Are there updated sales figures? I don't know how Japanese chart updates work.

We get daily updates (not cumulative, just how many copies it sold that day, and the next day that figure is no longer available, so it's hard to calculate unless you're keeping track of them), but we're getting the weekly update with how much it'll have sold over the week on Tuesday, I think. We'll also see its digital sales and the number of points on the combined chart (physicals, digitals, streaming).

even more than that...

 

also it's more than any of our western girls is able to sell in Japan (with their careers now). 

[Maroonx]

100K in a day in Japan today is like 1M a day 15-20 years ago, this is HUGE for a female singer there. congrats x

Well, Yumi Matsutoya's album opened with 190k copies two years ago, and she debuted 10 years before Utada was born, so... But I suppose that she did outlast her peers.

[robbyds]

With digital sales added hopefully she crosses the 200,000 mark
