From Wiki.theppn
Gomattou (ごまっとう) was a one-shot Hello! Project unit.
History
Gomattou was formed in October of 2002 as a dance-based group with an R&B style. It consisted of three Hello! Project soloists: Goto Maki, Matsuura Aya, and Fujimoto Miki. Their only single reached #1 on the Oricon charts.
Gomattou has been inactive since its first release, although the three members later took part in several other one-shot H!P units. Goto Maki and Matsuura Aya would be part of Nochiura Natsumi and DEF.DIVA in 2004 and 2005, respectively, while Matsuura and Fujimoto Miki would form GAM in 2006.
