thanks for the info!

YAY <3333333333333333
Double platinum is awesome!!
ayu has no original or best album that is lower than double platinum ^__^.

Oooh thats great for her! ^^ Congrats Ayu!

That's good at least. I bet if it had copies shipped worldwide, the status would be much higher. :innocent

500k shipped! So there are about 150k copies lying around CD shops... Interesting.

uhmm i dont understand X__X


how come it says 292k in the oricon thing??

Oricon count sold in stores copies, RIAJ counts shipped from company copies.
For many artists it seems as of late that their companies ship a lot of copies way more than what it sold xD.

292k is the number of copies sold so far, recorded by the stores themselves.
The remaining number of the 500k are copies still in the store, or sold by stores that may not submit to Oricon.

ohh i see!

thanks!

Wow!
Another 2X platinum!

Thanks for the news!

It's a good news, thanks and congrats to Ayu!

yay! keep going!

Thanks Karen this is good news, though it would be better that the actual sales were close to that number.

(^-^d. awesome. sanks for the news~~.

Awesome News! Thank you! Double platinum is actually great! I'm so happy for Ayu. ^_^
