And I don't think NeoWing/CDJapan/Amazon Japan sales are counted in Oricon if you don't live in Japan because this sites know if you're overseas or not, so Oricon probably probably don't count the sales after all they have to count JAPANESE sales and it would be a big mistake if they counted sales from US like they came from Japan just because they were bought from a japanese website. If you buy your album from Amazon.com and you're not from US, Billboard won't count the numbers.

just in case you didnt know.. CDjapan and amazon.co.jp DOES count for oricon.. doesnt matter if you are oversears or what, since its bought in a JAPANESE store. it doesnt matter the destination.. its the same if you went to japan go to a store, bought the cd and went back to your country.. you still buy the album from the japanese market
PERIOD
