Miki Fujimotonihongo|Gomattou|ごまっとう| was a one-shot Hello! Project group, similar to the Hello! Project shuffle units, that released one single called "Shall We Love?".

The formation of Gomattou was announced in October 2002. The idea behind the trio was an R&B style dance-based group featuring Hello! Project soloists Maki Goto, Aya Matsuura and Miki Fujimoto. Maki Goto functioned as the leader of the group. Gomattou released their one single "Shall We Love?" on November 20 2002.

Later all the three members did solo versions of the song which all had different arrangements. Miki Fujimoto's version was a more downtempo soul inspired version, and both Maki Goto and Aya Matsuura's versions were—like the original version—inspired by the productions of Kevin "She'kspere" Briggs.

Goto and Matsuura would later work together with Natsumi Abe in the one-off unit Nochiura Natsumi, which later morphed into DEF.DIVA with the addition of v-u-den's Rika Ishikawa. Fujimoto joined Morning Musume (Goto's former band) and also became a supplementary member of Country Musume. In September 2006, Fujimoto and Matsuura have more recently formed a new duo, GAM.
