Note 1:
The NINKI ratings are the results of a POLL conducted by Oricon indicating degree of interest/degree of purchase intention in an upcoming release. Although the ratings are never a true reflection of sales, it does give a strong prediction about where the single/album will place in terms of popularity amongst the Japanese public. However, they are NOT an indication of how it will perform in terms of chart positioning and total sales for the week.
Note 2:
According to Oricon's note under the NINKI page, Oricon researches about 870,000 of its members by random sampling of 400 members in their 10s until 40s. 50 men and 50 women are chosen randomly to participate in each age group. (However, some popular artists have had NINKI exceeding 500, so we can only assume that Oricon has extended the polling to around 600/700 people now.)
Can B1A4 get no.1 album? I think UNICORN has a better chance at it, but their album will only drop one day later than others. And I also think that Ieiri Leo will surprise a lot of people especially these Oricon members surveyed. I won't be surprised if she gets no.1 instead.
Looks like no release, single or album, will make more than 100k next week. And Kuu looks good for 3rd, with Kiryuin Sho and SUPER GiRLS battling it out for no.1 single.
