Former AKB48 member Itano Tomomi and Nogizaka46 member Shiraishi Mai may be familiar with each other’s work and how their groups were rival groups during the early beginning of Nogizaka46.
But surprisingly the two have never met each other until recently at a Samantha Thavasa event.
Itano posted on her Instagram how she met Shiraishi for the first time and how she has watched her on television, saw her photo album and felt she was cute.
In addition, Itano also posted a photo with Shiraishi Mai and ℃-ute member, Suzuki Airi:
