Yeah, of course not all of their sales are from otaku/overly obsessed fans, but a cute idol group, full of MANY girls, is bound to get quite a few of those fans, to say the least.

And wait. Wait wait wait. Are you guys serious about the 800 copies thing!? I thought you were joking. Please be joking....... 'Cause that is some seriously super-unreal ****.

It's not a joke... They do have some crazy fans who are really rich and buy hundreds of copies....
Just their last single, I saw someone selling 100 copies of it for 10000 yen in an auction, so each single is like 100 yen only
