It's true though that groups like these have a relatively large otaku fanbase, just like the boybands have a relatively large CRAZED FANGIRL fanbase.

I don't think anyone's suggesting that ALL their sales and success comes from otakus though. Of course they're getting more and more casual fans ; )
