Mizuki 21st single, “Phantom Minds,” sold 54,000 copies in its debut week last week. No other voice actor has ranked as high as Oricon began to place their cards in January 1968. “Minds ghost” is the theme song for Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha The Movie 1st Anime, where Mizuki reprises the character Fate Testarossa. This remake of the film Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha anime television will open in Japan on Jan. 23.

With “The Phantom Minds’” # 1 ranking, beat Mizuki own previous record high # 2, she earned her first “song Eternal Blaze” in 2005. His “Shinai” song debuted at # 2 on the weekly singles chart with 42,630 copies in January, and 2008’s “Trickster” Similarly only reached # 2 with a high staff 57,201 copies. Last month, Mizuki debuted on Kohaku Uta Gassen (Red and White Song Battle), the year-end contest singing that is Japan’s most watched television program of music.

Before Mizuki, Megumi Hayashibara held the record for the CD single highest ranking for a voice actor with his song # 3, “Northern Lights” in 2002. The other voice actress who have come to # 3 are Maaya Sakamoto (2008’s “Triangler”) and Aya Hirano (2009’s “super pilot”).
