『Quick Japan Monologue』#1 [Feature: RUI (STARGLOW)]

Since its founding in 1994, 『Quick Japan』 has documented the passion of each era through diverse cultures—including music, film, comedy, and idols—and the words of those who shape them. Now, over 30 years after its founding, we are launching 『Quick Japan Monologue』, a new label aimed at teenagers, while carrying on that same spirit.

Featured on the cover and in the opening feature of 『Quick Japan Monologue』#01 is RUI of the five-member dance and vocal group STARGLOW. Over approximately 40 pages, we document the journey and current path of the 19-year-old who is helping to shape the next era.

The issue is scheduled to feature a long interview exceeding 10,000 characters. It traces RUI's childhood, first encounter with music, participation in THE FIRST, days as a BMSG TRAINEE, the formation and debut of STARGLOW, and their life today at age 19. The journey is explored in a "monologue" format, composed entirely of the subject's own words without the interviewer's questions, creating a single narrative.

The QJ Store will offer a limited-edition set that includes a mini card of RUI (STARGLOW) photographed exclusively for this feature.

『Quick Japan』vol.181 [Feature: STARGLOW]

『Quick Japan』vol.181, on sale Wednesday, December 10, 2025, features STARGLOW, which was born from BMSG, the management and label company headed by SKY-HI.

Formed on September 19 by RUI, TAIKI, KANON, GOICHI, and ADAM, who were selected through the audition project THE LAST PIECE, this five-member group made their pre-debut with "Moonchaser" on September 22.

We conducted a long interview totaling approximately 40,000 characters, delving into their journey so far, their feelings at the current moment when their debut has been decided, and the "biggest dream in the world" they hope to achieve.

For the photo spread, themed "The Birth of New Stars," we photographed the group, units, and solo members in multiple fantastical settings. We bring you a large volume of photos by photographer Tim Gallo, who explores the world of chiaroscuro—light and shadow.

As a QJ Store exclusive bonus, a limited-edition set featuring a mini card with a group photo of STARGLOW taken exclusively for this feature will be available.
