They prolly shipped the same (or at least similar) amount to what Rock'n'Roll Circus sold

Oh... So that's how that works. Makes sense.

It's always a guessing game by the companies. Obviously they have to ship more than will be sold, or else there'll be a scarce, but they can also overestimate a release. Crystal Kay's Color Change! was certified Gold for 100,000 shipments, but only ended up selling 35,000 copies. Bye bye profit. On the other hand, AKB48's Beginner was already certified Million from the start, because they KNEW it'd reach and pass it.

Ayu's Next Level was her last to be certified Double Platinum, but sold like 120k short of that, so I'm guessing that they're shipping somewhere between Platinum and Double Platinum now...

Wait, does RIAJ include the shipment of all versions (Japan, Korea, HK Press) within Japan and the rest of the world?

Nope, just Japan press. After all, it stands for Recording Industry of Japan ; P

Yeah that way they'll minimize the losses, especially considering the trend of her releases. And if the shops request more albums they'll easily print some more.

Were the standards for platinum lowered since 2000?
Just wondering, with the overall declining of CD sales...

As far as I know they weren't. At least not in Japan.

quadruple platinum?

Nope. It's called Million.

Japan is the only country in the world with a "Million" certification XD. And to be honest, I think it's a bit silly. This way, you can't differentiate between an album that sells 1,000,000 copies and one that sells 1,850,000, just because the second one hasn't reached 2 Million yet. If they'd just keep Platinum, you'd see these differences.

It's what England has, with Platinum being the highest certification with 300,000 in sales. And England album sales aren't that different from those in Japan : /
