OKay, i have come to the conclusion that it ONLINE sales do not count toward ORICON.COM whatsoever----not that YesAsia gave me a response. They haven't yet.
The reason is because i checked ORICON---someone with better japanese understand, please make sure i'm right. Here is the website.

Scroll down to the bottom right---click on it and it will link you to this page which lists the music stores of the stores that count in the oricon charts.
