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.

It’s been about two months since Maho Yamaguchi went public about her assault. On her way home she was attacked by two men, luckily she was able to escape from the men after being roughed up. What made this even more horrible were the allegations that some of her own group mates had something to do with it.

In now deleted tweets and videos, Maho outright stated that the men claimed they received information about Maho (address, apartment number, when she should be reaching home, etc.) by the mystery group mates.
