Traditionally yes, it is the bigger holiday. But Japanese are also very Christmas crazy - much of the gift giving is on Christmas these days. Usually for New Years, gifts of allowance are given (money). Then there is also the fact that many stores are closed on New Years and a few days after.(Which is why instead of coming out January 1st, which would be the normal release date, the cd will be in stores by the 29th which gives at least 2 days of buying before stores shut down.)
