EBiDAN's 'Yes! Tokyo' Tops Billboard Japan Hot 100 With 1.3 Million First-Week Sales

EBiDAN's 15th-anniversary single "Yes! Tokyo" has climbed to No. 1 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100, powered by first-week physical sales of 1,313,739 copies — the highest figure on the chart's sales metric for the tracking week of Aug. 10–16. The single also ranked No. 3 on streaming within the same chart frame. (Billboard)

The track had debuted at No. 10 on the Japan Hot 100 back in July, when BE:FIRST's "Missing" held the top spot. At that stage, "Yes! Tokyo" was carried mainly by streaming and video points rather than physical sales. The surge to No. 1 came once CD copies hit the market in volume.

Five versions of "Yes! Tokyo" appeared inside the top 100 in the same week, each tied to a different act under the EBiDAN umbrella — a Japanese male idol project that houses multiple sub-groups. The M!LK version landed at No. 18, the GNJB version at No. 46, the Bullet Train version at No. 66, and the ONE N' ONLY version at No. 80. Multi-version CD releases, a standard practice in the Japanese idol market, are designed so that different configurations — alternate covers, bonus tracks or bundled event tickets — each chart separately while contributing to the same overall campaign.

Hearts2Hearts, a K-pop act making its Japan debut, entered the Hot 100 at No. 2 with "ICONIC HEART," released Aug. 12. The single sold 65,176 copies in its opening week.

Further down the chart, Florence Road's "Hanging Out to Dry" debuted at No. 97 on the Japan Hot 100 and ranked No. 4 on the radio airplay metric. Florence Road are an Irish four-member rock band making their first visit to Japan, where they performed on the Sonic Stage at SUMMER SONIC 2026 in Tokyo on Aug. 14. Radio airplay is one of several metrics — alongside physical sales, streaming, video views, karaoke and download counts — that feed into the composite Japan Hot 100 ranking.

What makes this week's chart notable is the spread. A male idol collective in its 15th year, a newly arrived K-pop act, and a four-piece rock band from Ireland sharing a top-100 frame in the world's second-largest recorded-music market tells you who is travelling to Japanese audiences right now — and how differently each of them gets there.
