Hana yori Dango Final, the theatrical finale to the recent live-action adaptation of Yoko Kamio's Boys Over Flowers manga, sold 7,456 more copies in its fifth week of release to add to its total of 315,466. As of the previous week, it became the top-selling DVD of 2008 — topping Evangelion: 1.0 You Are (Not) Alone's 297,927 copies.

Hana yori Dango Final rose from #8 to #6 on Oricon's top-selling DVD chart in Japan.
