allkpop



The DVD for Studio Ghibli�s masterpiece, �Tonari no Totoro (My Neighbor Totoro)� has managed to stay on the Oricon DVD Ranking chart for 500 weeks!

This DVD was released back on September 28th, 2001, and has stayed on the rankings for exactly nine years and ten months as of August 1st.This is the first DVD that's managed to rank for 500 weeks ever since Oricon began its DVD chart in April of 1999.

"Tonari no Totoro" has sold over 1,084,000 copies in total, and although it's only 9th place in the 'Oricon Generation DVD Sales' ranking, the DVD is known to sell twice as much during summer vacation, so that figure is expected to boost with this summer's sales.

Other Studio Ghibli works in the TOP 100 DVD rankings are �Karigurashi no Arrietty (Arrietty)� (in 7th place), �Majo no Takkyuhaibin (Kiki�s Delivery Service)� (in 80th), and �Tenku no Shiro Laputa (Castle in the Sky)� (in 92nd).

Great job, Studio Ghibli!
