It's funny that back when AKB48 weren't very popular (and before they came up with lots of ridiculous marketing tactics) , people were moaning Johnnys' were over saturating the market & that was also around the time when ARASHI had a 2nd surge in popularity
Being a long time Johnnys' fan , I have never seen them restore to such extreme marketing tactics . Exceptions are when in 2009 for the 1st time , they had to issue a last minute poster giveaway for KAT-TUN's RESCUE as back then they were in danger of losing their #1 streak to Yusuke's debut single
I don't listen to AKB48 so I wouldn't know but their inflated sales figures I feel don't do justice . At least Johnnys' sales are more consistent & give a clearer indication on where they stand
I wouldn't be seeing Johnnys' resorting to the same marketing tactics that AKB48 employed simply because unlike AKB48 , Johnnys are idols that all the while don't have that close proximity touch to fans as they want to maintain that whole wholesome perfect flawless image for fans (which by the way it's fake to a certain extent)
