We’re back with a new Oricon Weekly roundup.
This article covers the third week of February – which includes singles/albums released between 19/02/2018 and 25/02/2018. This week doesn’t include the “Album” category as not a single release by male seiyuu managed to chart within top 50.
Let’s take a look at the data.

NEW ENTRY: Hyorotto Danshi “Oshiete yo”
Hyorotto Danshi‘s new single “Oshiete yo” was the talk in town as soon as the song was featured on Gakuen Babysitters, after that, at one point it topped CDJAPAN’s sales/pre-order charts, increasing the buzz surrounding this release. However, upon release “Oshiete yo” didn’t perform as expected after all that buzz. The duo still managed to trail comfortably on Oricon Daily, earning them a safe #27 on this week’s chart.

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. The Oricon charts only count physical copies. Digital figures and ranks might be different.
