That's why artists like Ayaka can't sell 100k overall with there singles and then manage to have huge download certifications.
what about the remixes and especially the karaoke versions? can you download them too?

in my opinion japanese singles have a lot more value to them than most western ones. I don't really get why people don't pick it up who like the song and maybe some remixes of it. damn those double a-sides, they destroy value.
