Aki-P is only doing the AKB48 parts (e.g. the theater and music and anything else under the AKS header like AKBINGO)
PB's, drama's etc are mostly done by the girls own agency, so they have nothing to do directly with the 'music' part, although good exposieur in AKB48 will increase the price.
Aside from that: PB's of this style are very common in Japan.
I just pass the 'younglings' by regarding PB's/Calendars, except for when they are in the theater/concert/AKBINGO.
Anything below 16 (also called U15) is: ignore; 16 and up is getting attention, 18 and up is interesting.
Simple rule: let them do in Japan what they allow there, do in your country what you are allowed.
(and do on this board what is allowed by the boards rules
