It doesn't have that terrible youtube quality

I'm pretty sure that Dear J is going to get #2 on the weekly Oricon charts and am very happy for her, next time they should try placing the release date on a slower week so she can get #1 :)

Tomochin meets Avril Lavigine and exchanges singles!!!

With Tomochin releasing Dear J and Avril in Japan promoting her new single What The Hell, they got to meet up and exchange singles!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5pIMqjleWAM&feature=player_embedded

This is exciting because I loved Avril's song "Girlfriend" back when it came out(I was vactioning in Mexico and watching MTV and the MV was on and I thought it was the Pussycat Dolls XD) and I lover her new song. I also really like Tomochin and her new song, so them meeting was exciting.

Avril kinda seemed like a bitch with her fake smiling and looked like a complete airhead. I think the reason is because she's in a different country and she doesn't want to mess up or say anything wrong, she obviousley doesn't know how loose Japan is though even though she's pretty popular there and has probably been multiple times X]

Tomochin looks so happy and natural in the video and was very excited to meet Avril because she has been a fan of hers since middleschool, she also said her favorite song from her was Girlfriend.

Dear J debuts at #2 on daily oricon with over 80K sales!!!

Dear J sold exactly 86,861 copies on it's first day of release!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm so excited! She did it!!!

I said that she'd sell 80-100K first week and everyboday said that I was crazy, but look at what happened!!!!

I love Tomochin so much and has faith in her :) This will be one of those funny things I'll remember in 5 years when she graduates, because even with a sucessful solo career I know AKB48 won't let her go

I would still be happy for her even if she didn't sell as much, but she did!

I hope her second solo single comes out soon and that the rest of her career is sucessful :)

Aslo my copies of the single have been shipped out allready and should be here soon

Tomochin × Samantha Thavasa

Samantha Thavasa is like a really popular purse company for young woman. Tomochin is the new spokesperson or "muse" for the company. Shes promoting the brand with her new song Dear J. Tomochin has been a long time fan of Samantha Thavasa and is probably super excited to be the new "muse". A bag that Tomochin had worn will be up for auction for charity. Since Tomochin is the "most fashionable member" these bags will probably sell like crazy, more then they allready have which I guess they're selling really good, and Japanese girls always like to have the latest trends. I wonder who the lucky wota is thats gonna pay like $309627805623653257 for her bag XD

Tomochin in Weekly Playboy

Tomochin is on Weekly Playboy yet again :)

Shes so beautiful and has become quite the little gravure idol, I wonder what she would have done if you showed these to her 6 years ago and told her it was her in the future

Do you think she saves them? If I were on the covers all the time I'd start a collection of them, like buy 2-5 copies and save them for when I'm older. Just a little something to show her children XD pictures of her in bikkinis and lingure

Itano Tomomi, the second center of AKB48's new single Sakura no Ki ni Narou?

Today some previews were shown of AKB48's newest single "Sakura no Ki ni Narou"

Tomomi was all ready in the center of the Type B covers that were seen EARLIER

In the preview for the new single she is shown in the center singing with Maeda À la W Matsui

Does this mean that Tomochin is a double AKB48 ceneter with Aachan?!?!

She deffinatley could pull it off. With her solo debut and rising popularity it is possible that she could move up a number or two in the next election. We all have to support her and watch her grow as an idol up until graduation day, because we all know Sakura time is graduation time :'(

But Tomochin has a good 3-6 years left in AKB48 so lets all make the best of it!!!

By the way this is an amzing song, AKB48 ballads are always so good and heartwarming. I can't wait for the 21 minute PV that includes a mini drama.

Do you think Tomochin would make an good co-center? Leave a comment telling me what you think!

Dear J C/W Previews

Dear J is going to be released on the 26th!!! Thats a week away!!!

The previews for the  C/W tracks TUNNEL, Stay by my side, and Thank you have all been released!

TUNNEL is a pop song. Its REALLY catchy and my favorite C/W so far. It would be really good for AMVs. I think most people will like this song more because it has such a fun vibe to it.

Stay by my side is a a slow ballad. It's kinda boring but all slow songs sound boring to me. It sounds nice but it is me least favorite of her C/Ws, the chorus is really good so that makes up for the things I don't like about it.

Thank you is a really nice R&B Power pop type song. Its really good C/W song. It kinda remind me of a Kana Nishino song but with Tomochin singing

TUNNEL and Stay by my side: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkLVYIFPQgQ

Thank You: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DQNjOdUXOn8

These are really promising songs and I hope all of you buy all 3 versions and support Tomochin! If this single goes well she could have a really good solo career going for her, even when she graduates AKB48. Even if you can't buy all versions try to buy at least one because one purchase can make a difference.
