In this week's Oricon CDsingles chart, Megumi's "Successful Mission"
is number 7, with 66,450 sold.
(the song for Nadesico is number 9 with 53,540)
The number 1 and 2 are over 100,000, so that seems way out of reach.
Kouda Mariko's "Yume ha Hitori Miru Mono Janai" was 24th at 21,600.


I don't know what the numbers are like for CDs, but it will be
interesting to see how high Megumi can go.
(I will definitely try to buy as many of the 1st press CDs as I can find.
 I wonder how many they will make..)

Enfleurage sold 97,000, so Bertemu should reach 100,000.
Her ranking for next week will depend heavily on what other jpop
artists release CDs in the same week.  If it's a low week, she
might reach number 1.  But if a couple major groups are releasing
something, she doesn't have a chance.

Bertemu is a "best hits" CD, but it will also contain a few new songs.
