Johnny�s 7-member group Kis-My-Ft2, who celebrated their one year anniversary on the 10th of August, grabbed first place on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart for the week of August 27 with their fourth single �WANNA BEEEE!!!?Shake It Up� (released for sale on August 15). �Their single sold 285,000 copies in its first week after release.
This is Kis-My-Ft2�s fourth consecutive first place ranking, which started with their debut song �Everybody Go� (released for sale in August 2011). It's a brilliant achievement for the group as such success has not been recorded since Hey! Say! JUMP's achievement with their single �Mayonaka no Shadow Boy� 3 years and 10 months ago on November 3, 2008.
�WANNA BEEEE!!!� is the theme song for�TBS' ongoing drama �Beginners!� (Thursdays, 9 PM), which stars members Fujigaya Taisuke (25) and Kitayama Hiromitsu (26). �Shake It Up� is the opening theme for Nihon TV�s �Shiritsu Bakaleya Koukou� drama (ended in June, movie adaptation to open in October), which stars member Miyata Toshiya (23).�This was released as double A-side single.
Their current single exceeded their previous single �SHE! HER! HER!� (released in March, first week sales of 193,000 copies) in opening week sales by 92,000 copies, and it's also Kis-My-Ft2's first single to exceed 250,000 copies in the opening week sales since their debut single.
