I like how Momoclo's new single sold like 60,000 copies in its first week, and AKB's new single sold 1.4 million in one day.

Obviously AKB is much more popular than momoclo, but if they just had two versions and no extras like momoclo, I wonder how much their CDS would sell? 200k?

AKB has a bigger musical repertoire than many other musical groups and share the same composers with many musical acts that you wrongfully consider "more serious" (let me guess, you consider Kyary part of the cathegory).

Your second statement is pure retardation, please go ahead and give me a list of all the "serious" groups that AKB or any other idols have put out of business in the last years. I'm curious to know who was on top of their kill list.

I can't tell if you're arguing for the idol business or against it because the idol cancer has plagued the Japanese music industry since the 90s and the young novices you want to see break through the mold are unsigned or self-signed indie bands, not literal whores that sell their souls and bodies to get some TV drama spot after years of draining people's pockets and by-proxy damaging the industry.

I wasn't talking about akb <-> the rest of the idol industry. My comment about akb not being music was obviously a derogative one and as I'm not a fan of mainstream pop. I didn't mean it literally.

I don't consider Kyary an idol and I don't particularly like her music either and I've also grown alienated to Nakata's works in general lately. LEVEL 3 was mediocre and CAPS LOCK was outright bad save for one or two songs.

This is pretty much the same argument people have for mobile game whales. Of course it's their money but they are still ruining the gaming industry with their stupid habits and it's their fault and the fault of the people cashing in on them.

And Japan's way of dealing with it is making heavily monetized mobile trash. On the other side companies like NIS/CH/IF/GUST have started churning out the same shit annually with little or no variation between the games, most of which is made to pander to dumb otas who don't look for anything in their games other than panties of underaged girls.
Home console and handheld sales are dropping every year while mobile game profits are sky-rocketing. PAD makes 3 million every day and it's still only really popular in Japan.

You see, the problem with these images and this trend is that making good music isn't rewarded. All these sales obviously have nothing to do with any of the music these idols make, nor with their musical talent. They're simply tools for wota to get their favorite idols in a center position. The result is a stagnating music industry that is hardly even about music and more a personality cult.

So to recap, your posts are nothing but:
-Ad hominem
-White unique snowflake delusions

No, really, you gotta stop posting.
Also in case you don't get it, I'm not the reseller who bought those boxes (and who with any chance is currently making big money reselling everything piece by piece on auction sites), so you are barking up the wrong tree.
If a simple photo causes so much emotional confusion within you, I'm really sorry, but you still have to direct your complains at the proper recipient. So go ahead, track down the Jap guy who bought all that stuff and send him a strong worded, pointless post just like the ones you're bothering me with, then see if he cares.
Oh wait, I forgot you don't know Japanese and probably can't even find the idol boards on 2ch even if your life depended on it. You're completely clueless about the situation, in fact, which doesn't surprise me at all.

Just a few factoids for your consideration:
Koi Suru Fortune Cookie has been the top most requested karaoke song for the last 10 months and counting.
In fact, the most requested songs in karaoke for the last 3 years have been AKB songs.
You're whoefully misinformed if you really think that the popularity thing goes no farther than a couple of anecdotal photos of a reseller buying stuff wholesale.

How does people buying these election singles en masse ruin the music industry though? It's not taking sales away from other more talented artists. Even most hardcore AKB fans recognise that the music is nothing more than catchy but ultimately meaningless pop.

He actually thinks that money is being diverted away from his faves even though there's no evidence of that ever happening. The best part is that those kind of egotistical people don't condemn the act itself but who's the recipient of this support so if say, instead of resellers buying AKB goods en masse, they bought some obscure shit country singer CD en masse they would instead experience something close to a female orgasm.

Momoclo sells good amount of dvd's / blurays more so than cd's. They have 9 in the top 100 music blurays on amazon right now many of which are quite old. Still its obvious AKB is more popular, they have more mainstream appeal and the scams to sell multiple copies to autists sure don't hurt.

If you want a list of the composers and directors who worked on AKB's songs and PVs, nobody's stopping you to go on the Jap Wiki and check yourself. The last thing I'd want to do is spoonfeeding the other side of the argument that's directly opposed to me.
Just wanted to point out how hilarious it is that some people that are brainwashed by peer pressure into disliking something on principle don't even realize that music composers in Japan don't work only on one group's family or one's genre usually.

To say AKBitches are whores and have massively inflated sales isn't very controversial. are you one of those 3rd worlder /a/tards who browse the akekasu threads?

I think it's reality, and it has been for a while. What do you think caused the huge jump in average development costs from the 6th generation to the 7th? It wasn't otaku, it was the sudden surge in mainstream popularity. The companies you mentioned have been doing what they are doing since they started. They've always been niche developers catering to a niche audience. They're just doing it faster now because they can't afford not to. You're not going to find anything different anywhere else. Developers can't just eat failures anymore, so they'll do the thing that guarantees them the most money. Is not big surprise.

Ahahah, I'll remember that quote next time I jack one off to Moga's gravure.
I love that guy because all of his fucking articles are like that. He just tries so damn hard to convince himself that his personal preferences are some sort of vox populi, that sometimes he slips up and puts his foot in his mouth.
For all its namedropping it's pretty damn difficult to believe he doesn't know what their members actually do for a living.
Also, when has there ever been a trend toward Denpagumi? Even in Japan it's a just underground thing.

the anti stablishment self-employed artist illusion is gone.

Idols factories are just like any other factory, they hire employees, employees produce, the factory sells the product.

They get paid dramatically less than their "western" counter parts, they have fewer rights, get public humilliations if they don't obey the rules, they are easy replaceable, just like any common worker

Will we ever get to see an idol union? Will they ever aquire class consciousness or this they do not teach in the glorious nippon education system?

Yes, it's pretty much the price of a CD. What sort of funny story have they told you on the other side of the wall? That there's some sort of hidden unwritten contest that you can only access to when you buy 100 copies of it or something. Go ahead, do amuse me with your blind ignorance you stupid piece of shit.
