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

From the Namie thread:

I've also been (trying) to keep track of the totals and if anyone wanted to know, here's what I got (re-releases count as 1 item as do 8cm/12cm):

Ayu - 46,561,345 (55 singles + 31 albums) Average: 541,411
Hikki - 34,596,270 (23 singles + 5 albums) Average: 1,235,581
Namie - 27,724,201 (36 singles - starting from Taiyou no SEASON + 12 albums) Average: 577,587
Kuu - 10,192,397 (39 singles + 9 albums) Average: 212,342
BoA - 7,311,416 (26 singles + 9 albums - excludes Korean CDs released in Japan) Average: 208,898
Mika - 7,024,148 (23 singles + 7 albums) Average: 234,138
Ai - 6,199,093 (17 singles + 5 albums) Average: 281,777

[Luv ~Venus~]

^Hmm....I don't get it. Sorry for being blunt but what does the average mean? In fact, what does all of that mean?

^ The average the artist would sell, whether it be singles or albums, I believe. LOL No-one on that will ever really sell that many in singles again. With emphasis on Namie, BoA, Mika and Ai.

[Luv ~Venus~]

^Oh, okay. That would be a slight disadvantage wouldn't it? I mean, most of the artists on the list sold more than the others.

[criminal]

To quote BoA, a line I just heard from Sweet Impact "Whoaoa!"
I once had a dream like this, that AHS had its own Oricon thread and it has come true. :O I go to the JPM one like 5 times a day.
LOL I even see that dddaiyamondo is here. : DDDDDD

So I guess the right thing would be to comment on sales, huh?
Well then, HEART STATION's sales are somewhat of a disappointment. I had always thought that all of the people who bought Flavor Of Life would go out and buy the album in its first week. But maybe Hikki will be stable in the coming days? Or maybe she won't and she'll be even more stable in the coming weeks? I hope so. GO FOR THE MIL, HIK.

[Luv ~Venus~]

^Please tell me you got tired of going to that forum, so now you're happy that AHS has one of it's own? *crosses figures*
