AKB48’s 25th single, Give Me Five!, has officially gone on racks and sold over a million. I think we are looking at 1.2m at the end of their first week which is totally awesome though they did not crack the million mark on their first day, something which we have probably gotten used to seeing in 2011. The girls have gone on to various music programs such as Music Station and Happy Music to promote their latest single and as what most of the fans have hoped, they performed as a band in all these promotional performances.

I did not highlight this single much on tomoland because I think most of you would have gotten relevant information regarding the single from all other AKB sources and for some extras, I am here to share some 25th single tomochin related stuff only~

For a start, this awesome picture of tomochin that comes along in theatre editions:

A few gifs I found randomly on weibo and Baidu, all featuring tomochin (along with mariko-sama) during their band performances. Being not involved in any of the key instruments, I am thankful that tomochin still had reasonable screentime during performances lol, or else that would have made me so sad.

My favourite is the second one, i think the 2 girls are trying to play some transparent guitar over there XD.

For some random member ai, tomochin twitted that she changed her hairstyle for Music Station into something more girly, to which mariko-sama responded that “rather than it being girly, it’s sexy, Itano-san”. I have decided to have a Member Ai post II soon, the interactions between tomochin and mariko-sama are so silly sometimes that I just want to share. =P
