'Jet!/Sunshine' entered the Oricon charts at #4, but has dropped to #7 since... not bad.

Let's see where they come out on the weekly chart next Wednesday (Jpn Time). Hopefully the first & second day sales will keep them high enough to make top 5 in their first week. ^^

Looking at his newly arrived Jet/Sunshine/Amoretto discs, this was...

I came across some Oricon stats at JPOP Music Forum about DCT:

These are the artists with multiple albums currently in the top 100 (in July 19th):

DREAMS COME TRUE 7
B'z 7
Mr.Children 6
Ayumi Hamasaki 5
ZARD 5
Hikaru Utada 4
Namie Amuro 4
GLAY 4
Southern All Stars 4
Yumi Matsutoya 4
globe 3
Every Little Thing 3
MISIA 3
SPEED 3
Mariah Carey 3
JUDY AND MARY 2
CHEMISTRY 2
CHAGE & ASKA 2

Koda Kumi should most likely be added to this list by next week (1st things & 2nd session) and in the process make DCT the only ones with 7 in the top 100 (Because a B'z album would drop out).

Also on Orion's poll, they asked 20.000 music fans which artist they liked:

5 - Dreams Come True ( 2005 - 11)

I'm very happy to see that DCT is still popular in Japan. They were the most popular band in the japanese colony here in the late 90s. Now they are completly forgotten...
