[Jitsugyo no Nihon Sha Co., Ltd.] The long-established motorcycle magazine “RIDERS CLUB” has begun a renewal. World Grand Prix champion Tetsuya Harada has been appointed as the new editor-in-chief. ​ Jitsugyo no Nihon Sha Co., Ltd. Press Release: October 20, 2025 The long-established motorcycle magazine “RIDERS CLUB” has begun a renewal. World Grand Prix champion Tetsuya Harada has been appointed as the new editor-in-chief. We want to share the appeal of motorcycles with as many people as possible. With that desire in mind, motorcycle magazine RIDERS CLUB (published by Jitsugyo no Nihon Sha Co., Ltd.) will begin a magazine redesign starting with the December 2025 issue (on sale October 27th). At the same time, World Grand Prix Champion Tetsuya Harada will be appointed
editor-in-chief, leading the creation of a new magazine. ○Bring the appeal of motorcycles to more people “Increase social awareness of motorcycles.” This is the goal of the new RIDERS CLUB. As a
long-established motorcycle magazine founded in 1978, we have earned the trust of motorcycle enthusiasts over the years. Our latest renewal will build on that trust and focus on “raising the social status of motorcycles.” We will begin by reviewing our special feature plans in order to make motorcycles more accepted not only by motorcycle enthusiasts but by society as a whole. ○We want you to enjoy riding for longer and more safely The new RIDERS CLUB views motorcycles as a hobby for mature adults, and strives to provide information to help adults enjoy riding for longer and more safely. To enjoy motorcycles properly, the rider’s mental preparation and self-control are important. At our magazine, we place more importance on returning home safely than on riding fast. We are strongly aware of our social responsibility as a media outlet, and we are exploring what a new motorcycle specialty magazine should be. ○ Fully convey the depth of motorcycles Motorcycles are vehicles with a simple structure, but that is precisely why they have a depth that resonates with people’s sensibilities. Another interesting aspect of motorcycles is that they encompass a wide range of aspects, including riding, touring, customization, mobility, industrial, community, and motorsports. The new RIDERS CLUB will handle a wide range of motorcycle information without discrimination and create projects with a unique perspective. We aim to “create a magazine like no other.” Points of renewal

[New logo and cover design] [New logo and cover design] In conjunction with the magazine’s page renewal, we’ve revamped the logo and cover, which represent the magazine’s identity. The theme is “learning from the past.” While paying homage to our magazine’s covers from the 1980s, when print media had momentum and brand power, we’ve arranged them for a modern version. The logo and cover express the
sophisticated nature of our magazine.
