The story

Miu Kawashima, a member of Hello! Project group Juice=Juice, is set to appear solo in the October 14 issue of fashion magazine anan, sparking a buzz on the 5ch message boards. Thread posters weighed in with takes like “she’s entered the next phase — breaking through as an individual now,” while others brought up past examples of Hello! Project members landing spots in anan, eventually spiraling into a debate over whether the magazine can even still be called a fashion magazine.

Juice picking up outside work (gigs outside her idol-unit duties)
4AnonymousOct 13, 2026 17:18
She's getting too popular for her own good
6AnonymousOct 13, 2026 17:20
Makes sense — she's got a senior label-mate who used to model for anan
7AnonymousOct 13, 2026 17:20
She's basically a top-tier model at this point, isn't she
9AnonymousOct 13, 2026 17:20
Well would you look at that!
10AnonymousOct 13, 2026 17:20
We're past the "is Juice=Juice popular" stage now —
she's entered the next phase of breaking through as an individual
14AnonymousOct 13, 2026 17:21
But you lot still aren't actually gonna buy it, are you?
15AnonymousOct 13, 2026 17:23
Re: #14
Juice=Juice fans (ヲタ, "otaku") actually buy the stuff, that's exactly why the gigs keep coming
16AnonymousOct 13, 2026 17:23
Then again, anan has that "Satoyoshi pattern" thing (where you only get quoted, no actual photo), so we won't know until we see it
20AnonymousOct 13, 2026 17:24
SHE'S BLOWING UUUUUUUP!!!
21AnonymousOct 13, 2026 17:24
It's probably just one uncredited page slipped in quietly
22AnonymousOct 13, 2026 17:24
There's no stopping her
30AnonymousOct 13, 2026 17:29
Did old-school Morning Musume also get a lot of this kind of outside work?
34AnonymousOct 13, 2026 17:30
The original members showed up in it too, right?
35AnonymousOct 13, 2026 17:31
Even outside of "back in the day," anan features Hello! Project quite a bit
39AnonymousOct 13, 2026 17:32
Wait, is this issue No. 2515? I don't see Miu's name anywhere on the cover
40AnonymousOct 13, 2026 17:33
Seriously?! I'm buying it
44AnonymousOct 13, 2026 17:35
Mayamaya Hayashi used to be a top model for anan back in the day
45AnonymousOct 13, 2026 17:35
Kitahara from Ocha Norma seems pretty impressive too
52AnonymousOct 13, 2026 17:39
I can totally picture Mifuu going "an-an~" (a cheeky pun on the magazine's name)
59AnonymousOct 13, 2026 17:42

Is it this one?
61AnonymousOct 13, 2026 17:44
Kisaki Ebata was featured back in February this year too, and the original members have appeared before as well — there's definitely an otaku working inside anan's editorial team
62AnonymousOct 13, 2026 17:46
anan isn't really a fashion magazine though, is it?
63AnonymousOct 13, 2026 17:46
Hello! Project shows up now and then
Aikawa and others have been in it too
64AnonymousOct 13, 2026 17:47
I thought it wasn't a fashion magazine anymore — guess it used to be different back in the day? Not totally sure
68AnonymousOct 13, 2026 17:48
Full-group anan feature (April 2021 / issue No. 2248, etc.): under the theme "Our Slim-Down Workout Life," the spread covered each member's beauty-body secrets and stretching routines (Tomoko Kanazawa, Akari Uemura, Manaka Inaba, Rion Inoue, Ruru Danbara, Yume Kudo, Ria Matsunaga)
75AnonymousOct 13, 2026 17:52

Get Angerme into a fashion magazine too, please!
83AnonymousOct 13, 2026 17:55
Mippuru's Instagram followers are already at 98k. She's going to blow past 100k in no time.
85AnonymousOct 13, 2026 17:55
Didn't Kamiko show up in one too, or something?
86AnonymousOct 13, 2026 17:55
Takao's grinning ear to ear too
90AnonymousOct 13, 2026 17:57
Mippuru! Mippuru!

Background and Key Points of the Discussion

anan (published by Magazine House) is a women’s weekly magazine that launched in 1970. In its early days it focused mainly on introducing overseas fashion, but over the years it has broadened its coverage to include beauty, lifestyle, and more. As pointed out in the thread, Hello! Project members have appeared in the magazine repeatedly over the years, with individual features piling up alongside full-group spreads. In this thread, some framed Miu Kawashima’s solo feature as “the next phase of breaking through as an individual,” while others noted that details like whether she’s credited or which issue number it is haven’t been confirmed — leaving opinions split until people actually see the printed pages for themselves.
