Snow Man Raul appears on the cover of the special edition of "ViVi"! Raul's dazzling world is expressed in three outfits

■There are also interviews that delve deep into Raul across five chapters, including “Adult Raul” and “Raul, the facial genius”!

Raul (Snow Man) will appear on the special edition cover of the September issue of “ViVi” (on sale July 23rd).

Raul is a top idol, a model who walks the runway at Paris Fashion Week, and a leading actor in a movie; he is truly a “superstar” who spans the world. He has graced the cover of “ViVi” as a member of Snow Man at various milestones in the past, but this time, to commemorate the release of his starring movie “Akabane Kotsuko’s Bodyguard”, he has his first solo cover, an 8-page cover story, and a double-sided pinup in the special edition of “ViVi”.

This time, the theme was “Love, emotion, dreams, and excitement…! Raul the Fantasista,” and the shoot featured three outfits that allowed viewers to fully enjoy the dazzling world of Raul. Among the outfits was a fashionable skirt style, which Raul not only pulled off effortlessly, but also looked very good on him. He showed off his amazing potential.

On the day of the shoot, the staff cheered every time the shutter was released, and the shoot was completed much earlier than scheduled, so the photos were perfect from the first shot. Raul’s star quality and sense are truly impressive. The visuals are extremely edgy and sexy, which is something you would expect from “ViVi”.

The interview delves into Raul in five chapters: “Adult Raul,” which explores his current situation as a 21-year-old who exudes adult sexiness and composure; “Idol Raul,” where we get a glimpse of his side as the youngest member of Snow Man; “Model Raul,” where he shares his precious experiences in Paris; “Facial Genius Raul,” where we enjoy a casual Q&A while admiring his beautiful face; and “Actor Raul,” where he talks extensively about his starring role. Raul responded to the long interview with enthusiasm and enthusiasm throughout. His positive energy and “yang” aura gave the impression of Raul’s current fulfillment and momentum.

In addition, AmBitious, an idol group from Kansai, will be making their first appearance in ViVi.

AmBitious is a group with a sense of unity in their dancing and a unique personality that shines even on variety shows. The youngest member, Kazuki Yamanaka, joined the group in May and they have just completed their nationwide Zepp tour, and now their momentum is unstoppable. ViVi has come up to catch up with them. With the theme of “Sparkling AmBitious!!”, the page is full of summery, sparkling visuals and lively energy.

The hidden theme of the day’s shoot was “a slightly different look than usual.” On the day, the members consulted with the staff and tried on new hairstyles and tried on outfits they had never worn before. They praised each other, saying “It’s cool!” and “It’s so fresh!” as they happily shot the photos. In addition to group photos, solo and three-person unit photos were also taken.

On the page unravelling each member’s profile, in addition to their strong self-promotion that highlights their individuality, they also announced their favorite members within AmBitious recently. Their comments, overflowing with respect for each other, are heartwarming. In addition, the members improvised a team name for the three-person unit filmed that day. The entire exchange leading up to the name being decided is also published in its entirety.

At the lunchtime roundtable discussion after the shoot, the members were told by the staff that it was okay to eat their lunch, but they all participated in the interview with all their might without touching their lunch until the interview was over. Look forward to the talk full of the uniquely Kansai humor and comebacks that they inherited from their predecessors.
