I believe in love for eternity that never ceases” Personal Japan billboard Review: This song and the video footage somehow it brings me back to the “Koi Suru Fortune Cookie” (恋するフォーチュンクッキー) by AKB48 in 2013.

The winter is over! The spring is here the group [ Snow Man] making us warm up with their music in a very energetic beat, despite of the chilling name. The “brother Beat”( ブラザービート) from the Male idol group achieve this leader position after conquering the “TOP Singles Sales”, announced on April 6th. The singles sale had total 809 082 which gave them around 16 000 points, providing them a jump from the 88th position directly to the number 1 spot. These is the group’s 6th single since their debut. The music is an opening theme from the recent movie "Osomatsu-san" ( https://osomatsusan-movie.jp/ ) starring them (Snow Man) , which is the theme song, was released on March 25. The movie Original Plot from the website: " The six children of the Matsuno family, Osomatsu, Karamatsu, Choromatsu, Ichimatsu, Jyushimatsu, and Todomatsu do not get a regular job even after the age of 20, and they are virgin kusonito who bite their parents' shins. They live together under one roof while pulling their legs together. One day, his eldest son, Osomatsu, meets an old gentleman (CEO of Apricots, a large company with a market capitalization of several tens of trillion yen!). There is a crazy story about wanting to adopt a son who died in an accident and two melons, Osomatsu. Five younger brothers who can't afford to run through. A bone-and-flesh battle broke out that kicked others down when he wanted to be adopted. In front of them, three people in black who create an atmosphere that seems to be super important appear, and the story goes in an unexpected direction. Who will be adopted and lead the life of the winners?" Personal Japan billboard Review: The music is energetic and good to dance! There is no doubt. However, the kind of beat in the music, it brings back the conversation about the Japan music industry needing to evolve to something more than a tag called Jpop. It should be called Jmusic so we could identify Japanese music in a more open approach and identify [Snow Man] a little more than a just jpop group idol. On the Music video, there is so much going on I had to watch it more than one time. The sequence with just a low quantity of frames make a bit too fast and confusing, But the graphics and the effects are good. I prefer a bit more the [lip&image] version it brings more flow and steadiness. As for the singing, perfect nothing to report. About the dance, there was a slightly out of sync in the beginning at least one time. But we can forgive that because only the detail seekers will find it.

The Zankyosanka that cheer up the opening of the anime "Kimetsu no Yaiba Yukaku Hen" reached its climax on February 13, which now the popularity is at a steady slowing down. The song is still among the 10th greatest at the Japan Billboard. Who is Aimer? Aimer (エメ) is a Japanese pop singer and lyricist signed to SACRA MUSIC, which belongs to the Sonic Music Industry. Aimer uses the name Aimerrhythm for lyrics credits (information confirm in JASRAC). She has a love for music that we can look at her history for the evidence. At the age of 15, she lost her voice due to a voice cord overuse. To recover from it, she had to go under the torture of a silence therapy treatment. (I call it torture, imagine an artist that can’t do art, or a painter that can not paint, that must feel like torture).

Although, I enjoy more Wave Crash, maybe because it seems more their Style and it looks more natural to them. The Resonance is the fourth opening theme from the Anime “Hanyou no Yashahime”( Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon), which appears around episode 38. (official website: http://hanyo-yashahime.com/). These was the first appearance of the music and album on the Japan Billboard TOP 100, "Resonance", recorded sales of 402,093 in the first week of the single. Who are the SixTones?

SixTones' pre-debut songs recorded on Japanese Society for rights of authors, composers and publishers (JASRAC) . It’s a bit odd to some people that the official website doesn’t have an introduction part of the music Group. It looks like Managers are more looking for the profit by the health and love for the stars. However, this website is part of Sony Music Entertainment Marketing for profit not to support the people method, which is not surprising after the controversies surrounding Johnny & Associates.

Also, without a presence on the Global 200 chart, on the third week a story from a drama about the end of the world jumped to the first position to say the final goodbye.

