CATDOLL: Love Live! character badges are being sold as counterfeits, Japan is cracking down on them

The Love Live! theatrical version has received good box office since its release, and of course all kinds of peripheral products have also sold well. Driven by profit, many people have started to think crookedly. Recently, the Japanese police announced a case of piracy of Love Live! peripheral products. A 44-year-old uncle was arrested by the police for making pirated LL peripheral products.

A joint investigation team composed of the prefectural police in Ibaraki and Kagoshima Prefectures arrested a 44-year-old middle-aged uncle today because he was selling pirated "Love Live!" character badges on a Japanese online shopping mall. The biggest difference between his pirated LL badges and the genuine ones is the material. The pirated ones use plastic materials, while the genuine ones use metal materials. The price of the pirated peripherals is also much cheaper, 4 for only 128 yen, while the genuine peripherals cost 600 yen. As of the time of the incident, this master had already earned 2 million yen in sales by selling 4 pirated LL badges for 128 yuan, which is equivalent to selling 62,500 of these pirated badges. It took only 4 months to achieve this sales of more than 2 million yen, which is more or less a testament to the popularity of LL.
