Appeared in “BOYFRIEND”. The story includes film photographs, showing the natural face of a 25-year-old.
Running along the river, riding a skateboard, and munching on ice cream in the hot sun. Mr. Kamio, who is known for his handsome looks, showed off a slightly mischievous, boy-like figure during his session with the photographer that day.
When the photographer asked him to run a little while looking back, Mr. Kamio showed off a refreshing smile while facing the camera at a perfect angle. When he picked up a skateboard that was kept in the studio, he said, “I wonder if I can do it?” but despite the staff’s concerns, he sped up and did it beautifully, showing off his high sense as a subject in various scenes. The photo was taken.
There is also a fulfilling interview in which he talks about his current situation, saying, “I can now be natural without thinking about unnecessary things.” We approach Mr. Kamio from a variety of angles, from his perspective on work that changed after a certain work to his private talk and Q&A.

Stanmi Japan, who mainly distributes videos on the video distribution platform “Twitch”, is here!
Stanmi will be the first streamer to appear on “with”. What is most appealing about Stanmi is the light-hearted talk he delivers on stream. Recently, VRChat distribution has become a hot topic, and the video posted on YouTube has been ranked number one in the rapidly rising rankings, and has been viewed 4.55 million times in about a month (as of August 27th).
This special feature is 6 pages filled with a side that is different from the usual distribution.

All of our staff members are in love with his outstanding style and richness of expression. (Actually, she said she had been preparing for this shoot and tightened her body!) For the outdoor shoot, which took place under the strong midsummer sun, she said things like, “Maybe I should tie my hair up a bit,” and “Put the jacket on my waist.” Why don’t you try wrapping it?” Mr. Stanmi himself suggested, creating a completely different atmosphere from the studio shoot.
In the interview, he talked in detail about things that are not often talked about in regular broadcasts, such as stories from his childhood, why he became a streamer, and the “next stage” he is embarking on.

* Dig deeper into the two “Daishun” who are the hot topic on Netflix “Boyfriend” faster than anywhere else! *
(C)Kodansha
“Boyfriend” became a hot topic not only in Japan but all over the world as soon as it was released on Netflix. It has received high acclaim as a work that moves the hearts of those who watch it and makes them reconsider diverse values.
The two members of “Boyfriend” that have attracted a lot of attention are “Daishun”, who were photographed and interviewed this time! Actually, it seems that this day was my first magazine shoot, and at first I was worried about being unfamiliar with shooting. However, the moment the camera is pointed at them, it’s as if some kind of switch has been turned on, and they show off one wonderful expression after another! Needless to say, all the staff members watching this were overwhelmed.
It was a moment that gave me a glimpse of something important.
In addition, for this shoot, we specially prepared limited white trunks from the brand “NKNIT”, which has been a hot topic in collaboration with this program. In a clean white world, the photos of two people wearing white trunks that give a deep sense of their close relationship are all must-see photos! Of course, in the interview, we delve into the details of what happened during the recording of “Boyfriend”, how they feel now that it has become a big topic and is attracting attention after its release, and their feelings for each other.
Furthermore, in order to gain a deeper understanding of “Boyfriend,” we asked Taiki, who is also one of the producers, why this work has fascinated people so much. Thorough coverage of what we thought about casting! As a result, the interview has become a huge project with a total of 8000 characters, making it very readable.
This is a must-see not only for fans of “Daishun” but also for all “Boyfriend” fans, so please take a look.

The atmosphere on the set was energetic because the average age of the participants was 17 years old. It was impressive to see everyone posing so beautifully as if they were dancing.

This is LIL
LEAGUE! We bring you a charming cut.
There is also a pair shot of the “older group” and “younger group”. Although they were embarrassed by the distance between them and the members, they showed off their cool and mature expressions. Please also pay attention to the gap with the collective cut.
In the interview, he talked about his 3rd single “Youth” released on July 31st. We talked a lot about the thoughts and behind-the-scenes stories behind the production of “Spark”, the current status and future of the group as they approach their second anniversary since their debut, and more. The six of them had a great time in the roundtable discussion, but when asked about the future of the group, they got serious. It was also an interview that conveyed his serious thoughts about his future activities. “BOYFRIEND” members directly introduce each other’s boyfriend power during a pair photo shoot.
