5 Per un pugno di dollari
6 Lo chiamavano Trinità …
7 … e poi lo chiamarono il Magnifico

First of all, I’m Japanese, so I can’t understand English well.I apologize if my writing is incorrect.I am making and uploading videos about spaghetti westerns to YouTube in Japan.
I previously compiled and uploaded a ranking of the popularity of spaghetti westerns on the internet.What I noticed was that, similar to the example mentioned in the comments, there were works that were considered unpopular in Japan at the top.So I wanted to know about works that were hits in Italy but were unknown in Japan.Thank you everyone for your comments. I especially found the box office numbers published in books about Spaghetti Westerns to be helpful.Thank you for your help
What is your channel?
I run a small channel with the title ”マカロニウエスタン専門チャンネル”（“Macaroni Western Specialty Channel”）.

Thank you everyone for your many comments. And when I saw the valuable materials, I was amazed. I found it interesting to see the differences in the works supported by different countries. Thank you very much.
