The crazed fan who spent over $100,000 on 5,500 AKB48 CDs seems to have been outdone – no sooner had he been exposed than an earlier report about a similar creature who spent 20 million yen ($250,000) on AKB48, though he only bought CDs in lots of 1,000.
“Kachiyosu-san” is introduced as the manager of a video store who “uses most of his wages on AKB48,” having done so to the tune of 20 million yen.
Once again the fact that 20 million could undoubtedly buy an encounter with one (if not several at the same time) of these girls seems not to have occurred to him.

There's always someone on a higher level.
So what's the level above this guy...or maybe it's better not to know?
Have you ever heard of "don't ask, don't tell"? I think it applies here...
It's seem there's a group of guys a level higher in the next part of the video.
ITS OVER NINE THOUSAND (dollars) well quite a lot.
Insanity thresholds are been to be broken....
Above him, one must be over 9000!
he was in the news a year ago... some otaku prince i think. Dont ask me about the otaku king..
To sum up, AKB48 maybe never really was that popular, since most of the CDs are bought by the same group of people.
As usual, musicians who are actually good always have to sit at the bottom of the charts, even decreasing the exposure they so need.
Yep, that's the rule of real life RPG; Every Boss has another stronger form or another superior being that blow all your effort into nothing.
ps: Good Job, Amazon~ :3
Amazon happy.
or MMORPGs :(
"no sooner had he been exposed than an earlier report about a similar creature who spent 20 million yen"
Lmao. These people are referred to as "creatures".
I agree.
So that's why they play the X-files theme. :3
JUST DO THEM!
i don't know i would say the otaku who got the better deal was the otaku king. over 5x more shit for less than half of the other guys money. if they want to brag about the amount of money spent, i'll sell them a home made cd of bootlegged shit for a million dollars. a sucker is born every minute...
No wonder this gets so much sales with a bunch of idiots buying 5500 CD's at the time...
You'd figure that at least one member of AKB48 will whore themselves out to these idiots as a reward, which is probably what these guys think.
$110,000!!!
$110,000 calling once.
$110,000 calling twice.
$110,000 calling thr-
$250,000!!!!
We'll see who's the next highest bidder for the grand title of 'Richest Retard'.
amen bro amen
really now people spent so much not thinking about stuff they gonna do with it..............maybe jerk off on it?
what was with bolding Rich and ard?
figure it out, it's actually pretty smart.
just saying, non american people probably wont get it
dude you're as retarded as the guyfrom the video y even considering visiting a website like this
lol
then why are you here commenting?
He must have experienced a lapse of retardation
there ae a lot like that
Lol burn.
No wonder they're on the top of oricon, week after week.
tl-note; oricon = a game between the enka loving elderly, idol otaku and crappy autotune bishibands about whoever can buy the most cd's.
i guess you must've been a rock band fan? While idol otaku and bishibands are almost garbage, i don't quite agree with enka...
Enka is like the Beatles/Elvis, except the latter kind of music almost doesn't exist anymore outside of japan.
I find Arashi/SMAP fine too, and while not my taste, they're definitely miles better than stupid pop groups like akb48 or korean boybands who sells their sex appeal than their music
hey the oricon charts aren't always that crap, uverworld gets up there top 5 nearly every realease and don't tell me they are bad, if you don't like thier music you gotta at least respect their talent. and i'm pretty sure dir en grey also gets to the top of the list when they realease a new song even though its rare as.
Oricon = A person with originality complex.
...
Of course, just kidding. :P
"crappy autotune bishibands"
I need to nod in agreement if this include those overcrazed foreign boybands.
i think that would be a very good idea for a manga! have it JUMP style with gang wars! and have it go BAN! and DON! and BOKEEE!
The things I can do with that money O_o
I would be able to make my room bigger T-T (Haruhi's running out of space)
Also I dont think spending on the same item count towards Otaku Hardcoreness.
You're thinking too small A good contractor would only charge 10 to 40K USD to do a simple addition to a home.
With that kind of money I would buy an airplane and a house in the country and have it fully powered by alternative energy.
Wait... How does some video store manager have $250K in wages..ever. Either I need a job there or the store owner better check the books.
See this is why business panders to these people, to capitalize on their wallets.
First I'd like to congratulate you on post OLD content and claiming it was new. Wonderful. Just wonderful.
I'd also like to contend that you couldn't buy an encounter with any of the girls if you tried. They make enough money that they can't be bothered with risking their entire contract for a small sum of cash (in comparison to their salaries) (The most highly paid girls make around 400k/yr).
Besides. He doesn't collect this stuff just because he wants to put it in them. Sure maybe that's part of it but the stuff lasts for a long time. Sex with one of them would last all of 20 minutes.
Well friend, if a top girl gain 400k/yr, I think a mid level one would go for 250k/30min even more so if he make it a secret, plus I agree that the cds will last forever but man, he could have a nice 20 min with the girl ask her to sign one cd for him and have it forever
Hope he saved enough money for a modest sized crypt so when he dies alone and "misunderstood" they can bury him with all this junk.
now this is an example of a truely pathetic life
This guy should be informed he could buy a ticket to Poland, or Argentina, or Ukraine, hire an army or centerfold-type perfect blonde whores for a weeklong orgy of sex and scotch. And even invite some friends. And he'd spend much less than 100k.
And he'd have room in his appartment too.
mmm. gross european women. D:
Why wouldn't they use the money to produce a one of a kind ep suited for their taste by their favorite members? Wouldn't being able to say 'I'm the only one who has this' be better than having thousands of copies that everybody can get anyway?
That's so crazy!!!!
x-files theme win~
NIGGA IS CRAZII. lol, I'd only spend 10,000 on AKB >:/
I don't want these creatures to ever, Ever, EVER complain about housing prices in Japan.
And they are proud of it.
This isn't even the level of Otaku, it's the level of mental retardation.
I don't have enough facepalms to express the amount of WTF I full at this point of time. Can I have a rain check ?
Where does he get the money from? Or is his credit card bill $250,000?
