Question. Are DVDs & Blurays sales collected on the same chart for this stuff? Or are they added up separately?

I think they're calculated separately, based on what I saw with Ayu's.

^Glad that CDJapan's selling it. I'm not quite sure if YesAsia is selling it... :\

I'm sure YesAsia will sell the books in due time , I don't see why they will not do that

Just that it will take sometime for them to get them listed on their site for order
