As expected , Hey ! Say ! JUMP's #1 . It's quite interesting ☆Taku Takahashi (block.fm , m-flo) also had a hand in composing & producing their single too , aside from what he did for Merry-go-round

cool, lets see if the sales translate.

No way to get the No.1, but i'll be happy if she stays in the top 3.

As we expected.. =) Let's hope for a consistent week and a long chart life... ("L" only charted 8 weeks :( )
for the first week i see 50k :)

I think she's at least will make it to top 3.. either 2 or 3. fighting ayu!

wow it's really good result to be 2nd~!!

#2.. good since she's been like nonexistent these years

Well, saddened that this being released on a week when a boy band is releasing material. It's almost a guarantee we won't have a 27th consecutive #1. But I hope the sales match L.

Either way, I hope Ayumi is getting back to releasing singles often. These last three years have felt unnervingly quiet without the single releases.

Well A SUMMER BEST's ninki was 79.90 but LOVE, again and LOVE again's were higher.

I hope she can really get #2 :)

NUMBER 2 PLEASE!!!!

79 k like they predicted would be awesome for the first week.

not bad :) i hope everything goes well for the single ^^ she seems to be promoting!

:shrug

Yeah, as I expect. #1 for HSJ. Hopefully Ayu can get #2, because once again I *don't* care about the charts anymore...I'm just getting tired of Johnny's and AKB48-related idols dominating the charts too much. (Someday the Johnny's and AKB48 craze will wear off, but not as soon as Ayu...)

# 2 would be awesome, really. But even the third wouldn't be bad. Pretty much everything in top 5 is fantastic, since she had this drop in sales and somewhat in popularity too.

People, those numbers are not sales. They're an index of people's interest about the releases. It's a survey for some (300?) oricon subscribers.
Number sales has nothing to do with this number. But it usually can be like a proportion (so this time, HSJ might sell about 2 or 2.5 times more than Ayu)

Thank you^
Was so confused as to what the numbers meant!

i'm happy with the #2 position, it is a boyband's country afterall -.-

Johnny's bands have been existent since 1962 , I don't understand why people continue to lament on this even up to now

On the day when all are gone for good is the day when Johnny himself passed the reins to someone else to take over his massive fortune/company

And for the record , Hey! Say! JUMP will release a new single in Feb 2014

Get them sales Ayuma!!
