I used this book a lot as reference for my undergraduate thesis and it proved very useful in exploring the psychology and marketing behind successful idol performances in Japan. However the book mentions little about male idols so in that respect I found it lacking but otherwise a very good book on a lesser-known and studied aspect of Japanese pop culture.
