Went up 3 spots ^_^.

It also seems that NEXT LEVEL's rating on oricon went up from 65-70% to 85% =D
Maybe it grew on some people? hehe.
Wow that's great I'm glad Japan is coming around

I love it, too! But from my observation, Japan seems to love artists who stick to the same type of music over and over again. Look how long it took them to get use to Namie's new genre.
