Hikari Mitsushima appears on the cover of the September issue of "GINZA"! Also features a fashion shoot with &TEAM's K and JO

■Behind the scenes stories of K&JO (&TEAM) are also revealed!

The September issue of monthly women’s fashion and culture magazine GINZA will be released on August 9th.

Hikari Mitsushima appears on the cover wearing new autumn/winter collections.

The serial project “Masakasakasama,” in which Naoki Matayoshi adds a short story to a palindrome written by Mitsushima, has finally been released as a book, “A Light and Norinori Dolphin.” In the magazine, you can enjoy a conversation between Mitsushima and Matayoshi.

Mitsushima:We only sent each other the finished works, and hardly exchanged any feedback. Every time, the stories I received from Matayoshi-san were so profound that they sent chills down my spine.

■&TEAM K&JO demonstrate high professionalism
It also features a six-page fashion shoot featuring K and JO from the popular global group &TEAM.

K and JO appeared wearing the latest looks from four luxury brands. Despite having a tight schedule filled with interviews that day, the two showed no signs of fatigue and exuded a high level of professionalism that made it hard to believe they had only been in the industry for less than two years.

K is incredibly fast at sensing the situation and making decisions based on the conversations and behavior of the staff checking the monitor. For example, he quickly sensed the staff’s thoughts that “it would be better if the socks were a little more visible” and adjusted the visibility himself. In the dialogue-style interview with JO, there were many times when he felt that “he was speaking in a way that was easier to write about.”

Jo also looked at K with admiration, and showed off a series of flawless, cool poses. When asked about the secret to her beautiful posture, she said that as her fashion work increased, she “consciously corrected her hunched back.” Let’s enjoy the collaboration of “beauty” born from talent and hard work.
