Yesterday Dannychoo reported how pop idol group AKB48 are getting a bad name due to their management company’s business strategy on getting fans to collect 44 unique posters to attend a special event.

Now today, with I was surfing their site, it seems that they have officially announced that they are cancelling this unpopular business strategy because it may be an infringement on the law.

In addition, crazy fans who have bought like 500 copies of the AKB48′s single can get a refund if the CDs are unopened.
