EBiDAN's "Yes! Tokyo" returns to the top spot on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 chart, marking its second week at No. 1.

The song also maintains its position at No. 2 in video views and No. 2 in streaming. The track's success can be attributed to TV appearances on NHK's Venue101, which have contributed to an overall point total of around 141% of last week's figure.

The track has entered the top 10 with a No. 6 position in sales. Other notable moves include Motoki Ohmori's "Haiiro" rising to No. 1 on radio airplay and No. 4 in downloads, and fav me's "Nyan te Zurui no!" debuting at No. 3, with No. 2 in sales.

Meanwhile, =LOVE's "Koi, Hajimemashita." drops to No. 4, and The World Standard (Wasuta) debuts at No. 5 with their new track "Watta Life!" King & Prince's "So Honey" enters at No. 6 after its CD release on September 2. Spitz's "Mishiranu Ito" rounds out the top 10, sitting at No. 10.
