With this single, his number of consecutive years to top the chart has been increased to 5 consecutive years. Fukuyama is now the 4th male solo artist to�achieve this after Kondo Masahiko (during 1981~1985), Tahara Toshihiko (during 1980~1985), and Nagabuchi Tsuyoshi (during 1988~1993).

He has also renewed his own record for the total number of chart topping singles (for singer songwriters) raising it up to 16 singles, which is followed by Utada Hikaru with 12 singles.
