Before I really didn't think that iTunes could be a factor in sales...but maybe it is. Everyone's downloading now, and iTunes is really more convenient...maybe a lot of people have turned to downloads. The video is only 400 yen...

So if you buy both songs at 200 yen each plus the two vids at 400 yen...that's 1200 yen.
Well, the RIAJ did state that of all digital downloads, downloads through the mobile/cell phone make up 96%. So I'd think that cellphone music services like Chaku-Uta are way more popular than iTunes.

Here's the TOP 100 for the 3 different types of downloads on Chaku-Uta (Full song, Ringtones, Vids)
