(miss) understood sales..

(miss)understood's reported sales total is 877,500 according to Oricon.
But according to RIAJ, it sold over million copies and got Million certification.
So which one is accurate?

[Andrenekoi]

Albums are generally certificated according to shipment.. So, 1million shipped, what means that the stores bought +1million copies...

But according to Oricon, people bought 877,500 of those copies from stores. ^^

Remember that Oricon doesn't count every single copy sold in Japan, so, the album actually sold a little more than that

Aaah.. I got it now xDD~
Thank you for answering!

Btw, what about Avex sales?
Like BLUE BIRD, it sold 258,566 but Avex reported 322,000.
Did Avex count it personally?

[isthisLOL?]

That's the same. avex counts, how many are sold to stores. But oricon sales are how many of those the stores sell to customers.

Sure~ I got it now!
Thank you guys~
