Tokyo IdolsKyoko Miyake
Every country has its local heroes and super fans, but in Japan they take it – as usual – one step further. “Idols” are young teenage girls who rarely sing or play an instrument, but have become immensely popular because of their "cute and innocent" appearance. And their super fans? They devote their lives completely to their favourite idol.
