"Hello!" was founded in January 1998. 25 years has passed since then, and "Hello!" has been transformed into "Hello! Project," which has produced Morning Musume, Berryz Kobo, ℃-ute, ANGERME, Juice=Juice, and many other idol units, as well as solo artists such as Mano Erina.
This issue is a special edition celebrating Hello! Project's 25th anniversary.
The cover of the magazine is the miraculous return of Suzuki Airi, who graced the cover of "UTB+ magazine Vol. 10," released 10 years ago to commemorate Hello! Project's 15th anniversary, and who has been developing a wide range of activities as a solo artist since ℃-ute's dissolution.
She will be joined by Sato Masaki, who is preparing to make her solo debut, and Miyamoto Karin, who was a talented member of Juice=Juice and has been actively engaged in concerts and releasing solo albums since her graduation.
The first and last ultra-rare, this is a lineup of faces befitting a milestone in the history of Hello Pro.
Next, Morning Musume. '23's Makino Maria, who was on the cover the previous UTB magazine issue that was also very popular, appears for the second issue in a row. Newly photographed separately from the previous issue, the new issue offers a multifaceted look at her charms. This issue also features Makino Maria on the back cover.
In addition, Kitagawa Rio also appears in a solo gravure shoot. For this, we took advantage of the snowy location at her request. Don't miss this one either.
The gravure at the end of the issue is by Sato Masaki for the second issue in a row. The theme continues to be "Sound and Me." She also talks about her solo debut single "Ding Dong / Romantic Nante Gara Janai" which is about to be released, so please look forward to it.
The appendix is a giant double-sided poster. The front is decorated by Suzuki Airi, Sato Masaki, and Miyamoto Karin, and the back by Sato Masaki.
