Ah, yeah, I always keep forgetting that the ORICON year doesn't end on Dec-31. The amount of performances is indeed unreal. She was ranked in the Top Ten 122 (or 120, depending on the count) times, does that mean she didn't refuse/cancel a single appearance? Well, we will know for sure once we have watched all five discs.
1978年(昭和53年)1月26日 - 1980年(昭和55年)9月25日 =
139 weeks.
The Best Ten was a weekly show. Basically, this means that Momoe appeared on TV all the time, doesn't it?
I also hope that they will do other artists, too. It's a fantastic idea. I was quite surprised (in a good way) two months ago when I read about this release on a Japanese blog. A Seiko or Akina DVD box would be awesome. Although they both had more than 200 Top Ten ranking positions on the show, so the boxes would be humongous. It's a fact that Seiko turned down most of The Best Ten invitations during the later part of the 80s (1987-1989). I'm not too sure about Akina, but I've confirmed that she has done at least 180+ performances. Kyoko Koizumi and Miho Nakayama boxes would be welcome as well. Which artist(s) would you like to see?
