Yamashita Tomohisa’s (Yamapi) new release “I, TEXAS” edges into the top spot on the singles charts with over 126,000 sold but very close in the second spot is AKB48 member Mayu Watanabe and her debut solo release “Synchro Tokimeki” with over 123,000 sold. Landing in the third spot is T-ARA with “Roly-Poly” [release details] selling over 41,000.

On the album charts no question for number one this week with popular group Ikimonogakari’s latest album “NEWTRAL” [release details] selling over 192,000. Number two goes to the anime Fullmetal Alchemist opening/ending theme (both original series and Brotherhood) compilation album (author needs to buy that album). Rounding out the top three is voice actress/singer Minori Chihara’s album “D-Formation” [release details].
