsu no Uta PV, you'll see a girl playing Niko at the back) since it's like violin. But it's difficult and thought he cannot play it. Yet, Goto was dedicated to learn the instrument he even stayed with his niko teacher and definitely learned how to play it. So, he ended up playing the niko. His mom, sister, cousin and aunt went and watched him. He's such a prodigy isn't he?
One of his hobby is fishing. Paging Mr. Satoshi Ohno of Arashi, another potential fishing buddy ^^
Yonemura Daijiro (for those who forget about his existence, him, get lost lol), promised Goto that both of them will go on the top of Mt. Fuji, but apparently, Yone went without him. (So don't say they hate each other). Also, both him and Yone loves to visit the places they haven't been. Travel buddies!
On the recent Playzone, he said that he's weak on holding his laughter.
On the recent Dreamboys, Subaru made him tell the notes of his farts.
With a huge help of Anya's friend, I managed to get the article translated into English about the other Question? thoughts of having a new member. Let me say this, that I still feel devastated and not yet used watching Question? without Yonemura, but when I learned that it was Goto who replaced him, I was like, yes! I like him better than the former person who was rumored to replace him (and I wouldn't be doing this pimp post that was, like, last year?). Anyhow, I'll be quoting them, and i'm asking Anya if I could hotlink the article or put the whole article here. Quoting Akun will be like the whole thoughts and reactions of the members.
Akun: Don’t worry, don’t worry. I’ve been feeling that you were a member since long time ago.
Fujiie&Yody: What!?
Ishigaki: that’s kind of creepy.
Akun: No! I’ve been feeling that Goto was a member of Question?, too! Right, Goto?
And my favorite:
Ishigaki: Though, it’s true that we’ve been playing music together since long time ago. Goto was there on the stages on which we(Question?) are.
Akun :That’s why I was like…..”so what?”when told that “Goto has joined Question?.”
Fujiie: Nothing changes. Why did Goto joined Question? anyway? Did you say that you want to join?
Goto: No, staff told me to join….
Ishigaki: So you didn’t care if you join or not!!
Goto: No, no, I said “I want to join” so I’m here.
Ishigaki: Then, why did you want to join?
Goto: Well…..I thought I can actually create the music if I join a group, not only play one. (lol)
Akun: Is that the only reason!? You wanted to join not because you like us!
Fujiie: All that is our one-sided love…..
They're all happy to have another one whom they can tease and play around. *nods* Akun is not the center of their attention anymore, cos they have a little "bundle of joy" again. But compared to Hashimoto, this little bundle of joy is legal.
**Hopefully, this woud help people to understand Goto used to be a member of Question?.
I mentioned before on how I got acquainted with Goto. But for the new one, it all started when Kousaka Masato, Ishigaki Daisuke and Yodogawa Yoshihiro, as well Goto Hiromi sang a medley of Mou Kimi Igai Aisenai+Kizuna+ Care on the October 7, 2007 of Shounen Club. He sometimes pops up in Shounen Club, when a violinist is needed. I still have some mp3s and let's see for mp4 I ripped for my Yonemuu (my ipod). Keep an eye and I'll upload the other stuff I have on my hard disk.
Another addition: I forgot where I got this, but it's on my Hard disk. This is Julia with Kousaka, Goto, Yodi, and Gaki (and Fukushi as well). Not the best song Goto performed but, I just want to say, he can sing ^^
So, yeah, he used to be with Question? so let's get over it okay? :P
