The massively popular new generation girl group "FRUITS ZIPPER" makes an appearance. A total of 20,000 characters of interviews & a 50-page special feature!

Thinking with FRUITS ZIPPER: "What exactly is 'kawaii'?"


This year, FRUITS ZIPPER won an award at the Japan Record Awards for the second consecutive year, following their Best New Artist award last year. With their charm, including a tough and competitive side that works hard and doesn't give up, they have attracted many fans and are currently experiencing a massive boom. FRUITS ZIPPER is featured on the cover and in the main special feature.

In a time when K-Pop is mainstream, FRUITS ZIPPER is blowing a new wind into the current idol scene with their concept of "NEW KAWAII."
The word "kawaii" is now used as a common language worldwide, but what exactly does "kawaii" mean to them?

This 50-page special feature explores their individual idol careers and delves into the meaning of "kawaii" for them as they live fully in the present moment, considering what lies beyond.


■New photoshoot by girl photographer Erika Iida

The cover and main gravure spread are handled by girl photographer Erika Iida, who creates works centered on portraits of girls that "can only be captured now."
She captures moments where the transience and sacredness of FRUITS ZIPPER members' "cuteness" permeate, using creative locations and styling inspired by the theme of this feature.

 

■Special solo interviews totaling over 20,000 characters

The issue also includes solo interviews with FRUITS ZIPPER members, totaling over 20,000 characters. We directly ask them what "kawaii" means to them and explore it together.
There's also a special project that traces back "memories of the word 'kawaii'" within each member.

 

■Includes tour final day report and an interview with Misa Kimura!

Also included are a report on the final performance (December 16) of the FRUITS ZIPPER Japan Tour 2024 - AUTUMN -, which covers 13 shows in 12 cities nationwide, and an interview with producer Misa Kimura (formerly of Musubizm).
We unravel the true nature of "kawaii" that FRUITS ZIPPER aims for, from all angles.
