As well, take a gander at the "Top 10 Albums in Oricon History".
I'm not surprised by the presence of Southern All Stars or Kome Kome Club in this top 10! But I noticed there is no solo female singer in it, which surprised me a lot since I expected singers like Misora Hibari or Yuming.
ReplyDeleteHello, Nagaregumo.
DeleteYeah, that's what got me going "WHAT?!" as well. Dreams Come True could technically qualify because of vocalist Miwa Yoshida but the closest solo female singer is Namie Amuro with "Can You Celebrate?" at No. 14 with Hikaru Utada at No. 19 with "Automatic".
Hello J!
ReplyDeleteYeah, and Namie's "Can you celebrate" was really a big hit. And SMAP are in the only guys from Johnny's in the top 10. With this kind of popularity I understand better the "SMAP Gate" of last year :D
Utada in the top 20, damn. She really discreet for someone who had so much success. I remember an interview of tsunku about the early Morning Musume days. He said he composed "Memory Seishun no Hikari" because he didn't want to loose against Utada.
