The Japanese version of the soundtrack to Korean drama "You're Beautiful" topped Oricon's weekly album chart during the first week of October, according to its website on Tuesday.

Oricon's official website showed that the Japanese soundtrack to "You're Beautiful," which has been remade in Japan and is currently showing in the country, claimed the No. 1 spot on Oricon's weekly chart.

The album features the Japanese version of the songs sung by the leading actors as well tracks by the members of JUMP, Kis-My-Ft2 and Takiomoto Miori.

The Japanese remake of "You're Beautiful" stars Miori Takimoto, boy band Kis-My-Ft2’s Tamamori Yuta and Fujigaya Taisuke, and boy band Hey!Say!JUMP’s Yaotome Hikaru who have taken on the characters originally played by Korean actress Park Shin-hye, singer-actors Jang Keun-suk, Jung Yong-hwa and Lee Hong-gi, respectively.

Park was a girl in boy disguise who joins popular rock band A.N.JELL and gets caught up in a love rectangle with its members played by Jang, Jung and Lee.

The show maintained relatively strong viewership ratings despite competing against KBS blockbuster drama "IRIS" starring top actors Lee Byung-hun and Kim Tae-hee and was a success overseas as well, selling its publication rights to several broadcaster's throughout Asia including CCTV (China), BBTV (Thailand), GMA (Philippines), MATV (Singapore) and KNTV (Japan).
