In the singles chart this week, KinKi Kids' 26th single, "Eien ni," came out on top with 190,000 copies sold. This extends their Guinness World Record of most consecutive chart-toppers starting with the debut single.

Kumi Koda charted at #2 with "Ai no Uta," her 25th consecutive single in the Top 10, while Ken Hirai had his 8th in a row with "fake star" ranking at #6.

Ayaka's new single remained at #5, experiencing a sales boost since last week. Electropop idol trio Perfume reached #7 with "Polyrhythm," their first single to debut in the top ten. Meanwhile, the popular children's song "Oshiri Kajiri Mushi" climbed up to #8. This is the first time since Masafumi Akikawa's "Sen no Kaze ni Natte" that a song has reached the top 10 after debuting outside of the top 100.

On the albums chart, V6's "Voyager" stood on top, selling 76,000. It also occupies a special place in Oricon history, since it is the 1,000th album to grace the #1 spot.

Meanwhile, The Cro-Magnons released "CAVE PARTY," their second consecutive top 10 album. It ranked 7th, two spots above Leah Dizon's debut, "Destiny Line."
