NINKI index for AKIHIDE's Lapis Lazuli

Nice to see Lapis Lazuli being listed on the NINKI even though most if not all the time , this's not 100% accurate since the NINKI are based on 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 . However, they are not an indication of how it will perform in terms of chart positioning and total sales for the week .
I'm rooting for the best in Lapis Lazuli to do well & since next week's album releases are generally quite quiet , I hope it's able to shoot for at most a Top 20 position , just like what Amber was able to attain .
That said , I can't wait to get my copies of Lapis Lazuli real soon & I'm sure it's going to be something different for me to enjoy
