Shin-Takarajima chart performance

sakanaction's 11th single, Shin-Takarajima, came in at 9th place on the Oricon Weekly Charts in its first week, selling 18,909 copies.

This is one of the lower-charting singles that sakanaction have released. However, the sales are actually not too different from their previous single. The week had a fair bit of competition, resulting in 9th place.

Despite the band's long break, they have managed to keep their sales somewhat steady. The single was helped by promotion from the "Bakuman" film tie-up, which debuted at the top of the box office. It was also released in 3 different versions, a rarity for sakanaction.

sakanaction will perform the song on TV this Saturday on music program CDTV.
