* Market lacks direction ahead of BOJ easing decision * Softbank supports with gains after huge dividend hike * Nintendo loses 6 pct after first operating loss By Sophie Knight TOKYO, April 27 (Reuters) - Japan's Nikkei inched down on Friday after Spain suffered with a two-notch credit rating cut, but investor attention was fixed firmly on the Bank of Japan to see if it announces fresh easing measures later in line with market forecasts. The Nikkei share average dipped to 9,551.12, just above its 13-week moving average of 9,542.93, while the broader Topix fell 0.2 percent to 808.13. "Where the market ends up today depends on the content of the BOJ package rather than whether there will be one of not," said Masayuki Otani, chief market analyst at Securities Japan.
