BE:FIRST’s ‘Blissful’ Bows at No. 1, Mrs. GREEN APPLE’s ‘Lilac’ Holds at No. 2 for 5th Week on Japan Hot 100


BE:FIRST’s “Blissful” debuts at No. 1 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, dated Aug. 21.


The lead single from the septet’s second album 2:BE, due Aug. 28, dropped digitally ahead of the project on Aug. 12 and hit the top spot on the Japan song chart after ruling downloads, radio airplay, and video views, while also coming in at No. 7 for streaming. The track is the group’s seventh No. 1, following “Gifted.,” “Bye-Good-Bye,” “Scream,” “Boom Boom Back,” “Mainstream” and “Masterplan.”


Mrs. GREEN APPLE‘s “Lilac” continues to hold at No. 2, now in its fifth week in this position. Streaming (93%), radio (73%), and video (85%) are down from the previous week, but downloads have gone up (102%). The popular three man band’s latest single “familie” follows at No. 3, jumping from No. 17. Downloads for this song featured in commercials for the new Honda FREED decreased (75%) week-over-week, but is doing well in streaming (179%), video (up three times the week before) and radio (up 36 times the week before).


Morning Musume. ’24’s “Nandaka Sentimental na toki no Uta” (“A song for when you’re feeling sort of sentimental”) bows at No. 4. The 74th single by the Morning Musume. girl group sold 136,205 copies in its first week to top sales, while coming in at No. 10 for downloads and No. 59 for radio.


Meanwhile, songs by Vaundy are on the rise. “Homunculus” moved 27-19 after the CD version launched with 3,843 copies, while “Kaiju no Hanauta” climbed 12-10, “Time Paradox” 32-27, and ”Odoriko” charted again after two weeks, perhaps influenced by the 24-year-old hitmaker’s recent double-headlining concert with the band back number (whose former No. 1 song “to new lovers” is at No. 9 this week). 


The Billboard Japan Hot 100 combines physical and digital sales, audio streams, radio airplay, video views and karaoke data.
