I doubt Interscope would just let their biggest release out like that.
I'm guessing this Japan story is fake. They're probably getting the shipment this Monday. I wouldn't expect anything before the official stream on Monday, with the HQ CD RIP leak being available somewhere mid next week.
'ARTPOP' isn't Interscope's biggest release - Eminem's new album is. Eminem always sells a huge amount of albums; it's practically a fact that he's going to outsell Gaga this era. If they were worried about leaks & sales, they would've held 'The Marshall Mathers LP 2' longer.

I would argue with you on Eminem outselling Gaga this era, but this isn't the place. As far as the shipment schedule goes, you have a good point.
Except there's no proof Eminem's album leak originated in Japan.
Doesn't matter where, I am comparing release dates to when they leaked, but we do know that multiple bloggers said they received their shipments yesterday.
WHY WHY WHY is everyone on twitter saying that artpop is for sale in stores right now in Japan?! If that was true we would have already got pictures of booklet and stuff...no?
They're misinformed. It's not for sale, it's just shipped there, meaning it's in backrooms / storage rooms of stores. That's how most leaks start -- someone steals a copy from the back room.

Well, then people should stop saying its actually in stores
