O wow! When did CDJapan sales stop being taken into account? Or was it all along :X

Uhh sometime in like 2012 or 2013?

A few years ago, because Oricon decided to stop counting CDs that are shipped overseas.

Curious to see the translations, especially the first three tracks.

I thought the physical version of the album was going to to include the CDL rather than thr TA Tour, so that's a really positive surprise to me! Too bad I'm short on money :(

Ummm. Shame. I might try mu-mo then if the covers and stuff are good. I think they have international shipping now.

I'd really love the TA concert, though. I wonder what the track list will be! I hope Pray is on it.

It's the finale Tokyo show, but I don't think Pray was during that one.

I imagined something like fairyland pv... w

Actually mu-mo/fanclub doesn't count for oricon either, because it's owned by a company (avex) or smth.. hence why none of nissy's singles charted, or koda kumi's dance in the rain etc.

Wouldn't that mean concert venue sales would also be completely void? Odd.

I'm more into a INSPIRE-like PV :p

Yup... Which is why oricon isn't too accurate anymore.. they exclude: concert venue sales, corporate owned shops (is that the expression?) like mu-mo, sony's equivalent of mu-mo no idea what the name is, digital sales ofc, music cards (which is why almost nobody does them anymore now), fanclub sales etc. Pretty much all they count is japanese CD stores (in Japan) and that's it.

So oricon might be left only as a professional index for store owners to know how much a release would be sell at their shop and marketing workers (?)

^Actually said their intent is mapping the market for marketing purposes, so they need accurate numbers. Label centered sales tend to be inflated and people out of Japan doesn't matter.

mu-mo isn't counted?? I didn't know that o_o
Considering all Avex-related groups fanclubs are based on mu-mo, that's a lot of sales not being counted :/

^Well, to be fair, as long as Avex gets the money, they probably aren't much bothered.

^ true, true... it still sucks though :/

Here's to hoping that they include the songs from other dates as bonus material. In particular, I want Present and Pray.

I don't expect they will, but I really really want the performances of those two songs as well.

This may be a dumb question, but can you buy the TA version at the concert venue? I really want to buy the album while I'm there but I also really want the TA version lol.
