Oricon count on its own. It has nothing to do with avex. They are getting sales numbers from the stores not from avex. xD
Those rumors are baseless and sound like an excuse for why some releases are #1. It's pretty pointless to think that avex has anything to do with oricon's countings.

There was a famous article that was published in 2003 speaking out against Avex, saying that the chart numbers were very inaccurate for different reasons.
There was a court case between oricon and the guy who published this. There was an interview with someone who said he randomly inputted numbers for different ranks.
I don't really care... because now, I think Oricon is really kept under watch, but there HAS been scandals, like any business.
If you wanna know more, just google ORICON and UGAYA. : D~ that could give you more info.
But that's not the point. LOL.
In this case, obviously it's always been legitimate with Ayumi at least.
