Tohoshinki hits 2012 with their Spring ballad “STILL” and will land in the #1 spot on the weekly Oricon charts with over 130,000 sold.
Over on the album charts well…. its really too close to make a good prediction for the top spot. In the mix will be SDN48 with their final album “NEXT ENCORE”, miwa with her album “guitarium”, and Ikimonogakari who has been in the top spot for two weeks in a row with “NEWTRAL”. All three should have over 40,000 sold but SDN48 with a very strong pre-order total on the first day may narrowly take the top spot…..
