You might find cheaper but I doubt so, Namie's tickets usually sell like hotcakes.

Thank you for your answer That's a little bit more than I expected In general, what do you think are my chances to even get a really good seat (if I'm crazy enough to pay) to the show, do those even go on sale to the general public, or only to the fan club? Also, I might change my plans and try to go to one of the Yoyogi shows in November (that way I won't have to pay for train to Osaka), any idea of are those tickets even harder to get, and would the price go even higher?

^^Last time I went to book off I found the cd version of Easy Breezy by Utada. I need to go back.

It is my no 1 fav place in osaka haha next is daiso.
I bought my 2nd hand kinki kids singles collection 1 there for 700 yen or sth. Then there's other albums/singles - prices differ depending on condition and popularity of item. I went to 5 diff book off, each sells diff item e.g. some store have limited edition of namie's album arashi blah blah, while others dont...
Anime, music, figurines, cosplay costumes etc

Ballada was #13 on its 3rd Week's 2nd Day, not #11
And where did you get those 4,954 from? Oricon doesnot release numbers outside top 3 anymore.

[freedreamer]

it went back to #2?!?! omgawd

[Rocky Raven]

^ haha it was my wrong paste from the 1st day, there's no number ) Anyway the total is still the right number since I didnt sum-up that 2nd day

And thanks for fixing me with the #13, which means that she jumped even higher than I thought lol

[brener]

Ballada will likely be #2 this week ^^

That SPRiNG cover, omg, the glasses!!
...I have a thing for glasses, ok, don't judge me.

Kinda glad I didn't buy it on CDJapan now. I want my purchase to count.

[ILoveGeniuses]

^I thought purchases on CDJAPAN do count on Oricon?

I ADORE that Spring cover. She looks fabulous.

Also, I could never compare Namie, Ayu, Kuu, Lady Gaga, Katy Perry or BoA. They're MY TOP FAVORITE artists. They're my personal Queens. The world can have their fads, phases, opinions and so forth. As long as they're all making great music to my own ears, no matter the sales, I'm just genuinely overjoyed.

Btw, they announced LS2014 awhile ago. Have they not announced anything more new about the tour?

[Delicious n Bold]

They don't count anymore unfortunately...

This was posted at JPopsuki regarding CDJapan and Oricon:




I'm not sure what the exact source is, though, aside from it originating from a Johnny's fan inquiry somewhere.

[ILoveGeniuses]

^Just on their website it still says at the bottom in a little icon "CDJAPAN Supports Oricon Music Charts" which is why I'm confused a little.

However, if I HAVE to be in Japan to have my purchase count, well I don't have money to run off overseas just to grab the latest JPOP/JROCK release which I want to buy every time an artist I like puts out an album or concert Bluray. I'm very shocked by this. Seems like Japan's trying to seclude themselves off internationally while Korea's more into trying to grab that attention now that there is the large international fan base.

EDIT: Nevermind. I clicked on that icon and this came up.>> http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/guide/help/product/oricon

[Rocky Raven]

Actually CDJapan is not listed on the Retail Suppliers system (HMV, amazon, TOWER.jp...) that provided when you click on the button "buy now" from Namie's official website/source.

So for the last few years, I have been buying Namie's album/BVD from HMV.
