Snow Man’s Hikaru Iwamoto comes in a pin-up and gravure! A “summer love skin” shot of him with his jacket casually worn over his bare skin!

Snow Man’s Iwamoto Hikaru makes his first solo appearance in this magazine! The charm of Iwamoto Hikaru is the contrast. In the photoshoot, he shows a fearless expression with a jacket on his bare skin, but the moment the scene changes, he shows his playful and comical side. In the interview, he speaks of his passion in straightforward words, but he also doesn’t forget his humor. This solo feature explores the charm of Iwamoto, who looks cool but is friendly. He also takes on the magazine’s popular project, “Love Only! Ultimate 50 Multiple Choice Questions.” When asked about his views on love, he gives a series of unexpected answers!? The double-sided pin-up supplement includes close-up shots so close you can almost feel his body temperature, giving you a “summer love skin” feeling.

Ae! Group’s Masakado Ryoki features a solo “Summer Love Date” with a realistic feel. Masakado, who serves as the official ambassador for “Immersive Museum OSAKA 2024”, has devised a date plan based on the theme of “What if you went on a date to this exhibition?” What is the secret date plan for the day that starts with a meeting?! He also appears in a date outfit of his own devising. In advance, Masakado himself thought about what kind of outfit he would like to wear on this date, and was photographed in that outfit. In addition, he also takes on the magazine’s popular “Love Only! Ultimate 2-choice 50Q” project! We are digging deeper into his views on love.
