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 AKB that I used to know, that fought to the end, that shined with limitless light – I wanted to see it once again.” “The group we must defeat now isn’t AKB, but Nogizaka!” “This is clearly just a fantasy… but hopefully everyone will come to recognize us again.”
Rather than following a narrative or covering large events, this documentary goes through the entire English alphabet with a different aspect of AKB48 being covered for each letter (eg. S for Shake Hands).
