I don't regret watching this as it was fairly entertaining. The premise itself doesn't really work in the end because the main guy doesn't become famous and that makes it all a bit pointless. They try to save it with a final voiceover and some platitudes on the nature of fame but it misses the mark there slightly.

Quite entertaining
Entertaining and honest docu
I did not expect this. This was a very entertaining and honest docu about a guy, Dave, trying everything on his way to get famous. On his way he befriends with Bob the beast, Ladybeard and Kylie, an Idol. This depiction of the pursuit of fame from different characters is very interesting. All are struggling in life and it takes a lot of sacrifice to achieve their dreams.
Eye opening look into the Japanese Foreign - Idol Culture
Fantastic insider's and outsider's experience of the Big In Japan phenomenon as a Foreign Idol. What makes this documentary is that you get to travel with one of the documentary making team members, Dave, throughout the 2-3 years he puts himself into this social experiment. It's real, it's raw and its really funny! There are also really touching moments in the piece as well that only a great documentary maker can capture.
