On September 21st, former AKB48's Itano Tomomi made a secret guest appearance at 'KANSAI COLLECTION 2013 AUTUMN & WINTER' at Kyocera Dome. 

This marked Itano's first job after graduating from AKB48 on August 27th. She showed off her new look and said, "I chopped off my bangs and dyed my hair." She added, "I cut it in order to leave my old feelings behind and move on as a soloist."

When Itano appeared on the runway, the crowd broke out in loud screams and cheers. "It was my first job in about 3 weeks, so I was very nervous. I was also nervous in the dressing room. But it was fun!" she expressed.

Regarding her solo work, she stated, "I want to challenge myself to various things. Of course music, but I want to also challenge myself with acting. First, though, I want to hold a solo live."
