ORICON ROUNDUP: Tohoshinki recorded their 3rd #1 single this week, firmly cementing their popularity in the Japanese Industry. The Korean band’s ballad Doushite Kimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimattandarou posted the group’s best first week sales with over 68K sales. Aragaki Yui’s debut single Make my day debuted at #2 with 53K while Fukumimi’s DANCE BABY DANCE / Natsu wa Kore Kara Da! was #3 with just 21K.
Last week’s no.1 love the world, held on to the top 10 at no.8 while ARASHI continue selling big, one spot higher at no.7.

The biggest disappointment of the week was Kusumi Koharu’s Papancake which sold a measly 12K and couldn’t even garner a top 10 position on a weak chart. As you may remember, I did suggest that this single was far less catchy than her previous ones and with the surge of Karari releases lately, Papancake suffered immensely.

From lows to highs, Canaria Club’s 5th single Hitomi ga Kirakirara rocketed to no.22 with the group’s best first week sales. Truly deserving for what is an awesome new song from the CAN’S and the A~rias. Look out for a full review sometime soon!


Berryz Koubou’s Yuke Yuke Monkey Dance dropped significantly (don’t all H!P singles?) to no.35 selling a reasonable 2K.

Not too much to report on the Album front this week. Kimaguren’s new album debuted at no.1 with very humble sales. TUBE was the only other new entrant in the top 5, with chart returns from GReeeen, ayaka and the love song compilation, Koi no Uta. Seiyuu/Singer/Actress/Whatever, Hirano Aya’s debut album RIOT GIRL sold pretty well (for her) at 22K and no.6 on the chart. Last week’s no.1 PANIC FANCY drops all the way to no.9.
