In the albums chart, Kuwata Keisuke achieved his 3rd consecutive week at the top with his special best album, "I LOVE YOU -now & forever-". This is the first time for him to achieve this in 25 years of his solo debut. The last time an album by a soloist reach the top spot for 3 consecutive weeks was "VOCALIST 4" by Tokunaga Hideaki (4 consecutive weeks from May 3rd~May 24th 2010), 2 years and 3 months ago. this is also the first time in 19 years and 10 months since Southern All Stars achieved 4 consecutive weeks at the top of the albums chart with "Yo ni Manyou no Hana ga sakunari" (September 1992).
Meanwhile, popular techno-pop unit, Perfume have managed to grab the top spot in the music-DVD and overall DVD chart simultaneously with "Perfume 3rd Tour「JPN」". They are only the second female artists to have topped the overall chart for 5 consecutive times since Utada Hikaru with "traveling", 10 years and 6 months ago.

Their previous DVDs to have grabbed the no.1 spot in the overall DVD chart were "Perfume First Tour 「GAME」" (October 2008), "Perfume 「BUDOUKaaaaaaaaaaN!!!!!」" (April 2009), "Perfume Second Tour 2009 「Chokkaku Nitouhen Sankakkei TOUR」" (January 2010), and "Kessei 10 Shuunen, Major Debut 5 Shuunen Kinen! Perfume LIVE @ Tokyo Dome 「1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11」" (February 2011). The first week sales for "Perfume 3rd Tour「JPN」" has also exceeded the previous work, making it their personal best so far.
In the Blu-Ray chart, the dormant rock unit, COMPLEX formed by vocalist Kikkawa Koji and guitarist Hotei Tomoyasu have achieved the no.1 spot with "COMPLEX 20110730 Nippon Ichi Kokoro."
