I don't know what it is that makes Lemon so popular with the Japanese, but its success is unbelievable.
Must be one of the higest selling single songs digitally ever now, but with lower digital sales overall today, this is more impressive actually.
Yeah, Oricon posted about it - it's only the third song to reach this milestone:

The highest is GReeeeN's Kiseki, which was certified 4 million and the other one Thelma Aoyama's Soba ni iru ne with 3 million also, both songs are from 2008.
