NEW ENTRY: THE IDOLM@STER SideM WORLD TRE@SURE 03
The latest entry in WORLD TRE@SURE series keeps alive the franchise’s tradition of scoring high ranks during the first week of sales. The third installment featured Kento Ito (S.E.M), Shohei Komatsu (THE kogadou) and Keisuke Furuhata (Mofumofuen) for the Spanish-inspired tune, “Baile Apasionado“. The single sold a bit under 7.500 copies, ranking at #13.
#29
NEW ENTRY: Hiroyuki Yoshino “Jounetsu Anthology”
The second release in two months for Hiroyuki Yoshino dropped last week. “Jounetsu Anthology” presented stronger sales figures than its predecessor, “Rainy Nighter”. “Jounetsu Anthology” sold a bit over 3.000 copies, enough to rank at #29.
If there aren’t sales figures on the prints we’ve posted, it’s because the music label behind that artist doesn’t want to disclose that information. It happens often with the Daily rankings. The Oricon charts depicted here only count physical copies. Digital figures are featured on a different chart.
