Documentary Review: Tokyo Idols (2017) by Kyoko Miyake
Sometimes you chase a dream and sometimes you chase an obsession. The dream can be an illusion and the obsession can disappear in the breeze of reality. “Tokyo Idols” portrays the dream of nearly 10000 teenage girls in Japan who consider themselves as “idols” and perform to entertain their fans. The majority of those “fan-base” are formed by middle aged people (mostly between 40 – 50 years) and their obsessions for these teen aged idols. The docu-drama tries to bring out the life and career of these idol girls through a completely different and complex sexual perspective, touching the socio-economic life in Japan in an introspective manner.
