What the blinking flip is going on with the bottom end of the chart?

Oh – we’re almost at Golden Week. That might explain it a bit. Not a lot, but a bit. Ish.

Explain why the bottom appears to have fallen out of the market. Sales of everything but the most popular stuff always slow down dramatically just before a public holiday in Japan, and especially for Golden Week.
