[There are gaps in the chart above because non-animated Blu-ray Disc releases are not included.
SoundScan Japan derives its charts from the point-of-sale systems of
41,000 media stores and e-commerce sites throughout Japan. SoundScan
Japan's methods of surveying home video sales are different from those
of the competing firm Oricon, which often lead to differing results
between the two.
Neither firm directly posts more data for weekly sales than what is
listed here. Any purportedly additional data comes from unverified,
anonymous sources.]
