Revealing behind-the-scenes documentary about the popular idol group HKT48. Group member-cum-manager Sashihara Rino makes her debut as a film director. Released simultaneously with RAISE YOUR ARMS AND TWIST Documentary of NMB48. HKT48 was formed in 2011 in Hakata, Fukuoka.

Directed by Rino Sashihara, Documentary of HKT48 leans on a strong ensemble — Rino Sashihara, Haruka Kodama, Meru Tashima — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
