It's a [Be selfish] thats coming close to the [one piece] week 33/52 - Japan music charts

The music of the charismatic Uta with Ado's voice is starting to lose leverage and point's. This week, the number of points that kept them in the leader position decreased around 1000 points. Has Star Uta stopped shining ️? It might lose the leader position by the end of October.


Uta’s Song is dominating the first spot on the number of streams , Youtube video views in Japan and Karaoke music selection. It did not dominate the number of downloads ( 3rd place), the number of broadcasts in Radios( 18th place) and twitter ( 49th place).


The second leader position was taken by a new single "Be Selfish" by [=LOVE]. This Single is their twelve. In numerology terms, It means they may have completed a cycle , or the next one, may have an unlucky result or the biggest result ever. The number 13 is a mystery by itself, we have to stand by and watch their future performances.


"Be Selfish" dominated the top single with the 1st place, which can give a lot of points to the artist, or group, when entering in the chart.




Short version of the Lyrics translated:

“Stop asking for love,

and let me pick

one out of my troubles.


I want you to go

on as you are

I want you to live as

you are I'm just being selfish

with only your favourite colour

I won't let anyone get in my way”

Personal Japan Billboard review:


I love seeing the Alice in wonderland adaptation in a modern context. It's very innovative! Despite being organised and managed by a former member of AKB48, I must say it was very smart not keeping the same size and structure.

And the image of the girls seems more individual than in a group formation, which is even better because it demonstrates they all have different personalities.

As for the music, it's a modern and more remixed version of Typical Japanese music.

I look at them as fresh and inspiration for the future of Japanese pop music!

I am surprised the Japan billboard reports barely mention them… is it on purpose or accident?
