(For examle copies of Japan Version you buy from yesasia are from avex trax in japan).

Btw it's #24 today.

I really wonder when & how these copies are counted.I usually buy in yesasia & I have the impression that my copies don´t have any result in the terms of sales anywhere,it is like I have not buy the CD(I bought almost all the CD albums,posters,calendars & DVDs of Ayu & all are Japan versions because my DVD zone) in yesasia...that thing makes me sad...

Of course Thanks for all the sales updates & positions ranking!n__n

I think this is why we have to take Oricon records with a grain of salt. Not all stores submit their figures there, I think that if we took the "shipped" record (which I think places NL at 450k? - can't remember! ) and subtract about 150k (which are stocks in stores across the country - I'm going by music stores here that have between 30 and 50 copies of Top 50 CDs in the store at any given time - how many CD stores are in japan?!?) we could say that's a "good guess" of how many JPN versions have actually been sold world-wide...

^ well RIAJ certified NEXT LEVEL Double Platinum in that 500K copies are shipped out

there're still about 110K lying all over the CD shops in Japan though

yeah the top 3 albums sales for this week are awful with KAT-TUN's Break the Records taking the #1 spot with it having 200K+ for its 1st week sales which sucks as it's such a fantastic & amazing album & it's my fave album for the 1 1/2 of '09 , Johnny's wise

except Yuna Ito & Ken Hirai whom will be releasing their albums at the end of May , I don't know for other 'big' artistes that will put out new releases

pretty high chance for NEXT LEVEL to hover in the top20 for the next few weeks
