[INI Feature] Quick Japan vol. 168 (released October 2023)

【80-page Special Feature】
INI: 11 Personalities and the Tolerance the Era Demands

Starting with this issue, "Quick Japan" has been revamped with a new theme, "Dive to Passion," and a complete renewal of its pages. The cover and main feature of the new issue showcase global boy group INI, who released their 5th single "TAG ME" on October 11, 2023.

We conducted interviews and photoshoots delving into the "individuality and tolerance" of the 11 members, each with their own diverse personalities, who accept one another and strive for greater heights hand in hand. The cover was also shot in a relaxed, natural atmosphere.

80 pages exploring the "individuality" and "originality" of the 11 members

The magazine features solo interviews with all 11 members, totaling over 40,000 characters.

The interviews focus on topics such as "the origin of their individuality," "their originality discovered after becoming INI," "the individuality they respect in other members," and "the individuality of INI as a group," revealing their diverse backgrounds and passion for their activities.

The comprehensive 80-plus page content includes a timeline of their 2.5 years of activities, "INI quizzes" created by the members, a selection of their best YouTube program "INI Folder" episodes, and an interview with KEN THE 390, who has watched the 11 members since their audition.

Interviews with JO1's Yonashiro, Ohira, and Kinjo, REIKO, and BALLISTIK BOYZ also included

The second special feature includes Shō Yonashiro, Shōsei Ohira, and Sukai Kinjo of JO1 from the movie "OUT," which will be released nationwide on Friday, November 17, with solo long interviews and a three-person discussion.

Additionally, the issue features interviews with the highly anticipated debut artist REIKO, Asia-focused group BALLISTIK BOYZ, and new serialized novels by Awo Omae and Yūsuke Norishiro.
