(I mean poll releases after they are released) =P

I don't think it will be ^_^ That would mean direct competition against Kanjani8, their NINKI was over 200 and I can't remember the last time Ayu's NINKI for a single was that high.

The thing is though, if it goes like it has in previous years, even though the release date is the 29th, it will be in stores at least a few days before that which puts it in part of Kanjani 8's week. It's possible she could still get number 1 the next week, but her sales are very front loaded, so its hard to know what will happen.

^ even though it's in stores a few days early I doubt we'll be getting the numbers until it's actual release date. To be honest, I am positive she'll have another #1 single. Avex wouldn't change the release date for no reason.
