Oops I read 7,000 somewhere. 35,000 is a much better number lol

Yup, but I guess it goes both ways. The record companies make a lot more money per CD sold than the American ones do, so it's easier for them to keep artists that don't sell as well. But the other side of the story is that LESS of the earned money goes to the artist in Japan. : /
