  • Juice=Juice - Senobi / Datejyanainoyo Uchi no Jinsei wa
  • Sexy Zone - Otoko never give up

Did you see that bold-italic-underlined material? That's a Johnny's. Sexy Zone - they're releasing a new single on that same day. And based on historical records that we've been keeping track of, they're pretty much a sure #1 for the week. There's no way Ayu's going to beat a Johnny's group! Ugh... More Johnny's idol domination...why do they (along with other Johnny's idols such as, obviously, ARASHI, SMAP, Kanjani8, Hey!Say!JUMP, Kis-My-Ft2, etc, as well as AKB48 and related) have to dominate the Oricon charts so often, leaving little or no room for other artists??? Ugh...

(And that's not even including Gackt either.)
Well, they are definitely selling what people want to hear. Maybe Ayu should become a Johnny's idol?...?
