Introduction

The Internet Music Festival (imusicfes) is an annual music competition in determining the most popular Japanese song on the internet. This year is the 14th year imusicfes is being held, with major names like Kobukuro, Ai Otsuka, ORANGE RANGE, and Utada Hikaru clinching the top rank in previous years. There are still about 48 days until the voting is closed, but YUI is way too far back for me to sit around and watch! This is fanwar!

How to participate

1. http://imusicfes.com/?usr=e44fc <– click on this link, and look for YUI (currently as I write this, she is ranked 45, on page 3  )

2. Vote for YUI, HELLO ~Paradise Kiss~ (click on the large gray button next to it that says “投票する”)

3. You start with 10 points, so you can vote for YUI 10 times, giving her 10 points.

01 83.80 YUI – Green a.live
02 54.50 SUPER GiRLS – Joshiryoku Paradise
03 27.70 DEEP – Kimi Janai Dareka Nante ~Tejina~
04 26.20 Piko – Yume Hana
05 24.60 Kikkawa Yu – Hapirapi ~Sunrise~
06 21.00 SHIN HYE SUNG × Kiyokiba Shunsuke – I Believe
07 18.70 Base Ball Bear – Tabibito In The Dark / Slow Motion wo Mou Ichido part. 2
08 18.20 back number – Omoidase Nakunaru Sono Hi Made
09 17.50 Fujimori Shingo to Ayaman JAPAN – Shiren Baby
10 16.80 MIYAVI vs KREVA – STRONG

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.)
