I mean, I can't speak for everyone but Ore no Kanojo and Tomodachi and Boukyaku are my favorites so I just wanted to put in my two cents.
I personally don't see what's so special about Nijikan Dake no Vacance. I just can't get into that song no matter what. I mean it's still good, no doubt, but it just... doesn't do anything for me.

I also love the concept of the song. It's kind of a breath of fresh air for Jpop, a song with substance and creativity. But the whole album is like that really.

Manatsu No Tooriame was my top favorite for so long and I think I killed it by overplaying it.

Tomodachi and Jinsei are rising to the top of my favorites list.
For Nijikan Dake No Vacance, my instant reaction was that it reminded me of 2000's Utada vocally. I liked it when I first heard it and it has grown on me since. I feel like the collab with Sheena Ringo really adds to the song, without her I think the song would be a little repetitive and not as fun.
As for those new sales, wow. What if it becomes the best seller of 2016?
