The "idol culture", which is mainly carried by women's groups and pop music, is now permeating all aspects of Japanese society. Tokyo Idol goes deep into the core of this cultural phenomenon in the form of a documentary to explore the impact of idol culture on society. The film shows her road to fame through a real "Tokyo Idol". Her "brothers" are a group of middle-aged men who follow girl idols as their lifelong career on the Internet and in real life. They gave up their jobs and were once regarded as marginal figures in society, but they devoted themselves to idol culture. With the expansion and development of idol culture, they have now become the mainstream of the online world. The film's director, Seiko Miyake, reveals the role of gender power in Japan's pop music industry through the provocative attire of a girl idol.
