QUELL, SOARA, SolidS, rêve parfait, 2Wink, UNDEAD, Hiroshi Kamiya, Kato Kazuki and more appear on last week’s Oricon Weekly chart.
This article covers the third week of October – which includes singles/albums released between 16/10/2017 and 22/10/2017.
Let’s take a look at the data.
Oricon Weekly Album ranking
NEW ENTRY: Kato Kazuki goes unnoticed on Oricon
The talented pop-rocker released his new mini-album SPICY BOX last week and the fan’s reception was a bit underwhelming. Kazuki sold under 2.000 copies on its first week of sales.

NEW ENTRY: Idolmaster SideM continue to show their popularity
Idolmaster SideM continue to rank high on Oricon. This Origin@l Pieces volume performed incredibly well during the past week, leading to the impressive #8 on Oricon Weekly.
Oricon Weekly Single ranking
NEW ENTRY: [rêve parfait] receive a lukewarm response
[rêve parfait] released “p.s.i hate you♡xxx” last week. The single performed well – in comparison with other of their releases – debuting on #38. It seems that the weak response to the anime adaptation has somehow affected this single’s exposure. The reaction was lukewarm and on one week, this single only managed to sell under 1000 copies.
Hiroshi Kamiya slips on the chart
“Kamisama Connection” dropped from #3 to #20 in just one week. Even if the drop was significant, the single continues to sell well as you can see from the 2,343 copies sold during the past week.
We’ve reviewed the single but were throughly unimpressed by the lack of quality, among other issues on it. You can read our review HERE.
Ensemble stars units slowly exiting the top 50
UNDEAD‘s powerful single has been gradually dropping on the chart. In the past week, the single dropped from #15 to #36.
