Notes: - Prague(#16) is a 3 member rock band, which did "Light Infection", the 8th OP of Gintama back in 2009. That singled debuted at No. 25 so this does not bode well for theire current single.
- Atari Kousuke(#13) is a folk singer with a distinct vocal style and he is accompanied here by the pretty and talented classical violinist Emiri Miyamoto.
- Aika Yoshioka(#12) is known primarily for singing the theme songs of the otome game and anime TV series, Hakuoki and add the OAV to the list.
- "Kimi ni Gohoushi"(#8) is sung by the leading ladies of Mayo Chiki! the last of which was just recently introduced.
- Uta no Prince-sama has likewise maintained its mini-domination with another new entry (#6) but this one has saxophone as its highlight, cool!
- "Be Starters!"(#3) represents a solo best for seiyuu Eri Kitamura. Her previous highest charter was "Taste of Paradise" the OP for Onii-chan no Koto... anime debuting at #28 earlier this year.
- 765PRO ALLSTAR(#1) with its impressive single consists of the cast: Azumi Asakura as Yukiho Hagiwara, Yumi Hara as Takane Shijou, Akiko Hasegawa as Miki Hoshii, Hiromi Hirata as Makoto Kikuchi, Asami Imai as Chihaya Kisaragi, Rie Kugimiya as Iori Minase, Eriko Nakamura as Haruka Amami, Mayako Nigo as Yayoi Takatsuki, Manami Numakura as Hibiki Ganaha, Asami Shimoda as Ami & Mami Futami, Chiaki Takahashi as Azusa Miura and Naomi Wakabayashi as Ritsuko Akizuki. Whew! Would have been No. 1 if it weren't for a trio of idol groups (KISUMAI2, DiVA & Supernova).
