It’s been revealed that “A.N.JELL with TBS ‘Ikemen Desu ne’ Music Collection“, the original soundtrack (OST) for the drama “Ikemen desu ne” and A.N.JELL’s debut album, has sold 150,000 copies in its first week, topping the Oricon Weekly Album Ranking for the week of October 17th. This marks the first time that a TV drama OST took first place in the charts.
The band A.N.JELL is comprised of actress Takimoto Miori, Kis-My-Ft2’s Tamamori Yuta and Fujigaya Taisuke, and Hey! Say! JUMP’s Yaotome Hikaru. Until now, the soundtrack for Kimura Takuya and Yamaguchi Tomoko’s 1996 drama, “Long Vacation“, has held second place on the charts, the highest position for a TV OST album. The record has now been broken for the first time in 15 years and 4 months.
The album has also set a record for selling the most copies in its first week as an OST for a TV drama. The previous record was set back in 1992 with the soundtrack for Yasuda Narumi and Nakamori Akina’s drama, “Sugao no Mama de“, which held 4th place with 65,000 copies sold in its first week.
“Ikemen desu ne” is a remake of the Korean drama, “You’re Beautiful“, which starred popular actor Jang Geun Suk. The album comes with two discs and features four songs that A.N.JELL performed during the drama.
