^ Well, there are a lot of examples of songs from artists who are considered past their prime or who are total newbies on the scene that end up scoring big hits because of drama tie ins. It all just depends on how popular the drama is and how tied into it the song is.

In general I agree. But look at Ichibu to Zenbu - that song sold very well physically (much better than B'z last several singles, in fact it even outsells their numbers from 2003/2004) and it is likely because of the Buzzer Beat tie in.
Anyways, I don't really see Misia as a threat (especially now that I know about the album.)
