Recochoku Half-Year Charts 2017
 

The fact that A BEST still charting always surprises me

she had no content out, so that she is still in the list means a lot by itself. amazing ayu!

Amazing!

I saw utada's first best album too. 2 legends with 2 legendary-best- albums

I think it means more for Ayu. Utada did just have one of the most successful comebacks less than a year ago. Ayu hasn't really taken a break in 20 years.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but almost everyone on that list, have realeased an album lately (this year or by the end of 2016) except for Ayu, MADE IN JAPAN was... about a year ago? and she's even higher that Kumi who realeased two albums early this year and many others like big bang, exile or kana-boon! and people still goes and say "she's not relevant anymore" yeah, right.

if ayu is charting because of her current music, than I'm super happy. If she's not then that really doesn't count in my opinion.

Surprised for her to make to the Top 50! Nice!

I think that it's amazing that she literally didn't release anything this year and yet she is #50.

Good to see her in the top 50 even though she didn't release anything. :)

Isn't Recochoku something from Avex and Oricon is not even Part of it?
