In a slow week in CD sales, Kazumasa Oda's "Kokoro" was able to top the singles chart with only 48,000 copies sold. At the age of 59 years and 11 months, Oda is the oldest artist to top the chart, surpassing Yujiro Ishihara's record of 52 years and 7 months. Oda also holds the record on the albums chart, which he achieved a little more than two years ago.
In albums this week, Hideaki Tokunaga ranked #1 with "VOCALIST 3," the third in the series of cover albums. With 116,000 in sales, it beat out the two ZARD compilation albums that debuted at #2 and #3.
Meanwhile, Kanjani8's drama special box sold 27,000 units, taking first in the overall DVD rankings. The last time a television drama took the #1 spot was when an "Odoru Daisousasen" special collection was released in 2001.
