Tokyo Idols (2017) -
"On all essential problems (I mean thereby those that run the risk of leading to death or those that intensify the passion of living) there are probably but two methods of thought: the method of La Palisse and the method of Don Quixote" - albert camus
did japan embraced both to whole new level? This documenter show from the later perspective
Eventhou' it provide very good insight of the world idols, especially underground scene. one worth to appreciate for. But these quiet confirmatory bias actually provide by the filmaker, one western sjw and feminazi would say either "disgusting" or "creepy" . While i wont totally disagree with those, contemporary Idol culture in general indeed one of reflection of japan society's problems, said it in plural, whether in realities it affect in negative or positive outcome
So while it seems borderline hebephilia(let alone pedo never adress corectly) it never that simple accusation. Those middle age while living in fantasy has their own struglle and anxiety, it varies. there were also ladies and male youngster among audiences concert, for example, why dont give the mic to them. There is much bias for just juxtaposed perspective.
Also what lack is the perspectives of ex suicidal, depressed, real life outcast turn idols that actually,the underground and DIY scene should have lot of those poor souls. Probably i demanding too much tho'
I would like if there next topic in the future, deeper into exploitation in AV bussiness, call girl, hostesses, or even dark teritory like women traficking, further empashized the real mundane and frustate patriarch society been fodder by exploited the counterpart
