Episode Details

≠ME just shattered records with their new single “Ai Kudasai Mase,” rocketing to 1 on Billboard Japan Hot 100 — their first-ever chart-topping hit. The track surged after a viral music video and a massive CD sale of over 431,000 copies, proving their growing global appeal. Meanwhile, fresh faces like MAZZEL and SixTONES are dominating the top ten, while legends like Hikaru Utada make bold returns. Kenshi Yonezu and Keisuke Kuwata remain unstoppable, with “Karasu” holding strong at 2 and “Hitotarashi” climbing fast thanks to new album momentum. This chart’s blend of sales, streams, and karaoke data paints a vivid picture of Japan’s explosive music scene — and ≠ME is leading the charge.
