I have no idea why I keep being surprised when EMPiRE does a thing right now. They have an album (on cassette!) to release! But no, I didn’t see this coming:
To pre-empt my own rising knee-jerk impulse to make little into something greater, I’ll refrain from too much commentary (you’re here for the music, anyway). Just:
- Dang, that’s some nice-ass songwriting — see, you can use familiar tropes in your work without making everything sound the same!
- That’s it for YUiNA, isn’t it?
- Individual chart ranks are meaningless without context, but the album made the daily #4 on Oricon, and
I think it was #3 or something in the weekly(I saw something else and my brain went CONFLATE). Somebody nailed it.

“and I think it was #3 or something in the weekly.”
The album was released today how did you see a weekly rating?
Pre-sale? I thought I saw something in a tweet somewhere.
Nope, the weekly rating is once a week – they can’t be on it until next week.
Day one sales includes pre-sales which is why many smaller groups do well on the first day and then often drops completely out top 30 (not that I think this will happen here).
I just went to the Oricon site and I was definitely seeing something else! I’ll update.
Can’t have that Breitbart image (saw someone on the babymetal reddit say this site was no better), LOL!
Now THAT is good.
