On April 30, 2016, the song entered
Billboard's
Japan Hot 100 at number 3, based on strong radio airplay and digital sales. The next week, it rose one place to number 2, which became its peak position on the chart. In its third week the song fell to number 7, then to number 9 and continued to slowly drop down on the chart during the following three months. After 16 weeks, it fell off the chart on the issue dated 20 August, but re-entered the next week at number 64. Boosted by the release of the official music video in early September, "Hanataba o kimi ni" shot up 52 positions from 79 to 27 and then stayed in the top 40 nearly uninterrupted until early November, reaching number 23 shortly after the
album's release. It again descended down the charts and stayed in lower positions throughout November and December, but re-entered the top 20 after New Year's Day. It has spent 45 non-consecutive weeks on the Hot 100, over a timespan of more than a year and a half. The song has received a double-platinum
