Billboard Japan Hot100 Charts (6 April 2022) – New songs only - Japan music charts edition

The Billboard Japan Hot 100 is a music chart that ranks the best-selling songs in Japan. It is published by Billboard magazine, and a new chart is compiled and published every Thursday. The chart is based on sales of physical singles and digital downloads. These doesn’t mean music outside of Japan stays out of Japan Billboard, very much the opposite. However, I only focus on Japan’s artists and songs, even If I enjoy Kpop music from artists like Ailee and Song Ji Eun. Maybe in the Future who knows!


The Billboard Japan Hot 100 was first published on October 26, 1996. The first number one song was "Too Much Heaven" by Bee Gees. As of July 20, 2019, the most successful artist on the chart is AKB48, with 45 number-one singles.


This week, the Japan Billboard has brought us 7 new Japan songs to the charts. I read the letter on the website of BMSG and decided that these songs deserve as much recognition as any others on the Japan music charts. It's not a competition or about making money, but rather about artistic freedom and awareness for a healthy music industry.


9th Position

Special Force - AXXX1S

AXXX1S is a Japanese idol boy group that launched in 2018. Recent but it has potential! Their style concept is "royal road + α", which is based on the genre of idol and incorporates the trend and individuality of each member. The group currently consists of Maruhashi Takumi; Miyazuki Yuto; Okada Yuki; Ichinose Mizuki ; Tanaka Shintaro ; Tamura Eisuke ; Endo Mikiya ; and Hashimoto Natsu.

Each member has a colour associated with him just like a power ranger, and when a member leaves, a new member takes the colour that left.
