Meanwhile, Oda Kazumasa captured two new records with his new album “Doumo,” which became his 5th consecutive number-one. Counting his time with the band Off Course, Oda has topped the charts with a career of 41 years and 1 month under his belt, surpassing Michael Jackson’s 40 years at the time of “This Is It” in 2009. He is now also the oldest artist to have a #1 (in either singles or albums) at 63 years and 7 months, beating Akimoto Junko’s 61 years and 7 months, also set in 2009.
Another impressive achievement came from Hamasaki Ayumi, who simultaneously released 4 remix albums, a box set for the albums, and 2 music DVDs last week. Those remix albums all made the top 10 for the week, becoming the first ever artist to place four new albums in the top 10. Previously, TM NETWORK, L'Arc~en~Ciel, and Yazawa Eikichi were tied for the record at three apiece.
