Review of Documentary of AKB48 To Be Continued (2011) by Jason J — 28 May 2011

Being a huge fan of AKB48, I really enjoyed going back and reliving the events that happened in 2010 - the highs and the lows, the smiles and tears as well as seeing the girls outside of their job and trying to have a normal life.

The motto of AKB48 is "idols you can meet" and that's true if you're lucky enough to get a ticket to their shows in their own theater in Akihabara. Hardworking, dedicated, down to earth and giving it their all epitomises what AKB48 is all about.

The group although split into 3 teams which have their own captain is overall led by one amazing and inspirational girl - Takahashi Minami. Takamina is the glue that holds all of the girls together and is a good role model that Japanese girls should look up to and strive to be like her.

Those that have no interest in Japanese idol groups will find this documentary to be a waste of time but those that love AKB48 will certainly find this entertaining as we get to know these girls a little bit more at work and at play.

I'm so proud to be an AKB48 fan and to see them grow in popularity over the past 3 years has been nothing more than what they deserve and long may their success continue.
