The Wider Image: Japan's masked pop idols
Fans swing light-sticks as Japanese idol group Kamen Joshi (Masked Girls) perform during a concert at their theatre in Tokyo's Akihabara district, Japan March 13, 2016. For countless girl and pop-idol bands in Japan, standing out from the crowd can be daunting, but one group - "Kamen Joshi" - seems to have found the answer by hiding behind masks. The Tokyo-based all female band has 18 members, split into three groups that perform across Japan and elsewhere in Asia. REUTERS/Toru Hanai SEARCH "KAMEN JOSHI" FOR THIS STORY.
