We’re back with this week’s edition of Oricon Flashback. This is where we look back on what topped the charts this week 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, and 30 years ago. Think of it as a way to reminisce and learn about the past of Japanese music.
Oricon was on its holiday break last week in 1991, 1996, 2001, and 2006, so this week includes last week’s sales combined with this week’s.
