Sparkle was released as a double a-side with the song Rule as the second single from Ayu's tenth album NEXT LEVEL. The single debuted at #1 with sales of 95,000 copies, becoming her 20th consecutive #1 single. The song was used in commercials for the Honda Zest Spark.
TABOO was released as the second single off of Kuu's seventh album TRICK. The single debuted at #1 with sales of 66,000 copies, becoming her fifth #1 single. Combined digital and physical sales stand at nearly 340,000 copies.
Happy that she made it to #2, TABOO is such an amazing song in every single way, it has everything that makes Koda worth of J-Pop's Holy Quartet. It's funny tho how if this was Japan the top 4 would have been something like:
1. First Love
2. Can You Celebrate?
3. M/SEASONS
4. Ai no Uta
Sparkle wouldn't be in my top 10 but I'm proud Ayu made it so far, when Kyle said early on that the top 10 was missing a girl I thought she was guaranteed to be punched out earlier The graphics all slayed btw
