From Rekuru: Tomomi Itano, of AKB48, has released her solo song, “Dear J,” and the PV preview. Well, I guess she didn’t release it since it was linked via radio rip, but her fans are still happy.

In the preview, you see all these boy fans, so it’s safe to assume the single will sell well. Check out the song and preview below! More »
