^ They're popular because they "work hard" (and yet, Morning Musume had the MOST lives in 2013...), and because they deliver a "great performance" (ever heard them singing live? It's ear bleed quality... and their dancing is very energetic, but just that, not high level stuff) MM and C-ute deliver a much better performance, so it's only hype, and the media what made them popular. Same as AKB.
And if cards are played right, the media can help MM tremendously as well. Let's hope that happens