Jumping like a kawaii usagi (cute rabit) from the eightieth position last week to the first position, the young ladies of Tokyo and all-female idol group have achieved another wonderful spot. They are the sisters of AKB48, also with the same producer Yasushi Akimoto. Actually - Nogizaka46 Personal Japan billboard Review: At first, I couldn’t understand where the previous colours and theatrical video went. And I still don’t! For some reason, the concept is love for everyone since they do a heart shape formation(?)… maybe, but in Grey. Since they are dressed in a kind of blue-grey colour, the low dancing with a lot of arm movement and the low quantity of smiles. All this made me worry like was everything planned because someone got hurt? Was there bad news before all things that surround the work created? The spring is beginning to bloom and instead of colors, we are presented with no colour scenes and a good music to dance. That for me doesn’t really match. Spring for me means colour, dance, and light. Not winter reloaded with greys and whites and there is no light at the end of the tunnel. It just my thought. Here is bit of the lyrics translated: “「You know I need to find something, real bad」 Every time I smile I remember that I was overdoing To draw blue sky (NOT YET) Whether the wind is what color Should be known What's missing Actually WOW WOW I do not know (anything) The beauty of this world” Don’t forget to check out the top 10 at the end of this post!

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 10 new Japan music to the charts.

Here is the weekly review of this new japan music chart! After the pre-delivery announcement, in February 28, The music “Chameleon” ( カメレオン), which is the theme song from the FUJI TV Jdrama “ Don’t Call it Mystery” starring Masaki Suda, has been wondering between the fourth and second place in Japan music Charts.

On that same day, Mar 16, they released the music video on YouTube channel and the album. It means that was the necessary push to the first position in the Japan billboard, with 24 032 singles sold. However, the downloads and playbacks have been decreasing, this also provides a slight push-up for the other 2 songs : "Reverse dream" 「逆夢」and "Ichizu" 「一途」. King Gnu might stay in the TOP10 with either of the 3 songs, however the bands on second and third place might be able to gain more momentum, since one is new and didnt had downloads or playbacks counts at this time. Don’t forget to check out the top 10 at the end of this post!

I will see you Wednesday(UTC time) with the new week results review a little more complete . kisses for everyone

