Let me say thank all of you guys.
I have the 13 years career as an artist and finally I could get #1 on the Oricon weekly album sales chart.
Personally I don’t usually get so serious about ranking stuff, but I am so glad to see you guys and my staff are becoming happy and excited.
Also, I got lots of messages from Japan and oversea.
To be honest, I was so surprised with the tons of messages from oversea I got.*
I don’t think I could get this #1 but I am sure you guys and my staff could get me this #1 with lots of support.
Somehow I feel a bit mixed emotion to get #1 like this, however, here I should be simply happy with this #1.
This is my theory, the value of album is not the number of sales, but the number of playing by people. I will keep doing my best to make more music that many people play and listen to over and over again.
Thank you so dearly!
