* These figures have all been announced by Sony Music Japan ** This shipment figure was announced in a press release when Glitter debuted. RIAJ certifications are based on the amount of records shipped to stores minus returns, meaning if there are many copies of an album on the shelves at retail and there is no demand for them, they will be shipped back to the record label and will not be counted in the certification.
Before 2003
- Gold = 100,000 shipped to retailers and record clubs
- Platinum = 200,000 shipped to retailers and record clubs
Since 2003
- Gold = 100,000 shipped to retailers and record clubs
- Platinum = 250,000 shipped to retailers and record clubs
