Japanese "Finger Logo"

AKB48 member Tomomi Itano, 19, popularly called Tomo-chan by fans, takes part in a promotional event for wireless mobile operator EMobile’s new commercial, “Finger Logo,” in Tokyo on Wednesday.

The pose, which is repeatedly used during the commercial, was “difficult to master,” Itano said.
