Nope. It's called Million.

Japan is the only country in the world with a "Million" certification XD. And to be honest, I think it's a bit silly. This way, you can't differentiate between an album that sells 1,000,000 copies and one that sells 1,850,000, just because the second one hasn't reached 2 Million yet. If they'd just keep Platinum, you'd see these differences.

It's what England has, with Platinum being the highest certification with 300,000 in sales. And England album sales aren't that different from those in Japan : /
