I think I'm missing something bc sure they dropped quite a lot on Spotify, but a big fanbase is shown mostly in physical sales and concerts and all NJ albums surpassed 1M sales and they'll still start touring, doing fanmeeting, but didn't they sell out Tokyo dome??
Overall their stats are pretty much the same as the others top ggs that you guys say have a big fandom so I'm lost in the logic here.
Did they lose a lot of casual fans? Yes, but fandom wise they seem good and unless something terrible happens like a disbandment or long hiatus their fandom will just grow more. Their current situation isn't easy, but they are doing as good as the others so if the others are doing good so they are.
Just making this thread bc I'm baffled at the "small fandom" being used when talking about them when this isn't the case imo.
