Rule/Sparkle [NINKI]
 
Ayu's NINKI for Rule/Sparkle is 126.20
http://www.oricon.co.jp/rank/ns/

SINGLES
01 126.20 浜崎あゆみ - Rule/Sparkle
02 84.80 flumpool - 星に願いを
03 70.90 DREAMS COME TRUE - GOOD BYE MY SCHOOL DAYS
04 70.10 小田和正 - さよならは 言わない
05 56.20 湘南乃風 - 親友よ
06 55.70 新垣結衣 - piece
07 45.90 abingdon boys school - STRENGTH
08 40.80 大塚愛 - バイバイ
09 38.30 RIP SLYME - STAIES
10 34.50 すぎもとまさと - 曙橋 ~路地裏の少年~
___________________________________
Days/GREEN = 150.80
Mirrorcle World = 84.00
talkin' 2 myself = 127.90
glitter/fated = 154.70

So judging by NINKI, this single could sell pretty much the similar way talkin' 2 myself did, as we predicted. Also it's weird how Aki's releasing an album in the same week (she has also released TODAY in the same week talkin' 2 myself was released, and her first week sales were less than t2m's xD). I guess that considering that this single is meant to promote the album it's ok :)

marekcarey 20th February 2009 10:03 AM
aww i hope more than t2m :)))

Lanz16 20th February 2009 10:07 AM
Eh?

Another possible t2m sales?
I do hope not!

How can it tell if the single can sell well on those numbers given by NIKKI?

actually, NINKI doesn't tell you the sales and we can only guess/compare with other singles.

SURREAL__RAINBOW 20th February 2009 10:25 AM
awww noo

anyway, i hope that she reaches to top 1 in charts :D


thanks!

KarenPang 20th February 2009 10:34 AM
it's quite good , at least she's more or less guaranteed the top spot

the chart action will be interesting after Rule/Sparkle is released , single wise :innocent

Ah... okay! :)
I do hope ti sells well since DB:E will contribute its sales.

MissElin_ 20th February 2009 10:45 AM
Ah okay okay. Like you said, it good promotion I guess. ^^

SunshineSlayer 20th February 2009 10:46 AM
A relatively low Ninki, but I was expecting even lower considering that it has next to no promotion. I really wonder what Avex is doing. Not even taking TV into account, she has no mags scheduled even though she has a single this week and an album next month - all of the March mags are already out and a number of the April ones too.

flumpool actually has a surprisingly high number there - I thought Tohoshinki would be second. flumpool has been on the rise recently, hopefully this single won't be their big breakthrough.

Yeah, the upcoming week is just a prelude to March-madness xD

@SunshineSlayer - Bold&Delicious NINKI was better than all of the ones I posted and it sold terribly, but yeah I agree that considering everything this isn't bad. As for Ayu and AVEX not promoting the single - I am really starting to doubt they'll do much, but will instead concentrate to promoting the album.

you made a good point , I'm surprised Rule / Sparkle is virtually getting no extra promo

I guess avex's relying soley on the fact that Rule's being used to promote Dragonball Evolution , that's why probably so

But if they are really focusing on promoting the album, there should at least be some magazines that are known by now don't you think? Unless they really aren't planning on promoting the album until AFTER it has come out. Also interesting, is that they have apparently filmed at least up until the March 10th episode of Heyx3 (Arashi is going to be on it and fans reported about their appearance) Heyx3 audience is always made up of fan club members, which is how the Japanese Ayu fan sites usually know her tv schedule before Avex posts it. Anyways, so unless they film a last minute segment or something and add her in to one of the episodes, she likely will not be on Heyx3 for at least another couple of weeks. Just really weird considering Ayu's history of promoting on TV imo.

The Bold&Delicious thing is interesting/scary. It was released just a month before her album too and it sold poorly despite the fact that they actually promoted it a lot. Although B&d was very experimental, it still isn't really a good sign for Rule.

I really wonder though about how much DBE is actually being promoted there. I barely hear anything about it in America and I heard even less about it when I was in Japan last week.

Anyways, if you haven't noticed, I'm worried about this single. haha. :) The only good thing going for it is that it is being released at a time without much competition.

The NINKI looks good enought, but I'm still rather worried...

Ninki is rather weird, sometimes it is a good indicator and sometimes not. Like MW ended up selling much better than was expected based on the Ninki and then sometimes releases with high ninki's end up falling flat. :shrug

sanzo2011 20th February 2009 12:05 PM
i'll be very happy if it can sell like that in the first week ! actually i don't like it so much

Well you do have a point, maybe AVEX thinks that the tour will be enough to promote the album :( It's not like GUILTY had good TV promotion as she only sang Together When.. to promote the single and we all know that she did 0 TV perfs to promote the actual album when it was released. But yeah all of the other singles would have scheduled TV perfs by now :( I don't really think DBE will do much for Rule/Sparkle plus the movie is coming out in March. On the other hand considering low-to-none promo. activities Rule/Sparkle's NINKI is quite good.

^The April cover for Vivi is due out in 2 days, so lets hope Ayu is on it since that is usually the main magazine she promotes with. If another week goes by with still nothing announced, I might have to start giving more credence to that so-called "blackout" rumor going around Japanese BBS.

It was discussed at the end of this thread: http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showth...=84356&page=26

The issue is still kinda up in the air. Although I just read that possibly Dragon Ball was at least finally mentioned on M-Topics tonight.

How did I not see that xD Oh well, as far as my memory goes she did cancel her Music Station Special performance (October 13, 2006 ? Music Station Fall Special ? "Jewel") in 2006 due to health problems, so I kinda doubt the rumor is true (hopefully) :)
