Does anyone know if Billboard Japan counts foreign sales? I stopped buying CDs all together once Oricon started hating foreign people, but I may start buying albums again if Billboard doesn't care. I kinda want to support Kobushi's first effort more than just pick it up on US i-tunes.

SINCE WHEN DOES ORICON COUNT FOREIGN SALES WHAT
...Are you sure it's not talking about, CDJapan to within Japan supports Oricon, but CDJapan to outside of Japan doesn't?
No Berryz, No Life.
Please people, I'm a "he" not a "she".

Oricon still says this:
日本国外への発送商品は対象外となります
As far as I understand this means shipping outside of Japan is excluded.
So CD Japan will count but you can't ship it from Japan, proxy shipping services should still work? ie nothing's really changed other than at least it's easier for foreigners to buy from CD Japan rather than internal websites.
That's what it looks like to me anyway.

Given that CDJapan is the website for foreigner sales (
http://www.neowing.co.jp is the Japanese-language site), it feels like it would be very misleading for them to have that note on their site if no foreign sales are counted.
I've sent an email to CDJapan re: Oricon & Billboard Japan.

Yes for that reason it's definitely worth getting clarification.

I don't know if it'll be the same way in the final recording, but I love the way Sakurako (at least I think it was her) ends "Kenmei Blues" in the live performance. The way her voice trailed off was great.
