Asides from Tomomi Itano making her solo debut with the single, Dear J, asides that she is the first member of AKB48 that made a solo debut, it seems that she has other achievements under her sleeve!
According to Oricon’s Weekly Single Ranking, Dear J has sold approximately 163,000 units since its release last January 26th, placing her debut single solidly in second place behind Yamashita Tomohisa’s fourth solo single, Hadakanbo.
Aside from that, Itano is the first female artist to break 150,000 units since Utada Hikaru’s single, Flavor Of Life, nearly four years ago. Also, it 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.
From all of us here, congratulations Tomochin on your achievement!
