Well that really sucks. "whether they are still counting everything sent domestically in Japan via CDJapan. They did not know the answer" --but this. wth. so domestic sales are iffy too? then which sales are being counted in the end? I am confused and likely reading this wrong fhdsjk
Ugh, this is so aggravating. I do think there's a whack load of international fans, specifically in East Asian countries like Thailand, Korea and China, to make a significant difference (based on KT's 2010 tour and online fanbases). I understand what Oricon is doing from an analytical marketing perspective, but it's still disheartening how we're unable to support our groups. This was the only way overseas fans could affect and feel connected to them or whatever and now it's like--IT WAS ALL AN ILLUSION. < / 3
Actually from what I saw Asian fans often let other fans bulk buy for them... So I actually think or well hope that at least they make their sales count.
It sucks especially because like you said if they don't even know whether the domestic sales count... Just Wtf.
I gonna cancel my order today cause a friend offered help.
We can't go to their concerts, we can't understand their language and we can't even support them... =/
Ooh maybe! But for China at least, I thought fans there got their copies earlier than the rest because of some deal with the shops?
The whole argument about posting leaks before the official release doesn't really hold anymore either; it doesn't matter if that encourages or discourages us to buy because it's not like our sale will count anyway. :/
sob, I have an increased appreciation for KT for still thinking about overseas fans even though we truly don't do much ;; ♥
Wow, I'm shocked. I'm hurt that international sales aren't included in the charts. I'm frustrated that those sites haven't updated or informed their customers about this policy change. Clearly they know about it but their websites don't reflect that. But thank you for sharing this info.
For a country which prized itself in its efficiency, that was an extremely inefficient reply. Oricon doesn't even know for sure whether they are tracking deliveries within Japan???? Does this mean that they are only counting over the counter sales????
Faint. Sorry, but why buy then???? Because by sharing and commenting on the KAT-TUN related sites would show the same amount of support. Actually it shows more support, since our sales contribute to nothing!
