NEW ENTRY: Issei Kuga “Anata no Hana” (Kachofugetsu Hen series)
The first volume of QUELL‘s anticipated take on the well known Kachofugetsu Hen series unfortunately didn’t have a good week of sales. “Anata no Hana” debuted on Oricon Daily far from the top places and remained like that until the end of the week. The single sold a bit over 1.700 copies, earning it a disappointing #41.

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.
