[3/22] 'Secret' 16th Week Sales

[ll moments ll]

i wouldn't think ORICON would just make up numbers. if they favor JE artists, wouldn't they have given TOKIO the weekly #1 when they released "Hikari no Machi / Run Free"? it was number one the first day, but Kobukuro's "Tsubomi" grabbed the weekly #1. KinKi Kids' new single did manage to get the number 1, but its sales are their lowest yet (it didn't break 200,000+ like their previous singles). i would've gave them their usual opening sales, no?

i'm pretty sure ORICON has its flaws, but if it's the most recognizable music chart in Japan, you would think there would be some truth to what numbers they release.