I guess SixTones song “Resonance” wasn’t that strong on the billboard. It might comeback still, but it suffers a big drop from a 1st position to the 12th position. But lets get begin the Japan Billboard review for this week 11 in 2022. On Japan Billboard Top 100, there are 14 new song on Japan music charts which makes a good perspective what’s they are fighting for. One of these new songs, it’s our Billboard leader BE: FIRST that it’s the first! "Bye-Good-Bye" is the song for the Jdrama "Sayonara no Mae no Mae Fantastic 31 Days” ( サヨウナラのその前に Fantastic 31 Days NTV -"ZIP!" - https://www.ntv.co.jp/zip/ ). Production: Nippon Television; co-production: AX-ON. The Drama story is A huge meteor will collide with earth. Many people react in different ways, like running, staying at home, and denied the government announcement. The story surrounds 5 different people and their last 31 days before the meteor strikes earth and eliminates all life. The month march and the 31 days story were well thought to combine. The theme song by BE: FIRST is going to lead the CD single, which is set to be released on May 18. I could say that for the next 2 weeks and if the drama becomes popular, its possible BE: FIRST can maintain itself on the top 10 for another 3 weeks maximum. However, if the pastel look, I show on the Music Video and dance performance video has the desire BTS effect it can go further. However, I need to make a critic in the music video it was more performance than a mimic singing the song. Like on the first 2 minutes is more evident. there are a few close ups on the face or at the eyes base that the lips or throat don’t actually make move. Be:First is a 7 member Jpop group under and produced by BMSG. They were formed through the audition program BSMG AUDITION – THE FIRST 21, along 231 aspiring stars. They released 2 pre debut singles, and they officially debuted on November 3, 2021, with the single album ‘Gifted’. The group's motto: "Reach the top, but don't kick others down". On YouTube, the licensing was done by AVEX INC, on behalf of the main company B-me, which is the short version of BMSG. This happens because B-ME was co-founded by AVEX. Dont forget to check out the top 10 list at the end of the post! WHAT'S "BMSG"? BMSG-An acronym for Be My Self Group, named with the intention of creating a space where artists and idols can stay "as they are”. It is also an acronym for Brave, Massive, Survive, Groove. Sky-HI founded the agency with the goal to improve the good environment and recover the Artist freedom Japan desperately needs. Like He says in his declaration on the BMSG website “ "Detachment of self-consciousness and other consciousness, expectations in undesired directions, false accusation and imposition, betrayal. There were many times when I was about to crush myself. In fact, many of my friend's artists have collapsed in the middle of a dream." When he states this, it’s clear that Japan Music industry is not healthy. He even points out 2 problems: “talent is consumed in a distorted form and cannot be saved” and there isn’t a good combination between success with certain talent and a person happy life. Sky-Hi compares the entertainment industry with a customer service industry. And if you look at the scenery behind the new song video by BE: FIRST, in the background it says “Guest relations” that kind of customer service is more known among the travel and tourism industry. He also wonders about the future of music in Japan in ten years if it continues in this unhealthy. “Talent is easily killed by a little bit … How many works with solid talent and soul have been recovered? How many times have you been consumed by stories that have nothing to do with your work? How many dreams and talents have been undesirably consumed, crushed, killed, and turned off? It's no longer the time to control the media. No one will protect you. In the flow of SNS, the trend changes too quickly, and if it matches it, it will be consumed and disappear in an instant. But you can't escape from it.” He built this group and agency with his own money in middle of pandemic. Reminder outside off topic : remember that a lot of celebrities from all areas committed suicide for many reasons, but the main one : Hana Kimura , due to cyberbullying, after a fake and made up scene in the Terrance House, where she had the paper of being a bad character. “Not only the management method so far, but also the way to eat, the way after selling, mental support, creating a community that exposes worries, equal contracts, and building a true relationship of trust with fans. I would like to create a new system that has never been prepared, such as symbiosis and coexistence.” In other words, a system of peace and friendship among artists that can help celebrities fighting any problem they face. ＜BE:FIRST SNS＞ Official Website：https://befirst.tokyo/ Twitter : https://twitter.com/BEFIRSTofficial Instagram : https://www.instagram.com/befirst__of...

What’s next on the Billboard top 3? On the second position … The opening song of the TV anime "Kimetsu no Yaiba Yukaku Hen" is number 1 in Billboard JAPAN anime chart "JAPAN HOT Animation" making Aimer's "Zankyosanka" recover a bit from the lost last week. On third position and new to the billboard … SKE48's 29th single lead song "Kokoro ni Flower" was ranked 1st in the single index with sales of 274,744 in the first week, but it was ranked 18th in lookup, 15th in Twitter, and 93rd in radio.

