Her official website mentions Bitter & Sweet selling over 200,000 copies... I thought Oricon only reported the sales of that album being 100K, no?
Well, there are always two sides to this story. Oricon can't track ALL sales and there have been some disputes in the past that they might misrepresent them. On the other hand, record companies like reporting higher numbers to make their artists seem more succesful. My guess is the truth is somewhere in between, especially because the album hasn't been certified Platinum (as far as I can remember.)

As opposed to Crystal Kay's Color Change, that was certified Gold but only sold like 35.000 >.<
