It isn't really surprising that Fukuyama Masaharu got #1, he is way more popular than Miwa and Ayu.
He could record himself singing in the shower and still sell more than them.
Thanks for clarifying. The hit wasn't as hard, but I'm a bit disappointed Masaharu Fukuyama stole miwa's thunder. It shows why the Japanese music race for Oricon #1 is way too congested, where today's #1 artists generally consists of male artists (whether it's Southern All Stars, Mr.Children, EXILE/EXILE TRIBE boybands or Johnny's boybands) and AKB48 (and related) idols today...

It's pretty tough if you're a female soloist. miwa may have tried her best, but Masaharu Fukuyama has a more proven track record than her...
