And to be honest there are only a few male solo acts that had a real peak in Japanese 21st century Music Industry.
The only names that came to my mind are Gackt, Hyde, Masaharu Fukuyama, Ken Hirai and T.M. Revolution.
T.M. Revolution sold a lot with his latest collaboration singles with Nana Mizuki, both of them outsold 100k copies (one of them nearly reached 200k).
Masaharu latest single was able to sell 144,789 copies and debuted at #1 on Oricon. I think his next studio album will be highly antecipated since his last one was released in 2009.
Ken Hirai's last single sold 39,318 copies in total. I don't think he's gonna have higher numbers than that.
Gackt last single sold something around 15k.
T.M. Revo and Masaharu are the only ones I'd consider to still have some impact in Japanese music industry.
