Kazuya Kamenashi (KAT-TUN) and Ryusei Onishi (Naniwa Danshi) appear on the special edition cover of the February issue of beauty magazine “MAQUIA” (released on December 20th).

The two will appear on the first two-shot cover of “MAQUIA” as “the best beauty faces of the year.” The special feature that can only be seen in the special edition is also a must-see.

Kazuya Kamenashi’s long-running series “Kame Camera” in “MAQUIA” has been well-received, and his project “Inside 23” has recently become a hot topic, and we can’t take our eyes off Kazuya Kamenashi’s success. On the other hand, Ryusei Onishi is rapidly gaining attention due to her activities as a member of Naniwa Danshi and her beauty sensibilities. In 2024, Makia has chosen these two as its “Face of the Year.”

Onishi said, “I was really surprised because it was the first time I received an award (“Face of the Year” from “MAQUIA”), and it’s a miracle to be next to Kamenashi-kun.” Onishi said, “I’ve been getting more compliments on my skin than before. “Maybe it’s because of MAQUIA, who always generously provides me with the latest information (lol),” said Kamenashi (from an interview published in the February issue of MAQUIA).

This time, in order to capture the overwhelming beauty of these two people who love beauty, we chose a certain studio in Tokyo as the shooting location, which is equipped with precious antique furniture. Kamenashi and Onishi’s special co-starring performance, which shines even more sparklingly in a luxurious worldview, is a truly “special” project that can only be seen in the special edition of “MAQUIA”.

In the special feature, in addition to showing off “linked makeup” centered on matching makeup items, Kamenashi’s “best skin care” and Onishi’s “spring makeup plan” are also introduced. This time, we also feature interviews with two people who are seniors and juniors. The two, who rarely work together, quickly developed a friendly atmosphere through “beauty”. We talked a lot about everything from hair and makeup on stage to everyday beauty.

■Excerpt from a conversation between Kazuya Kamenashi and Ryusei Onishi published in the February issue of “MAQUIA”
Onishi ：I want my friends to enjoy beauty and I want to go shopping for cosmetics with them, so I try to share it with them. I enjoy sharing things that I think are good.
Kamenashi : That may certainly be the case. The other day, I explained to a friend a “non-rubbing beauty method.”

Although they are from different generations, the sight of these two talking about beauty is exactly the kind of “power of beauty” that Maquia wants to convey to her readers. Please pay attention to the 12-page special feature.
