Weekly Oricon Chart: Albums/Singles/Music-DVDs
Popular actor/singer-songwriter, Fukuyama Masaharu has reached his 14th no.1 single with "Ikiteru Ikiteku." The title track is the theme song to the hit animation movie, "Eiga Doraemon Nobita to Kiseki no Shima ~Animal Adventure~," which has been the no.1 movie for 5 non-consecutive weeks. As a theme song for a Doraemon series or movie, this is the first time it has topped the chart in 28 years. This is also Fukuyama's 5th consecutive no.1 single starting from "Keshin" (released in May 2009).
Meanwhile, Johnny's group, Kis-My-Ft2 achieved their first no.1 album with their debut album, "Kis-My-1st." Following their 3rd single release last week, "SHE! HER! HER!", they have topped the single or album chart 2 weeks in a row. The last time a debut album by a male group or soloist reached over 200k copies sold in the first week was 6 years ago with KAT-TUN's "Best of KAT-TUN" (released in April 2006) which sold 557k in the first week and 750k in total.
In the music-DVD chart, popular idol group, AKB48 have topped the chart with "AKB48 Kouhaku Taikou Utagassen." Last week's release, "AKB48 in a-nation 2011" also stays in the top 10 at 6th place. This performance is a spin-off of NHK's Kouhaku Utagassen, held at TOKYO DOME CITY HALL on December 20th last year. This is the 4th time the group has topped the chart starting from "Nogashita Sakanatachi ~Single Video Collection~" (released in July 2010), "AKB ga Ippai ~The Best Music Video~" (released in June 2011), and "AKB48 Yossha ~Ikuzo!~ in Seibu Dome Special BOX" (released in December 2011).
