Y.kudo, T. Ishimura, Y. Yatsu, T. Shimokawabe, N. Vasquez, and
N. Kawai (TokyoTech) report on behalf of the MITSuME collaboration:

We observed the error box of GRB070612B (Grupe et al., GCN 6511)
with the 3-color 50cm MITSuME Telescope at Akeno, Japan starting at
11:46:53 June 12 UT, 5.1 hours after the trigger.   
In the co-added images of Ic, Rc, and g' bands, we did not detect
any new source in the XRT error circle.  The 3-sigma limiting
magnitudes based on USNO-B1.0 (I-band) and NOMAD (R-band,g'-band)
stars are following.
