[With 5 photo cards] GIRLS CONTINUE Vol.15 (Cover feature: Monaca)

Monaki: Cover & 30-Page Feature
Beautiful Gravure & Many Projects Exploring the Members' True Selves!

■ Detailed Content

『GIRLS CONTINUE』Vol.15 will feature "Monaki," a four-member male group currently dominating the music scene and SNS, on its cover and lead pages. In conjunction with the release of 『Honmayade☆Nandeyanen☆Shirankedo Chase Edition』 on Wednesday, July 29, 2026, we will conduct an exclusive photoshoot, a long roundtable discussion, handwritten profiles, a member voting project, and more to explore the true selves and current standing of the four members.

A gravure feature highlighting their innate beauty by shedding their jackets, handwritten profiles, and the "M(onaki)-1 Grand Prix" where their true selves are revealed through member voting – a packed issue!

The feature will combine playful, unique projects with in-depth exploration, offering a massive volume that encapsulates Monaki's charm from all angles.

The exclusive gravure photoshoot was conducted with the concept of "mythical beauty" to bring out Monaki's "beauty" to the fullest. By shedding their color-coded jackets and stripping away their iconic image, the innate beauty of the four members is highlighted. Their powerful gaze looking forward and their bare feet firmly stepping forward capture Monaki's current power and momentum with a beauty reminiscent of mythological paintings.

Additionally, in the long roundtable discussion, the four members will discuss everything from the charms of the members rediscovered after the campaign to future challenges, and even the latest information regarding the new version to be released on July 29. They will share niche, behind-the-scenes stories filled with the members' personalities that can only be heard here, as well as their journey so far and their future aspirations, all from a unique perspective.

The pages will also be adorned with a variety of rich projects! In addition to profile sheets handwritten by the members themselves (with messages to members and Monaka-ma♡), we will hold the "M(onaki)-1 Grand Prix" (tentative), a member survey project. Members will select their "M-1" in 7 categories, such as "Which member would you like to switch places with for a day?" Along with their true selves behind the scenes and valuable anecdotes, we will delve into the exquisite distance and bond between the members. This project will also feature plenty of exclusive photos.

A two-fold poster from the exclusive photoshoot will also be included as a bound-in supplement.

Furthermore, this QJ store will offer a limited edition set with 5 exclusive photo cards (4 solo cards, 1 group card).

■ "Monaki" Profile

A four-member male group produced by Kazuyoshi Sakai, leader of the popular mood song group "Junretsu." They made their major debut on April 8, 2026. Even before their debut, they had an explosive influence on SNS, especially TikTok, and dance videos by users flooded in even before the official audio distribution of their debut song "Honmayade☆Nandeyanen☆Shirankedo." The total number of SNS views has exceeded an astonishing 800 million. This enthusiasm was also reflected in the numbers, with their debut single debuting at #3 on the Oricon Weekly Singles Chart (and #1 on the Enka/Kayokyoku Chart). They are currently the most talked-about group, rapidly gaining attention from all quarters.
