[hearted]

omg #3??? thats so goooodd~!!!!!!! CONGRATS NAMIE, HIKKI AND AYUUUUU
i'm also happy P!NK is there

[apple-pi]

I think western artists sell consistently, right? So since japanese artists have their sales concentrated on the 1st week, the show up on this kind of stuff... I think?

it's cool though~ I wonder if people who don't know j-pop look at these lists and think, "who the hell is that?"

[AMANDABYNES]
