Talk:Seiyuu
I would like to have a "Records" section in this article listing all the records and achievements held by different seiyuu. But I can't seems to find a complete list, nor can i think of how to format the section.
Here is what I have so far.
- Highest charting album: Mizuki Nana - "Ultimate Diamond"
- Highest charting single: Mizuki Nana - "Shin'ai"
- Best selling album: Hayashibara Megumi - "Iravati" - I think it is. I have yet to see one that has sold more.
Any thoughts or help on this is appreciated!! ~ Themonkeyofdoom 16:04, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
- Here a list of best selling albums and singles by seiyuus:
- Best selling single: Mezame Pocket Monster by Matsumoto Rica: 1,127,760. By the way, , why I don't see Motteke! Sailor Fuku and Seikan Hikou by Nakajima Megumi?
- Best selling album: iravati by Hayashibara Megumi: 277,060
- Here a list of best selling albums and singles by seiyuus:
- First seiyuu single to reach #1 on Oricon daily chart (on the first day, thanks to Gundam SEED) is Honoo no Tobira by FictionJunction YUUKA (personally, I don't consider it a 'seiyuu single' since Nanri was in a pop duo with Kajiura), following by Shin'ai by Mizuki in January 2009 and then Don't say "lazy" by Sakurakou K-ON Bu in April 2009.
- Houkago Tea Time by HO-KAGO TEA TIME is the first character album to reach #1 on the weekly charts, it is still the best selling character album to date.
- For the weekly charts (according to an article by Oricon published when Ultimate Diamond topped the charts (I can't find it now)):
- First seiyuu album to enter top 3 is iravati by Hayashibara (1997): #3
- 2nd is Single Collection+ Nikopachi by Sakamoto (2003): #3
- 3rd is Ultimate Diamond by Mizuki (2009): #1
- For the weekly charts (according to an article by Oricon published when Ultimate Diamond topped the charts (I can't find it now)):
- Longest charting character single are:
- Suzumiya Haruhi no Tsumeawase by Hirano Aya and Goto Yuko: 129 weeks with 146,059 copies.
- Hare Hare Yukai by Hirano Aya, Chihara Minori and Goto Yuko: 92 weeks with 125,349 copies.
- Longest charting character single are:
- XD, just found the total sales ranking, I thought I lost it (up to July 2009)
- 3,708,000 TWO-MIX (is it considered? It a pop duo too)
- 3,670,693 Hayashibara Megumi

- XD, just found the total sales ranking, I thought I lost it (up to July 2009)
- I think Motteke! Sailor Fuku is still the best selling group single up to now (maybe Don't say "lazy" will out sell it).
- I think the first seiyuu/anime song to enter top 10 weekly is Ai Oboete Imasu ka by Iijima Mari in 1984 (^_^ Lynn Minmay) (CAT'S EYES by Anri in 1983 was a pop song used for anime). After that, Iijima stopped working as a seiyuu and works full-time a singer but Lynn Minmay is still a big role, the first anime music to made a hit.
