Saying it in red:
NINKI DOES NOT PREDICT SALES
Quote:
The NINKI ratings are the results of a poll conducted by Oricon indicating interest 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. having said so, they are NOT an indication of how it will perform in terms of chart positioning and total sales for the week.
Generally, they're good for figuring out who will get #1 or #2, but other than that... it's up in the air.
