Documentary of AKB48: AKB48+1+10

Eiki Takahashi

We’re back for round two! Much like “AKB48+1”, this documentary goes through the English alphabet talking about a different aspect of the group for each letter. While still featuring tons of behind the scenes footage, it focuses more on member relations and the events of the past year (2012). Again, this documentary is a brilliant look into the diversity of the AKB48 experience. There’s so much about this group to learn, and the two bonus “AKB48+1” and “AKB48+1+10” documentaries provide a detailed look in a fun way.

The Troubled Times of AKB48

Eiki Takahashi

The holy grail of TV AKB documentaries. Today, AKB48 is a cultural phenomenon and is known to almost every Japanese person in one way or another. They’ve held concerts in Japan’s largest domes, won the most prestigious music awards, and have broken many records in their time with a truly dedicated fanbase. However, reaching such heights was filled with much more struggle than one would expect. This 2-hour documentary shows the story of AKB48 from their turbulent foundations in 2005 to their truly miraculous rise to fame.
