Oricon #1 / Billboard Hot 100 #1: KEN☆Tackey – Gyakuten Lovers (not released digitally or for streaming)

Watch here

Ronald: I enjoy this at times, and then I hate. I really liked the beginning; it was a fun 00s dance pop song. But then the chorus came, and all I got was children’s TV show. Especially with Miyake Ken’s voice. The man is beautiful, but his voice isn’t. 5/10

Oricon Digital Singles #1 / Billboard Download Songs #1 / Billboard Streaming Songs #1: DA PUMP – U.S.A. (Oricon #20 / Billboard Hot 100 #2)

Ronald: Same review as before: The eurobeat, the eurobeat, the eurobeat… I’m a bit of a sucker for it. It’s just so fun and nostalgic. It doesn’t take itself too seriously. It is what it is. 6.5/10
