In 2001 she formed the noise rock and punk band Usagi (うさぎ) with three friends from Osaka. She sang and played guitar. After Usagi broke up in 2003, she formed the punk jazz group Midori together with Usagi's bassist, Yoshifumi Kuwano. Midori released three full-length albums, five EPs, and a single. After its dissolution, Gotō focused on her solo career as a musician, as well as a stage, film, and television drama actress. In 2013, she wrote the lyrics for and sang the opening song of the anime Flowers of Evil which is titled "宇宙人" (ep. 4–6, "Aku no Hana -Nakamura Sawa-"). Her song "Sound of Me" was used as the ending theme of the drama Taberudake, where she played the lead role. In May 2016, it was reported that she decided to quit the music industry. She returned under the alias DJ510Mariko on December 24, 2018 with an EP, DEMO. On December 11, 2019 she released her 1st album "Loved by Gainsborough" on her label "nixzm."
