We’re back with this week’s edition of Oricon Flashback. This is where we look back on what topped Oricon this week 5, 10, 15, and 20 years ago. Think of it as a way to reminisce and learn about the past of Japanese music.

On June 3, Negoto will release their new single “DESTINY.” “DESTINY” is the ending theme for the TV Tokyo anime series “Gintama°”, which premiered on April 8. The single comes in 3 editions: a CD+DVD Limited Edition, a CD only Limited Anime Edition, and a CD only Regular Edition. The DVD that comes with the CD+DVD Limited Edition features footage from the band’s tour from earlier this year. The Limited Anime Edition features the anime ending version of “DESTINY”, plus the song’s instrumental. All editions of the single feature a remix of the band’s 2013 single “Synchromanica” done by the band’s guitarist Masuda Mizuki.

Negoto recently released the music video for “DESTINY.” The video for the upbeat song shows that things often happen for a reason. That a delay of a few seconds can have can have a very different outcome on life. Check out the video after the jump along with the single’s covers and tracklists.

Actor Fukushi Sota will be starring in Fuji TV’s next Getsu9 drama “Koinaka” (tentative title) in July. It has been 4 years since his debut as an actor and it will be his first time starring in a primetime drama. Fukushi “I do not feel so much anxiety or pressure, it’s more interest, curiosity and excitement”.

Fukushi has appeared in various works- dramas Kamen Rider Fourze (TV Asahi), Amachan (NHK), Kyou Wa Kaisha Yasumimasu (NTV), and movies Kamisama no iu tori and Strobe Edge.

Fukushi plays the protagonist Miura Aoi, who was born and raised in Toyama Prefecture. He leaves Toyama and works as an assistant at an architectural firm in Tokyo. One summer day, he was reunited with his first love and childhood friend, Serizawa Akari. Aoi starts realizing what real love is with the help of people involved around him.
