What's new on the billboard and artists and songs Aimer need to watch out:

"POP SONG" Yonezu Genshi -which is a CM song for PlayStation (R),

If you watch the video music , although enjoying Playstation symbols meaning behind and the representation of someone being different from everybody else. The melody and its harmony seem to be a bit way off to me. It looks like a jazz style remix with parts of what it looks like signature music of looney tunes. But I might be wrong , but thats what I recall similar.

Although it got the total points that could take the queen from the throne in the previous week, it was suppressed by the rapidly growing "Zankyosanka" and it was the first appearance in the 2nd place overall.

"IT'S A BOP" OCTPATH - 8-member dance vocal group ​​became the single index No. 1 with 105,688 single sales. This Group Followed the INI born from the public audition program "PRODUCE 101 JAPAN SEASON2". It seems the somehow S.Korean “Produce 101 Japan” its still trying to recreate the BTS worldwide effect. By helping to singles keep a visible S.Korean music style. Just like the brother group , [J01] .
