I didn't have trouble comprehending it, I just thought it wasn't a valid point and ignored it since I already offered an explanation before that you seem to disagree to anyways.

I'll ignore the first part of your post ^^ You are aware that the real crisis only had a go at Japan in 2009? So yes the release date is majorly important. As my Japanese friend told me, many people, especially students and younger people are the ones who are losing their jobs due to the crisis. Considering the fact that they are mostly the ones who actually purchase music, I'd say their financial situation is pretty important. I think it's pretty obvious something's wrong as even Namie Amuro's sales have fallen drastically compared to 2008. Sure there are still people who manage to sell well (of course one can never diss a popularity factor), but I doubt there will be more than 2 albums that will actually pass the 1 million mark.
