Oricon Roundup 10/14: Love, Taboo

ORICON ROUNDUP

Koda Kumi's 41st single, TABOO struggled on the charts but managed to just edge out Porno Graffitti to take top honours. TABOO is Kuu's 5th no.1 single despite selling 66.5K, more than twenty thousand copies less than her previous single MOON. In contrast, Porno Graffitti's Love too, Death too's sales were up slightly from their previous single, selling 60K.
GIRL NEXT DOOR's Drive Away / Shiawase no Jouken scored third place but sales were down 10K from their debut's first week.

Takeuchi Mariya's EXPRESSIONS continues to leave its mark on the Album Charts, no.1 for the second week in a row with 132.7K copies sold. The album's sales edge closer towards the half a million mark, hitting just under 438K in only two weeks. Not bad, not bad at all.
