NEW ENTRY: Soma Saito “Date”

The single then went up and down the chart (from 5 to 12) until the end of the week. “Date” has a bit over 13.000 copies sold, earning Saito yet another top 10 release in his career (his 3rd straight top 10 as a solo artist). “Date” got a well earned #7 on this week’s chart.

Miyu Irino made his long awaited comeback after two years of hiatus. However, “FREEDOM” didn’t get the warm response that most anticipated it would have. “FREEDOM” debuted at #13 on Oricon Daily and never got to enter top 10 during its first week of sales. With a bit over 4.500 copies sold, the single sits comfortably at #15, matching “Uso to mirai to” (released in 2016) as his highest ranking single on Oricon Weekly.

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 depicted here only count physical copies. Digital figures are featured on a different chart.
