There are also other certifications in other countries where it's rather easy to get Gold and so on, so it's not like Japan is alone.

I know like in Canada for instance You Were/BALLAD would have gone platinum..
Canada Record Asscosiation Cerification:
Gold: 40,000 units (previously 50,000)
Platinum: 80,000 units (previously 100,000)
Diamond: 800,000 units (previously 1,000,000) [5]
Note: Multi-Platinum certification refers to albums that have sold 160,000 units or more (i.e. 160,000 is double Platinum) but have not yet sold 800,000 units (Diamond certification).
haha I'm having fun with this. :]
