Ado's MAGIC jumps from sixth to fourth, continuing a steady rise toward its best position, while HANA's NON STOP gains two places to fifth, a promising climb given its just two-week presence.

YOASOBI sees consistent performance with 劇上 and 会心の一撃 positioned at 12th and 20th, respectively, showing persistence in chart-topping status. However, it's a tough week for some, like Sanitizer by OFFICIAL HIGE DANDISM, dropping six places to 15th, and HANA's My Body, falling from 25th to 29th.
