Albums in Japan are very expensive and usually include content from singles. I think most fans of boybands are teens or pre-teens who can't really afford to shell out 3k yen for an album at one go but can stagger their spending by buying singles. But it's really odd that female singers have great album sales and so-so single sales in general.