Another week, another Japan billboard review! As predicted on the second week, the queen lost the crown. Yet, it’s not that surprising if we considered that the new Japan Billboard Leader is also an opening song from an Anime. Aimer fell to the third position. The single was released exactly a week ago (02 MAR 2022) with 2 songs Resonance and Wave Crash. Although, I enjoy more Wave Crash, maybe because it seems more their Style and it looks more natural to them. These is the first appearance of the music and album on the Japan Billboard TOP 100, "Resonance", recorded sales of 402,093 in the first week of the single. The music lyrics showing in the anime : “ Now it's time to unite, let's shout! Hey, This is a song to get me the power Can you hear the roaring of our soul, huh? We don't have time to hesitate, right? Okay, let's get started! … Don't worry, even if you're down Our ties are always in here...” The SixTONES leader, Yugo Kochi celetrated his 28th birthday after work! The Group shared a picture with the Delicious Cake on Social media, or as they say in Japanese, SNS. Omedetou Yugo Kochi! My personal Analysis: After watching the dance performance on Youtube and hearing the music on SixTones website, they seem completely different songs. It is like they were force or they were walking on rain before the shooting the Dance performance video, at least for me something seems way off! Like the sound of their voices seem different from the other times like a sore throat. Even their movements seemed to be un-sync. Which is kind of odd to me! I like to hear them, but something is wrong. Or the song wasn’t written for them, and it was “bought”. Which would be surprising after the Johnny & Associates Chaos on the media. As for the actual song on their website https://www.sixtones.jp/ sounds much clearer and tuned, which is good. Don't forget to check what’s new on the Billboard at the end of this post! The Resonance is the fourth opening theme from the Anime “Hanyou no Yashahime”( Yashahime: Princess Half-Demon), which appears around episode 38. (official website: http://hanyo-yashahime.com/ ) You remember the INUYASHA anime, right? Well, Hanyou no Yashahime is the sequel just like Boruto is Naruto sequel. For more information on the Anime: Visit myanimelist Due to the series ongoing episodes, as long the opening song doesnt change to another, its possible SixTones may keep themselves on TOP3 for 2 weeks, maybe, depending on new anime and Drama releases. Back to the Japan Music charts Who are the SixTones? SixTones (ストーンズ, Sutōnzu, pronounced "Stones") is a Japanese idol boy band formed by Johnny & Associates in 2015, consist of Jesse, Kyomoto Taiga, Matsumura Hokuto, Kochi Yugo, Morimoto Shintaro, and Tanaka Juri. . The group was previously a sub-unit of Johnny & Associates' pre-debut trainee group, Johnny's Jr. SixTones made their official debut on January 22, 2020. SixTones' pre-debut songs recorded on Japanese Society for rights of authors, composers and publishers (JASRAC) for example : 2015 この星のHIKARI [Kono Hoshi No HIKARI] JASRAC No.：1H9-9123-8 BE CRAZY - JASRAC No.：212-8586-1 2016 IN THE STORM- JASRAC No.：1J5-6509-8 2017 Amazing!!!!!! - JASRAC No.：1K3-6191-7 JAPONICA STYLE – JASRAC No.：231-2639-6.

It looks like Managers are more looking for the profit by the health and love for the stars. However, this website is part of Sony Music Entertainment Marketing for profit not to support the people method, which is not surprising after the controversies surrounding Johnny & Associates. What is New on the Japan Billboard? On number 2 position, King Gnu (https://kinggnu.jp/ ) They are Back with the new song "Chameleon" first time appearance on the Billboard is followed by the Pre-delivery announcement just last week (28 FEB 2022).

This week the song won the first place in download with 54,951DL and the first place in streaming with 9,750,428 playbacks, won the second place in radio and the 26th place in Twitter.

All Hail the Queen! For 1 week in January and the entire month of February, Aimer have lasted and showing Japan, who is the leader of Japanese music, while combining with Japanese Culture. And to celebrate Aimer achievement, I did this fan art on Photoshop. ( ->) I hope you all enjoy it! Althought, Aimer's "Zankyosanka" has been leading Japan billboard for 7 consecutive weeks. It seems she is enjoying the crown! Even the POP song with Playstation theme can not compete with this Queen of the Billboard. "Zankyosanka"[残響散歌] is the number one record for seven consecutive weeks, along with Gen Hoshino's "Koi" recorded from December 2016 to January of the following year. "Koi" has won the overall top position 11 times in total, and "Zankyosanka" has won the second place in history 9 times in total. Gen Hoshino was the overall leader in this song in the first half of 2017 and the annual "JAPAN HOT 100", and after the first quarter of this year, "Zankyosanka" has already made a name for himself as the top candidate for the year It marked 9,481,838 plays this week. With a total of 107,567,275 replays, it has surpassed 100 million times, the fifth fastest in history, just 12 weeks after the chart-in. The shortest records of over 100 million times are BTS "Butter" (6 weeks), LiSA "Fire" (7 weeks), BTS "Permission to Dance" (9 weeks), BTS "Dynamite" (11 weeks). The anime "Kimetsu no Yaiba Yukaku Hen", which cheers up the opening theme, finally reaches its climax on February 13, last week, so the Aimer , leader position may be slowing down in the next weeks. If that starts to happen this week, the future chart actions of each index that remains high will be change and take a new leader right after the second week of March, since this week the points have been lowing down . Who will steal the throne ? Don't forget to check whats new on the Billboard at the end of this post! One of the japanese Singer-songwriter, I have been following for a very long time.
