As an Idol, As AKB48 - The Place where Okabe Rin and Kuranoo Narumi Stand (2018)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

The documentary follows Okabe Rin and Kuranoo Narumi, two members of Team 8, as they rise into the competitive battlefield of AKB48's Senbatsu for the first times. It's a great look into what it means to rank in to the Senbatsu through the elections versus being hand picked for a Senbatsu, as well as into these two individual members themselves!

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
