Mao dyed his hair red

In his ameblo post it says:

"Had an image change.

Got a haircut.

A Crewcut!?

Though it looks like a crew cut, it's actually red, close-cropped hair.

The red colour is something that is amazingly fresh and new.

Doe is suit me?"

2.   Uso - 58,714
3.   One Way - 42,622
4.   Sleep - 41,440

8.   Cosmetic - 35,360
9.   Nidome no Kanojo - 31,007
10. Fuyu no Bench - 25,206


Sales for Fuyu no Bench is quite disappointing and is the first single since SID's major debut to not get top 5
But this is most likely because it was released at the end of the year where sales are usually lower anyways...
