PopSister Japan Round 2 Hits the Streets

Posted on 19. Aug, 2009 by ricoche.

Comments

As most Gals already know, Popsister has released a follow-up issue to the popular first issue released last month. The October 2009 issue of Popsister hit the magazine stands over the weekend and so far it’s either been very popular OR limited copies were released. This issue was very difficult for me to snag here in my area. Of course it’s summer vacation for many gals so perhaps it is popular, but something tells me that this issue was released in fewer quantities. Will we see a November issue? Not sure, but we’ll see.

It’s amazing we’re already into the October 2009 month’s issue of Happie Nuts. The theme is “black” like with Jelly. The cover is pretty good and the content is actually very good as well. It’s making me look forward to what the other gal magazines like Egg and Ranzuki have in store for October in a couple of weeks. Attached is the cover shot, contents, and back cover.

POPTEEN Japan September 2009 Sunflower

Posted on 01. Aug, 2009 by ricoche.

Comments

POPTEEN Japan has released it’s September 2009 issue. Personally, I really need to see a new face on the cover. As with most Japanese magazines, the cover model always seems to be the same. This wouldn’t be too bad, but often the expression and pose are similar with each issue too. The month’s cover is an extreme closeup which does look nice, but unlike EGG which went with a different model than usual, Popteen stuck with it’s main face. As also with Egg, Popteen elected to have a Yellow based cover which is nice. There are sunflowers bordering the cover and some of the text is in orange to offset the extreme yellow.

There is an INCREDIBLE “Pop Model” Makeup Section inside that is really really good. It’s one of the best I’ve ever seen and Gals will definitely love this month’s issue for that insert alone. Indeed also POP SISTER will be releasing a second issue on 8/17. I’ll be uploading the insert pages after I post this. There is no cover shot as it probably was still in production at the time the Popteen September issue was printing, but nonetheless, it looks like a second attempt with Pop Sister is here. All in all, this is a good issue of Popteen. It’s jam packed with street photos so guys and gals will definitely be able to see what’s happening on the streets of Shibuya 109, Tokyo Japan! Happy Summer Everyone!

EGG Japan September 2009 HOT!

Posted on 01. Aug, 2009 by ricoche.

Comments

Hi everyone! The new EGG Japan September 2009 issue is hot off the press and on newsstands everywhere in Japan. This morning I just picked up the new issue and it’s actually quite good. The cover uses yellow, orange, and sky blue colors which gives it a very summery sort of appeal. The cover model is also a welcome change and overall, I think EGG pulled off a nice fresh look for this end of summer issue. I say end because next month will be the October issue and I’m sure the colors, model, and overall look will be geared towards the new Fall fashion trends and looks. The hair style on the cover reminds me a tiny bit of the Farrah Fawcett look from the 70’s. Hair coloring blends, extensions, and a longer curly lengths seem to be the trend lately similar to the Ageha look. Inside there are a lot of great photos and articles. Egg is still a bit thin compared to the competition, but the covers certainly have that retro Gal look that I like very much. This issue will no doubt be a HOT one in Japan!

AGEHA September 2009 Cover Clutter

Posted on 01. Aug, 2009 by ricoche.

Comments

I say “Cover Clutter” because the AGEHA Japan September 2009 issue proves once again that you have to get as much text jammed onto that front cover as possible. It literally makes me dizzy looking at this month’s cover as the headlines spiral towards the center. The model is good but unfortunately she is small and secondary to the text. There is also a pink Hello Kitty with a heart shaped eye patch in the upper right hand corner. Is it just me or does the cover give a tad feel of S&M or something. The hat gives it a way for me not that I’m an expert on S&M…laugh. With the eye patch, sharp nails, and hat, this cover like last month looks rough and tough with a pinch of princess.

In fact, on closer observation, you can see what looks like hand cuff style hand accessories the model is wearing. We definitely have a princess biker look going on here….or not. It’s up to your imagination I suppose. Inside the models and fashion are gorgeous as usual. The Ageha look and experience is still very popular in Japan right now. Most hair salons I know are very busy with gals wanting to emulate the Ageha look for all sorts of reasons and events. Of all the magazines in Japan, I’d say Ageha is one of the more popular magazines available right now. It’s sexy too I add.

Have a great summer!
