Of course a Johnny's single has to be first, so I won't go into depth with this week's #1 single. I am surprised though that Tsubasa Imai, from the duet Tacky & Tsubasa, had released a single! I see that Kana Nishino's single made it #3 on Oricon which I am very happy about. In addition, Erina Mano came in at #5 which I thought could have came at a higher position since it is a really good song. Then again, not much promotion was done to try to sell the single (for example, it has not been featured on music channels like M-ON, Space Shower and VMC). I do like CHiAKi KURiYAMA's single, Kii Kitano's single but not so much Minori Chihara's. I still do not understand how that AWFUL #6 song is still charting on the top ten. That song sucks, I hate music that is supposed to be funny!
