I'm VERY happy that she's doing well in iTunes, but I wouldn't say this is an indicator to how good her digital downloads and whatsoever are...

I'm sorry if I pissed anyone off.
Yeah, but like iTunes Japan is basically the only place you can buy Japanese music in MP3 format, everything else is in WMA and you can't put that in an iPod, and iPods are, like everywhere else, very popular in Japan.

It's just one of many indicators of how well she's selling ( ).

Oh everyone, right now at MUSICO, Sunrise is currently at #2 and Sunset is at #7, pretty close to iTunes's ranking.
