There have been some changes to the reporting style here on the Blog. Please refer to the post here for further information.
All of the data you find below are all thanks to TSUTAYA, one of Japan’s largest bookstores chain which has around 1,200 stores in its local market. You can check out their website here and show them lots of love! As for access to TSUTAYA’s weekly sales charts, you can no longer do that on their website. Instead, you will have to download their app as noted here, though it will be difficult to access without having an account associated with Japan or a VPN. To access the sales data, be sure to click on the “Analytics” accordion and then click “Chart”. This should bring you to the Google chart page that contains the latest available sales data (usually for debuts). Note that TSUTAYA does submit it sales data to Oricon, for more information about the stores participating in Oricon’s daily surveys, please see here.
Without further ado, the full Top 30 is as follows:
