Oricon & Online Sites Sales Question

[KarenPang]

Assuming that I decided to buy a Japanese single or album from an online site , which of them are counted towards the sales takings that's reflected on the Oricon website ?

I know CDJapan's 1 of them but how about other sites like HMV Japan ?

i don't think hmv's sales count towards Oricon

YesAsia sales do NOT count towards the Oricon.
The only ones on YA that do are Korean releases.

Important information about purchasing this product:

* Korean music products at YesAsia.com are sourced from distributors in Korea, and are reflected on the music sales charts reported by the Music Industry Association of Korea.

If it has that message, then it counts,
but the Japanese or Chinese releases,
do not have it in their description.

Thanks guys

I wonder why HMV Japan's not counted in the pic since they're well based in Japan & all
