*number in the bracket shows their last year position
Arashi managed to keep their top spot with their live concert DVDs (Arafes 2012 and Arashi Live Tour Popcorn) monopolizing Oricon’s half-year DVD ranking in 1st and 2nd place. Moreover, their last two singles also managed to hit the number one spot in singles ranking.
In addition, there’s not much change with the Top 5 ranking as compared to last year’s ranking.
