And in midst of Minegishi Scandal, Itano Tomomi announced her graduation. I can't say it's completely unexpected but I am still sad by it. She is one of the first girls I really gravitated towards going into AKB48. I loved how different she looked and her cool gyaru esque style. She was the fashion queen. She stood out among all the other stereotypical looking girls. When Dear J came out, I played it constantly and even now I don't get tired of it. I thought her voice was interesting and her personality was appealing in a whole sea of 'cute' idols. I'll really miss her face. She is one of the founding members and she'll be sorely missed by me. Her units and solo songs have been some of my favourites. I will share them here~♥
I hope she continues her solo career in the future.
Dear J
Faint

And for bonuses, the evolution of Tomochin.
She really grew into her looks...
She is very beautiful now ~♥
