Wait, Oricon doesn't count Amazon? Then how could it possibly be accurate?


I meant sales to outside of Japan not being counted on Oricon, AFAIK domestic sales via amazon.co.jp and Neowing/CD-Japan get counted on Oricon charts, e.g. see:

http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/guide/help/product/oricon


Oricon not counting overseas data is not quite correct. They do count it, but they segregate the overseas sales data from the domestic sales data when they release the Tuesday data on Oricon Youtaiju and the Thursday data on Oricon Biz.

The reason why the overseas data is not included is that they don't want the accuracy of the domestic sales data to be affected by overseas sales data, since the percentage of domestic sales amongst the total sales has slowly decreased over time due to overseas buyers becoming more prevalent. The majority of Oricon Youtaiju and Oricon Biz subscribers are really only interested in domestic sales.

Hm, I thought Euphonium would've gotten in the 9K range, perhaps breaking into the teen range. 6K+ isn't bad, but I thought it would have pulled bigger numbers than what it's gotten.
