The five member idol group TOHOSHINKI's third single "Doushite Kimi Wo Suki Ni Natte Shimattandarou" sold 68,000 copies in its first week. This is TOHOSHINKI's third consecutive #1 single on the weekly charts, making them the first group to achieve this.
TOHOSHINKI's singles "Purple Line" (1/28) and "Beautiful You" (5/5) and lastly "Doushite Kimi wo Suki ni Natte Shimattandarou" attained 1st place on the weekly charts. They are the first foreign group to achieve this feat. The last two groups who held the record were Ame No Gyodo* in 1971/72 and Ravisu Ova in 1984 whom each had two consecutive #1 weekly singles.
TOHOSHINKI, the male idol group, debuted in February 2004. The five members are Yunho, Jaejoong, Yoochun, Changmin, and Junsu. They debuted in Japan in April 2005 with their single, "Stay with me Tonight."
With such big sales on the first day, it's not surprising that they landed on the weekly top. But it's just awesome that they are recognized and credited for breaking new records. I am very happy for them. Congratulations to TOHOSHINKI and all their supporters, especially those who bought the single.
