Oricon

As soon as the disaster happened, Annette reached out and said she heard about the cyclone and offered her support.

My VP projects at the time, Marco Pires, We also have worked with Oracle on previous projects.

I just connected with Annette to say, Annette, I need your team flying to the growth island next week.

Can you do it?

... published an official cumulative milestone figure for the series yet.

Uh, volume drops did not hit the 15 to 20,000 physical unit weekly threshold to register on a, I think it's Oricon is the one who kinda tracks all that.

It's like their, I don't wanna say the billboard for manga over there, but they just kind of put that out there.

Yeah.

This isn't the first time Kim Min-guk has been the center of admiration, since Ives' Yang Wan-young previously mentioned him back in 2021, saying she felt an unexplainable closeness to him even though they'd never actually met, proving that this former child star from Dad, Where Are We Going? has grown up into someone people just can't stop talking about.

And Team is having a huge moment right now, hitting a career high in Japan with their new Korean mini-album, Mark On Me, which just claimed the top spot on the Oricon Daily Album ranking.

The group's latest release sold an incredible 1.35 million copies in its first week overall.

with 484,794 of those sales coming from Japan alone, making it their best first week performance.

They've released 50, that's 5-0, consecutive number one singles.

27 number one albums and four number one EPs, according to the Oricon music charts, which are the Japanese version of the Billboard charts.

In 2007, they were the first Asian musical act to have their handprints added to the Hollywood Rock Walk, which is the musical version of the Walk of Fame or the Walk of the Stars in Hollywood.

Inaba and Matsumoto met in 1988 after Matsumoto, who had already had some success as a solo artist, looked to start a band and started with wanting a singer.

Their early music is very experimental and not indicative of a more hard rock sound they'd later come to exemplify.

They were immediately successful and were pressured to perform live, but wanted to build enough of a catalog to sustain a live show before touring, so they recorded a second album released in 1989 and went on a brief tour, which was sold out pretty much as soon as tickets went on sale.

In February of 1990, they released a third album, which debuted at number three on the Oricon chart, with the single Taiyo no Kamachi Angel debuting at number one and beginning that streak of 50 consecutive number one singles.

A fourth album was released in June of 1990 and a fifth in November, and that fifth debuted at number one on the Oricon charts.

The album was released on January 1st of 2016.

The album reached number one on the Oricon Weekly Chart, becoming the first album to do so in 2016, obviously, if it came out on the first.

I'm just saying.

They're like, oh

It was very good.

Mm-hmm.

Okay, on December 21st of 2016, the group released their 14th Japanese single, Winter Wonderland, which debuted at number two on the Oricon charts and sold over 80,000 copies in a single week.

We did watch the music video for Winter Wonderland because nothing screams fall like a winter Christmas song.

Bucktick is widely considered one of the founding bands of that entire movement.

Just two years after their debut in 1989, Bucktick released their third album, Taboo, and it debuted at number one on the Oricon chart, Japan's equivalent of the Billboard 200.

That is an extraordinarily fast rise for any band in any country and it turned Bucktick from a promising new act into a genuine force.

And the scale of their shows grew just as fast.

In 2013, marking their 25th debut anniversary, Bucktick released their first documentary film, 劇場版爆竹現象 , shown in theatres nationwide.

In 2017, marking 30 years, Bucktick received the Inspiration Award Japan at the MTV VMAJ, the Japanese edition of the MTV Video Music Awards, a special award given to a Japanese artist recognized for enormous influence on the current Japanese music scene.

In 2020, on their 33rd debut anniversary, September 21st, they released their 22nd studio album, Abracadabra, which reached number three on the Oricon Weekly album chart.

The pandemic forced the cancellation of their nationwide tour, but the band adapted in real time.

The album topped Hunter Chart's daily rankings on release day with 461,000 copies sold, then crossed the half-million mark just three days later.

Globally, the album reached number one on iTunes' top albums charts in 11 countries and regions, while also earning gold album certification on China's QQ Music and ranking second on Japan's Oricon Daily Album chart.

The title track, Death of Me, has performed strongly on UK official charts and Korean platforms including Bugs and Melon, with its music video ranking fourth on YouTube's Global Daily Music Video chart.

iLit is preparing for a bold new chapter with their fifth mini-album, Break Even.

The 10-track album also debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, giving and hyping the first chart-topper after steadily climbing to No. 2 with their previous two releases.

The Sin Bliss sold more than 1.7 million copies on their release day and topped Oricon's daily album ranking as well as iTunes' top albums chart in 23 regions.

The album marks the group's first release since Heason left in March to pursue a solo career as Evan.

making Enhypen a six-member act.
