Checked out http://teamtomo.com because I was so curious, despite the disclaimer on the front page:

You should not enter if you cannot believe your loyalty into Tomo

Anyway, its pretty cool, and nice to see Tomo and the staff posting new pics. If there was one of these for my oshi, I would definitely use it!

First tip is to follow Tomochin and the staff's accounts so you can see all the new stuff. Hope they keep posting there.

Oh, love the cover image too...

[SomethingWild]

This just occurred to me... Could this site be a way to measure her popularity?

To see how many register, where they are from and what kind of content they like? This will show what her fans like best about her: music (which songs, etc), fashion, variety, etc. Precious data to help determine her future path.

If we take that a step further you could speculate that they're trying to establish is her following is large enough for a proper non-AKB48 solo career. So basically... If you register to that website you want Tomochin to graduate!  j/k

Tomochin just keeps getting more and more beautiful

[Jul3]

Tomo posted two new pics at Teamtomo!

 

I don't know why it's so exciting when she posts at Teamtomo... I don't normally follow her or her blog/google+ updates, but this whole Teamtomo thing has made it more interesting and exciting. Plus, everytime you log on there is a huge wall of beautiful Tomo photos...

[Masa]

^Props for uploading the pix!

I don't know why it's so exciting when she posts at Teamtomo... I don't normally follow her or her blog/google+ updates, but this whole Teamtomo thing has made it more interesting and exciting.

Yeah, I agree that it does feel more exciting when she posts on TeamTomo. I guess it's because it's her own private community so it feels more intimate. Anyways I hope Tomochin stays active on TeamTomo especially since she doesn't post that often on other social media sites.

Interview with Tomomi Itano

Tomomi Itano was kind enough to grant us an interview. She talks about her debuts with AKB48, their recent live at Tokyo Dome and the launch of her own social network !

You are only 21 and yet, you are one of the most beloved idol of the most popular band in Japan. How do you feel about that?

I am happy to be well known as a member of AKB48, however I am not good enough as a solo artist, so that I must do my best to improve myself. I often exercise like voice training and swimming and so on.

What are your favorite artists, those who influence you the most?

Female group, SPEED.

Some people are calling you “AKB48’s fashion leader”, what do you think about it?

I am not a so called fashion girl, just choose clothes according to daily feelings. But, of course I am glad to hear lots of my fan describe about me as pretty or respect my style.

Speaking about fashion, what are your favorite brands?

I love brand, « AULA AILA », which is the local brand in Japan. I buy imported brands as well.

You are a 1st generation member, why did you decide to become an AKB48?

I was a big fan of SPEED because they were not only good singers but dancers and wanted to be artist like them. When I was junior high school time, my mother recommended me to apply AKB audition.

So you were only 14 when you became a AKB48 member and you went through some really hard times, did you ever consider quitting the band?

My friends were enjoying normal school life freely when I got lessens for AKB. I thought I was sacrificing my time. Also the early era of AKB, not so many audiences come to our AKB theatre, it made us so nervous about our future. Everyday I forced myself not to give up until another more three hard stuff occurred. The reason why I could continue until now is I had good friends in AKB, most of the are same generation to me, all of us never given up our future’s dream to be star whatever actress or artist.

What’s your favorite AKB48’s song and why?

That is « Beginner », because the song is danceable and make me so high.

AKB48 was recently on stage at Tokyo Dome, congratulations! How was it?

Our dream has come true. So, I did my best through 3 days. I am proud of my performance as the best of my career.

Now that you’ve made it to the Tokyo Dome, what’s your next big goal?

I wanna be at the same stage of Tokyo Dome as solo artist, in near future.

You’ve just launched your social network, Team Tomo. Is it something you are proud of? How was your fans’ reaction to it?

I love photo and text from my fans, and I also do comment on the contents from them. Especially, I found my new fun on having some photos modified by my fans, they make me happy. We just started this trial, so I wish everyone support me and my staff to improve the service. Please stay tuned.

There’s a lot of people loving you over here, in Europe, would you like to perform as a solo artist in Europe someday?

I’d love to do, though I have few opportunities to visit Europe at the time being. Especially I wish to go to Paris, its city view should be beautiful. If I could take some snaps for making my photo book, it must be so nice.

What do you like to do during your days off?

Sometimes I spend my time at home, Sometimes I go to Tokyo Disney land.

I was told you just love eating! What’s your favorite meal?

I love SOBA. I am good for cooking, my mother was a good coach.

Do you have a message for your French and Belgian fans?

I am quite surprised and happy to know that I have supporters in Europe. I hope to show my performance in your countries in the future, but it will take more time. So, please join my social network TeamTomo in order to communicate, and find your own fun just as I did in this virtual world.
