Do CD Japan sales affect Oricon Charts?

[omably]

Hey All!

I was just wondering if the sales from the CD Japan site account to the sales which affect the Oricon Charts, I read somewhere that it does and I just wanted clarification! Sorry if this is in the wrong section, I couldn't think of a better place to put this! Also sorry if this question has already been asked before!

Thanks in advance!!~

I'm not quite sure about this either!

I once remembered reading that it does count in the oricon charts but after a few more months i read from someone else that they only count if it is ordered in Japan and not other countries..

well I was told that if you were to buy/preorder stuff from CDJapan it's counted towards Oricon

too bad it doesn't apply for HMV Japan too . Well that's what I was told . Not sure I'm correct on this

Well, it says that it does support Oricon:

It would be quite strange if it didn't count for foreign buyers since I'm sure most people that use CDJapan aren't Japanese. At least, if I was then I would use Neowing instead.

Cool, thanks for all of your input! I presume that Yes Asia sales don't contribute either?

no YesAsia doesn't because its headquarters's located in HK but if you were to be living in Korea , whatever you preorder/order from YesAsia it contributes to the chart/s in Korea

well that's what I was told

Correct, Yesasia's sales on Korean music contribute to the Korean Music chart.
