Meanwhile, KAT-TUN's new DVD, released simultaneously with their single, is their fifth consecutive release to top the music DVD chart. At 175,000 copies sold, it also has set the opening week record for the year.

On the album rankings, L'Arc~en~Ciel secured the #1 spot with "KISS," moving 221,000 copies. This is their seventh #1 album.
