The impact of "Fortune Cookie" being sung at EVERY(!!!!) Graduation ceremony and literally every single person in their dog making a cover video. Even I got forced to do the dance in a damn video.
Yep, pretty much. The high prices and the fact that AKB48 exist at all is what is keeping the Japanese physical music industry thriving as the second biggest market (along with Exile and Arashi too).

Can be anything from $20-70USD depending on the version you buy because most full length albums will come with other editions like CD+DVD or CD+special features and **** like that.
But yeah, AKB outselling my faves' yearly sales in a single day.
Imagine how much money they'd make from these sales if they weren't Japanese acts or if there weren't 48 different members that needed to be paid. They sell all of these records and by time the money is divided each member probably gets like, $30.
