The Top 40 J-POP songs - Week 38 of 2024 – OnlyHit Japan Charts

In this week's top 40 chart, we see a notable stability at the top, paired with various significant movements in the middle and lower ranks. Creepy Nuts' "Bling-Bang-Bang-Born" maintains its position at number one for an impressive 11th consecutive week, while OneRepublic's "Nobody - from Kaiju No. 8" holds firm in second place for the fifth week running. Lower down the line, King Gnu's "SPECIALZ" and BABYMETAL's "RATATATA" both slip one place, landing at third and fourth respectively.

YOASOBI's "アイドル" makes a modest ascent to seventh from eighth, while the highest new entry of the week is "ファタール - Fatal" by GEMN, Kento Nakajima, and Tatsuya Kitani, debuting at the eighth position. Several songs face declines, including YUNGBLUD's "Abyss - from Kaiju No. 8" and Kocchi no Kento's "Hai Yorokonde," both dropping four spots from last week's standings.

The charts also welcome new entries, with SiM's "The Rumbling" entering at number 20 and the collaboration "Stay With Me" by Sam Smith and Hikaru Utada debuting at number 37. In contrast, tracks like "Burning" by Hitsujibungaku and "熱情のスペクトラム" by Ikimonogakari see significant declines, dropping seven and eight places respectively. Finally, a few tracks show slight upward movements, such as "遥か彼方" by ASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION, which climbs to 29th from 30th, and RADWIMPS' "Zenzenzense - movie ver.," moving up to 32 from 33. As the dynamics of the chart evolve, it's evident that a blend of consistency and fresh entries keeps the chart lively and engaging each week.
