After dislocating her elbow in May, AAA member Ito Chiaki has finally recovered enough to come back onto the stage!

AAA is currently in the middle of their nationwide "AAA 'Buzz Communication' Tour 2011", but due to the severity of her injury, Ito had to skip nine of these performances to focus on her recovery.

Worried fans have been sending her messages over Twitter and even trended hashtags such as #chiakifight and #AAABC (AAA's official hashtag) to let Ito know that her fans were concerned about her condition. On June 27th, Ito sent out some encouragement of her own by tweeting, "I was in a cast for a while. I'll do my best at rehabilitation so I can speed up my recovery and be able to see you all," reassuring her fans that her recovery was coming along at a good pace.

Ito officially made her return to the tour on June 3rd, causing fans to erupt in cheers when the curtain revealed seven members rather than six.

"Being able to stand on stage today, hearing everyone's words of joy, being told 'welcome back' all the way up to the encore, and seeing how concerned everyone was about (my condition)... I'm so full of gratitude and delight that I can't put it into writing here," she wrote on her official blog later that day.

Congratulations to Ito Chiaki on her recovery!
