Itano Tomomi made her solo debut with her single “Dear J,” becoming the first ever solo artist from popular girl group, AKB48. Adding to her accomplishment, it looks like she has set yet another record with her solo debut!
According to Oricon’s Weekly Single Ranking, “Dear J” has sold 約approximately 163,000 units since its release on January 26th, placing her debut single solidly in second place behind TVXQ’s new Japanese single.
Itano is the first female artist to break 150,000 units since Utada Hikaru’s single, “Flavor Of Life”, nearly four years ago. This also makes Tomochin the first singer debuting from a girl group to sell this many units since ex-Morning Musume member Goto Maki debuted with “Ai no Bakayarou” almost ten years ago. Utada Hikaru and Goto Maki sold 270,000 units and 268,000 units in the first week of sales, respectively.
Congratulations to Itano Tomomi on her achievement!

AKB48板野友美單飛出輯 「脫衣」賣肉被排擠！
日本當紅女子團體「AKB48」的成員板野友美，搶先一步成為首位「單飛」出片的成員，也因為如此，傳出其他團員對她反感，不過她昨日出席公開活動時，還是堅持大家感情很要好。
近年AKB48成員開始各自發展，板野友美成為單飛出片的首位成員，她近日發行單曲《Dear J》，並為了宣傳以性感之姿為雜誌拍寫真，穿上比基尼拍攝誘人養眼的照片。（板野友美誘人美照！http://www.nownews.com/2011/01/26/340-2684908.htm）
板野日前在電視節目獻唱個人單曲，但前田敦子等團員坐在觀眾席上都毫無反應，讓外界揣測成員們是否對她單飛眼紅；但她在品牌活動上表示有把專輯給團員們聽，還不知道大家的感想如何。
