For overseas fans :
I got in touch with Oricon Service about the research process how they count alubum purchases on Oricon Daily/Weekly Ranking.
Here are the answer from Oricon
1/ Survey : CD/Album/DVD sold for Domestic market
at the stores designated by Oricon
( Lists: https://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/about/)
2/ Survey does not take into account of those directly
sent to the overseas because they only focus on the sales
ranking in the domestic market.
Therefore, you need an address in Japan so that you can specify where you receive your albums once in Japan, and upon receipt they will take care of delivery to your home in the overseas.
Tenso offers exactly this service for you.
1. Click the following link and go to Tenso HP
Here is a chart of the flow.
2. About the process
For detailed explanation about the shopping procedures
3. Registration ( you can choose Eng/Chinese/Korean)
Sign up and key in your information, then you will get
an address in Japan who receive your albums on your
behalf and will ship to your home country.
For any questions, please click the menu, then you will get
detailed explanation.
4. Online shopping
You can use any of Tower record, Amazon, Tsutaya.
YESASIA and HMV offers an English website but still you need
to specify your address in Japan first in order to reflect your shopping on Oricon Ranking.
