Wat is platinum in Japan? 250k? Or is it 500k? Either way i Bet it will happen

[Luv ~Venus~]

^Yea....platinum in Japan is 500K (I think.) lol If not platinum, it's double platinum!!! Either way, Hikki needs to OWN 500K by next week.

Namie's single is out of the top 3 and hikki's album first day's sales are less than kumi's Kingdom x_x"
hikki is going to lose the more than 500,000 copies for first week streak T_T.

[TITANIC]

aww. i think hikki 1st week lower than 500K even 400K...

[AyuGAME]

I think now's the boyband domination era in Japan

[Luv ~Venus~]

What the hell? I wake up to that. Ehh....such low numbers for Hikki. I still have faith in 500K.

it's only the 1st day , there're still 6 more days to go .

if the sales are consistent thoughout the next few days then she prob wouldn't lose the 500K + streak

[Luv ~Venus~]

^Your right. I hope it does stay consistent but even if she doesn't get to 500K, it'll get to 400K for sure. teehehe I'm still buying the album. Screw anyone that does want to buy it because of her sale numbers.

Namie only sold 5k today. =x And yeah, I like the HS sales, so it's all good! :]

And Shokotan's at #4! Yayyy! (I guess we'll never see her naked then...)

Edit; Omg and Mai Kuraki is at #2! Finally a top 5 single again~

[ayu_fan929]

I wasn't expecting 500k+ 1st week for HEART STATION, so I'm not surprised with these numbers.

[AyuGAME]

^shokotan is in number 4?!
then she won't run naked at shibuya? hahahaha
