It doesn’t come as a surprise anymore, but it really is amazing!
TOHOSHINKI is continually making history when yesterday (July 16), at the release of their 23rd Japanese single, “どうして君を好きになってしまったんだろう” topped the ORICON Daily Singles chart with massive sales of over 30,000+ on the first day (which does not include 20,000+ other unit sales bought from other outlets not counted by ORICON), and the numbers are likely to increase by the thousands in the coming days.
Their 22nd single, “Beautiful You” which took 22,000+ sales on the first day, and “Purple Line” got 16,000+ on its first day of release. The increase in each single is truly very impressive. It just shows how TOHOSHINKI is constantly impressing music audiences everywhere, gaining more and more fans despite the increasing number of promising new comers of popstars in the Asian region.
The ORICON Charts is regarded as an equivalent of the U.S. Billboards in Asia, as Japan is considered to be the 2nd largest music industry in the world next to the U.S. The ORICON gets their data drawn from some 3,020 retail outlets (as of January 2008), including online stores like Tower Records, HMV Japan, CD Japan and others.
With how the way things are going, it’s a sure-fire that TOHOSHINKI could actually top the ORICON Weekly chart again. They are doing such a marvelous job and I hope they continue to inspire and impress. But what is really amazing here are the fans who have continually given their love, time, energy (and of course money) for this splendid group of talented young men.
Despite the countless number of download links available on the internet, with determination, you (the fans) have constantly supported them by buying their original CDs and DVDs. You guys make TOHOSHINKI and your fellow fans very proud. Kudos to everyone!
