It's in Japanese...

and from what I got off Wincy's translation in Chinese... I think that's what it says XD

If I'm wrong, then somebody correct me XD

我其實是在2ch看到這消息的~
雖然好多人也說Oricon只計了80萬左右，但有些日本人說Oricon只統計了join了Oricon 的唱片店的銷量
日本的大型連鎖電器店Bic Camera也有(miss)understood的銷售Campaign，不過Oricon是不計這些店的~

這也可理解的~日本的報章去年在2005 top sales single "青春Amigo"發行2周即宣佈"青春Amigo"100万，不過Oricon的統計即用了4 weeks才100万....以往好多唱片也是這樣..Oricon的統計會比外界發佈的少~~

不過通常大家都會認為Oricon會公佈每周銷量，所以Oricon的統計較官方(不過日本唱片協會也會說自己是官方...)到底真的過了100万沒有就不知道了~~~^_^;

Congrats to Ayu!

*note - according to saywindies@AHO:
the article says that oricon do not include sales of certain music stores and chains hence her sales are over 1 million by now though oricon only counted 800k.

RIAJ only counts the units shipped, not sold. thats y they say 'evolution' was a million seller, when it wasnt. im still sticking w/oricon as they do give a number, instead of some levels. but thx for the news anyways...

edit: i read the little thing in chinese, it says that she got it from 2ch.....i've heard dont always believe in wut ppl say at 2ch (ie just like dont always trust things from wikipedia)....

I don't know if we can trust that.

sounds great! :D thanks for the news

With the title, my initial thought was "well, finally! Maybe Startin' encouraged that..." but reading other people's comments make me sort of question that o.o

Well I'd be excited if it was true but no one knows as of yet ^^

Really? Well, congrats I if it's true! But based on what I've read on other threads, she'd only sold like 200,000 copies, and that was only like last week i checked.

I hope it's true. That would be amazing!

It would be cool if this was true!

sales > oricon... it's not so stupid because oricon just takes care about japanese sales... without the worldwide sales (China... etc...) and Ayu is famous in other countries

I believe it. Tons of people buy stuff online.

it's too good to be true
but if this counts all shipped records and not the sold ones, then I got my doubts about it

Hope this is real.. but it probably isn't reliable.

I'm not sure if I can trust this number or not too. However, from the article it says that Oricon does not include some record stores so I would say that might change a number a little bit but I won't say huge. But as the article says that Oricon are always a little bit slower getting the number so in a few weeks (miss)understood might break one million!!

that would be good news. i don't know if i can trust it though...

It would be nice if it was true though

Thanks for the info. Just hope it becomes true.
