Based on the list above, I think Mr Johnny Kitagawa is one very happy man! Hahaha… It’s like dominated by JE artists! Arashi, NewS, Kanjani8, KAT-TUN, and even Hey! Say! JUMP… Even their latest mini group, nYc made it into the top 50 list! They were at #23 for the single sales ranking! nYc is a 3-member group consisting of Nakayama Yuuma, Yamada Ryousuke, and Chinen Yuuri… Other notable mentions in are Ayumi Hamasaki at #24 with You were…/BALLAD, YUI with GLORIA at #25, L’Arc~en~Ciel at #28 with BLESS, Perfume with Fushizen na Girl/Natural ni koishite at #29, Ikimonogatari at #30 with Arigatou, and also aiko at #41 with Mukaiawase… A lot of groups as well on the 3 lists! Groups are not only dominating here in the Japanese music scene but in the Korean scene as well! More members = more Rabu rabu♥♥ haha… U also must be wondering why more singles ranking were shown~ haha… Because I’m biased, like that… lol… It’s Tohoshinki! haha… sorry…
Can’t wait for the next part of the list to come out~~ The first half of 2010 just came and gone like that… Very fast… Have a great week everyone~~
Ja ne~~
