i love that MJ is on the list, even the top 10!

congrats ayu!! :yatta just how much is this in dollars

So glad she's the first female singer on the list!! And very happy for UVERworld being number 27, they really deserved it^^

According to google.

3436 million Japanese yen = 38.24268 million U.S. dollars

Wait..does that even seem right? XD

oh thats awesome for ayu ^____^

ah i only wish the preicos jrocks could sell well like that.

its really good that ayu is first female artist though :D

i used xe currency and i entered 3,436,000.00 JPY, which gave me $38,207.49 USD
i hope i am right..= =

yes..
it seems not accurate..
only 3 million yen for almost 1 million copies n for one cd it cost 1000 yen +
this for ayu's case..

Props to Ayu! $38 million...

The number is 3.436 BILLION yen, which is 37.21 million USD.

This was also posted in the You were... / BALLAD Oricon thread #2.

go AYU!

keep it up Ayu!

Congrats to ayu and uverworld :).

wowww that's not bad Ayu!!!!
top 10!!
she is still selling great even though ppl start to dislike her vocal and music?

Congrats to ayu!! I'm amazed that she's actually still in Top 10, considering she only released 2 singles, 1 album, and 1 DVD?

If she makes this much now I can't even imagine how much she was making when she used to sell over 500k per single.

actually its a 3,436,000,000 which is 3.436 billion, not 3.436 million

3 singles, 2 dvds, and 1 album. Anyways, this has already been discussed in another thread, but it is nice to see the full list now.

^ it is most likely that Misa-chan didn't know that the Oricon year ends earlier and that Days/GREEN too was counted :)

congrats Ayu =D she is the first female/solo singer?
