Review of Tokyo Idols (2017) by Denny S — 17 Jan 2018
While I leapt at the chance to see something about Japanese Idol culture on Netflix, I ended up being disappointed. It seems the director wanted to make a point that Idol culture is wrong. It is an unfair portrayal of the Idol world in Japan. It is distressing that the typical American viewer (and reviewer) will leave with too many misconceptions, half-truths and lies by omission.
Some positive aspects of Japan's Idol culture were presented, but the director clearly intended to mislead.
