i think this billboard has the same basis as oricon or they base their ranking at oricon.
^ There's a Japanese news article that says the album's coming out on late April, just in time for the dome tour ^^ Not official though, since I haven't found any other site with info about the release date, so I would say it's still unknown.
I'm not sure about this either, but I think YesAsia will never count towards Oricon/Billboard/whatever because it's not established in Japan (like CDJapan, HMV, Amazon, etc) but in Hong Kong.

so may be we'll have arashi's new album for april ne?... those are excelent news !... is just i heard it will be out by the end of this year or the next... i better like it to be for april
Yesasia will never count that's sad to hear... but it could count as international sales couldn't it?.... and all the others stablishements that doesn't count in Oricon.. may be included in Billboard... Am i wrong?
well whatever is like i still think Billboard is more reliable than Oricon
i emailed yesasia regarding this oricon ranking issue, i'm still waiting for their reply.
Actually Oricon itself has confirmed that YesAsia is not included. Their figures only come from the stores in Japan which CDJapan, HMV and Amazon are based at, and also Tower Records if it's overseas.
