Has anyone heard Right Mirrorcle?
It's so great! I know it's offtopic, but as it's related to MW, I'm putting it here:

Mirrorcle World already officially gained platinum certification =)

No, RIAJ certificate all releases by shipped copies not by copies sold in stores.
(m)u was certified a million since it shipped over a million.
MW is certified platinum because it shipped over 250,000 copies.

(for others example, kumi's Kingdom sold 606,000 and was certified triple platinum for shipping over 750,000 copies, kumi's BEST ~second session~ was certified 2 million for shipping over 2 million copies though it sold around 1,820,000 in stores and not 2 million).

That's how certifications work.

Thanks for the explanation! But I feel that this method of certification can be manipulated quite easily. That explains why secret is triple platinum. Doesn't this mean that there are 50k unsold copies of MW?

On the other hand, a friend said that not all japanese stores submit figures to oricon since you have to pay oricon a fee to state that your store is submitting figures (fans will buy from those stores to contribute) so maybe that's one good thing about counting copies shipped instead of oricon figures. And seeing that MW is quite difficult to find in Japan right now, there may be more unreported figures than we think.

1 A-side + 3 B-sides, just like Mirrorcle World. Mirrorcle World also has a total of 6 versions, while FREAKY has 3.

FREAKY did very well by its own merit. Just saying that A-sides, B-sides, couplings whichever it's called, it had 4 new songs whereas MW has 1 semi-new song, 1 new song and 1 remixed song albeit a different one for 2 versions. If MW had 4 new songs i would expect it to chart at least 250k copies. Speaking of which, has it stopped charting?

But I thought MW did get platinum status? (since it's based on shipped copies)
Or am I messing this up? o___o

Update on the positions:

163 115 ***,541 *,191,764 12 浜崎あゆみ 「Mirrorcle World」

I guess, the 13th Week will be the last week for MW.

MW existed on charts for 13 weeks?!?!

Its performance much MUCH better than GUILTY's 2 singles and "Startin'/BTB..." single!

I'm really impressed that it has done as well as this. I mean my goodness, some US artists barely see those sales figures for a studio album. But yeah, since it's her 10th anniversary single it makes sense - plus MW is a damn good song.

Yah, I want to see MW sell at least 600 less for the "suppose-TO-BE" last week of it.
After all of the chart weeks, im happy for its performance.

Thus the x1.75? I thought it was because some stores don't release figures until the end of the week so everyone in this forum speculates with this factor. Anyways, i understand the RIAJ certification method now thanks lol...

If you guys look at the oricon charts recently, it's starting to make me really wonder at the no.1 for MW. Shuchishin's new single's 1st week release is better than MW's combined sales and their previous single is back in the top 10. Be thankful for small mercies.

MW's #1 isn't surprising at all since the sudden promotion and gifting (in ayu's tour too) avex gave this single in the middle of the first week was huge and the sales got higher almost like the first day sales.

If it wouldn't happen then it would be surprising.
