Free and enthusiastic people (=super lifeforms), including members of such a “human editorial department”, gathered to create web magazines, Instagram, tissue zine-linked magazines (pocket tissues with free papers distributed in towns and shops). ) will be launched on December 1st. In “Hen to Nen”, the Osaka dialect of “-hen” and “-nen”, as well as the meanings of “weird” and “biased”, “burn” and “nen”, are used to express the excessive energy and framework of Osaka.

However, despite the abundance of attractive people and things, there are few media outlets from Osaka, and most of the major media outlets are centered on Tokyo.
Due to the current situation, editors and writers who felt that “there are few places in Osaka where they can work” have moved to Tokyo, and the number of human resources and media that convey the appeal of Osaka has not increased. In order to break this vicious cycle, editors and writers based in Osaka, led by chief editors and deputy chief editors who moved from other prefectures and were fascinated by Osaka, created the media “Hen”, where they can freely convey the appeal of Osaka. and Nen” was launched.

Signboards that pop out, flashy neon lights, nori, tsukkomi, and meddling… A stimulating, assertive city and people. Anyway, there is a lot of information. The city is filled with “burn” and “nen”.
In Osaka, people who are not swept away by the times live freely meandering. The twists and turns of a life that doesn’t fit in a mold, doesn’t fit in a frame, and doesn’t go straight…
You don’t have to do it properly. It’s okay to stay distorted. [Image 12
