Background and Talking Points
S Cawaii! is a fashion magazine aimed at teenage girls, and special editions featuring Hello! Project groups on the cover have repeatedly made waves before. Juice=Juice currently has a large lineup, so “who gets center” and “who ends up in the back row” of the magazine spread tends to be a major focus for fans. In this thread, the theory that placing Ariyasu Ichika at center made it easier to balance height differences and sub-unit groupings won a lot of support, while fans backing members pushed to the back row, like Ishiyama and Irie, voiced dissatisfaction with the placement. It’s worth noting these takes aren’t based on any stated intent from the shoot’s staff — they’re purely fan speculation.
