So, how is Tomo doing? Do her records sell? It's not easy jump to go solo. She was one of my AKB favorites, but her solo music is little too "modern" (don't know any better word) for my taste. Anyway, all the best luck for her and I need to see her movie soon

^Whether her records sell (especially whether they sell well) is IMHO very hard to determine due to how sales are reported by Japanese music charts. In recent years I'd say every artist's reported sales could be called into question since Oricon and Billboard alike have changed several rules on how they come up with their numbers. Billboard has seemingly stabilized their rules, but Oricon keeps coming up with new rules. Then there's digital sales only reports that are equally questionable. However, she's can't be doing too badly IMHO, her concert audience turnout is good and she puts out discography at an amazing rate so clearly a good chunk of people are well invested in making her a successful solo act. She's still making pretty regular appearances on television and radio shows and even started branching into movies (nothing particularly mainstream, but a start is a start).

Thanks. So, doing pretty good. That's great to hear!

I really like OMG and the covers for the album look amazing!! I'll have to see how the sales go I think her first album SWAG got decent sales which isn't too bad.

Her total reported sales for Get Ready is 9502 and was at #10 which isn't too bad. It's what I expected. I think her last album got about 19000 in its first week of sales so again it's a big drop. I love Tomochins solo career and I've bought every single and album but the more I see the sales decline I wonder how long her solo career continues. I don't think her sales will effect her too much. From what I've seen at fan events and concerts she gets at good turnout so I don't think management will be too worried.

Yay new single! I'm still on a high from her new album! The tracks are really good and it's definitley a better album than SWAG was!
