[jbrat2219]

Hecks yeah! It's back in the top 20 ^0^;

[SolarAngel]

Despite the razor-thin margins, it's still nice to see NL in top 20.

[ayuayu798]

[rakeru]

keeps rollin' indeed. i wonder if avex itself is satisfied with the sales? well, of course they're never satisfied, but are they at least a LITTLE not distraught?

I doubt they are happy. They shipped so many copies, i think there's a lot of unsold stock.

[ayumisrael]

But we also have to think about the copies they ship to outside of Japan and that they want copies to keep being in stores for many years.
(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
