Oh, and 3.5 million is great for only releasing "Memorial address", "No way to say", "Moments", "forgiveness", and "&". Fiscal years begin in July and end in June (unless thats different in Japan too :x)
do artists in japan get paid by each cd they sell???
for example: they get paid Y50 for each cd n they sell 1,000,000= Y50M
