Reseña del editor

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In Japan, a junior idol, alternatively chidol (chaidoru) or low teen (rŠtīn), is primarily defined as a child or early teenager pursuing a career as a photographic model (this includes both gravure and AV). Child actors, and J-pop singers (whose musical genre is often termed idol pop) can also be considered junior idols, and are often featured in photobooks and image DVDs. The coining of the term chidol, literally child idol" ( chairudo aidoru), is attributed to columnist Akio Nakamori and dates back to the mid-1990s, a period marked by significant increase in the number of child models and works involving individuals in that age range. Eventually, this neologism fell out of use and was replaced by "Junior Idol". There exists not a clear set of guidelines regarding the age at which an individual becomes a junior idol: Yumi Adachi, for instance, started her modeling career at age two and many other idols have starred in image DVDs at the ages of three, four and five."
