Makino Maria will celebrate her 22nd birthday on February 2nd. This year, as an adult woman and as Morning Musume, the 20 pages at the beginning of the magazine are a must-see, with the theme of a new journey, expressing a brand new heart, all in white. The newly photographed swimsuit is also a highlight.
The next 10 pages feature a gathering of the Morning Musume 9th, 10th, and 11th gen sisters, led by leader Fukumura Mizuki, who recently announced her graduation from the group, Ishida Ayumi, and Oda Sakura. The gravure, an unexpectedly rare combination, is based on a story in which the three sisters open a café with a view of the sea.
In addition, Sakurai Rio, a 16th gen member, has already made her third solo appearance. Relaxing in her room on a cold winter day, wearing a red one-piece dress with a slightly grown-up look, and going to school in a sailor uniform. This is a fresh photo gravure of her as a Morning Musume member who has just finished her first tour. This 10-page volume is also very satisfying.
And...... this issue doesn't stop there!
Sato Masaki, who graduated from Morning Musume the year before last, makes her first appearance on the cover and in gravure after graduating from Morning Musume! The theme of the issue is "Sound and I." More than a year has passed since she became a solo artist. How is she facing music after more than a year as a solo artist? Please look forward to the contents that only this magazine, which has been following Maa-chan, can provide!
the bonus appendix is a double-sided oversized poster of Morning Musume. '23. The front is by Makino Maria, and the back is by Fukumura, Ishida, and Oda.
