Popular Johnny's group, SMAP have topped the singles chart with their 46th single, "Boku no Hanbun." This is their 13th consecutive no.1 single starting from their 34th single, "freebird" (released in May 2002). SMAP are only the third group with no.1 singles in more than 20 years of career besides Southern All Stars (last single "I AM YOUR SINGER" with 31 years) and B'z (last single "Don't Wanna Lie" with 23 years). This single is also SMAP's 46th consecutive top 10 singles since debut. The title track is written by reknowned singer-songwriter, Saito Kazuyoshi, expressing men's broken heart.
