Is it so bad?
Someone at my friend's office in Tokyo usually has a cardboard box full of idol cd's every major release and freely gives it away. Usually those who takes one would never would've bought it themselves so I consider it somewhat of a free promo for the groups.

Helped myself a couple of times too just so I don't have to open my own copy

Of course there's the issue of devaluing the brand too much by overexposure but seeing as Morning Musume in particular is nowhere near that mark yet (looks to be trending upwards with still quite a climb ahead) and could always use more word-of-mouth / viral promotions like these, I'll worry about it when the time comes.

Except that the ones in the picture look unopened.

^Ah, you're right. Thanks for pointing that out.
Guess it's just a generous H!P wota. Plenty of anecdotes abound of them giving stuff away for free.

Is it so bad?

I personally don't believe so.

[otaku_blue]

its just a real slap in the face when its such a struggle to buy singles, and to see people throw it away like that frustrates me.

like a month wait after release is what usually happens with me so...

when you order from fortunemusic.jp their tickets do come separately. and seeing as these are all just regular editions i'm sure that's where they came from.
