Man, they were ridiculously adorable, weren't they? :) I've never seen that particular video before, so that was fun. Thanks! :)

Pink Lady have a ridiculously awesome weeks-to-singles ratio, don't they? Took B'z almost 5 times as many singles to even approach the number of weeks that Pink Lady were on top. That's nuts! O_O!!

LOL @ the who is Pink Lady comments. They were pretty much what defines most J-pop idols, look them up when you get a chance. ;) (that reminds me that I've been meaning to get their latest GH album lol)

Great position for Ayu, pretty sure she can break top 3 or even top 2.

There wasn't as much competition, so if you were popular, you were REALLY popular. Not really fair to compare that to a group like B'z, who were popular in a time of extreme competition (although in their age sales were also at their peak.)

just one more left to be on top 3! :)
Thanks for the info.

Wow congratz to Ayu and Hikki! :D
