EGG Japan August 2009 Released

[ricoche]

The new August 2009 issue of EGG Magazine will be in stores tomorrow morning. I'll be picking it up along with Popteen and Ageha which should also be out tomorrow as well. Attached is an early shot of the EGG cover. I haven't seen Popteen or Ageha yet. The Egg cover looks cool I think.

In any event, tomorrow I'll have better photos up and if I have time will have it in the gallery. I still have to finish up the Ranzuki August Special which I'm almost done with.

EnjoY!

lately egg covers look a lot like covers from 2002, 2003... I looove it! it make me feel nostalgic :)

cool cover~ But I think I'll skip this issue, lol

The new Egg issue is now out, but seriously I think Ranzuki is kicking the crap out of Egg right now especially this month. Competition is good though, but Ranzuki is doing really well focusing on the big color photos that the Japanese Gals seem to like. Just my two cents though...laugh.

Here are is the cover, back, and contents of the latest Egg. Content is a bit thin and boring, but you still gotta grab it if you can.

awesome cover, still haven't checked it out though. maybe I'll pick it up today.

Just got it, pretty much an average issue although the articles about the couples were cute
Also does anyone agree that Yumachi is waaaaaay toooooo skinnnnnnyyyyyyy and I don't like how the magazine is pretty much promoting her impossible-for-the-average-girl-to-obtain super skinny body?

[kirakira]

Yeah I agree that Yumachi is way skinnier that most girls should strive to be.
She looks fine until you see her from the side and then you can really see how skinny she is!

Anyway I looked through the issue and liked it so I picked it up. I actually felt that this one had a lot MORE contents than last month's egg (the big difference is that last month's contents were presented more boldly). And one REALLY big relief...it's NOT filled with a bunch of ads for like half of the magazine like a lot of other magazines are lately!

Did anyone else notice that this issue is printed on nicer paper than they used to use?
I hope they keep it up because I always felt like egg and Popteen were printed on really cheap, crappy paper. Some of my copies of egg from a few years ago are not holding up well, despite even older issues of Nuts, Es POSHH!, and Jelly staying in perfectly fine condition.

[Alizee]

Yes I've noticed! I like this glossy paper they are using now than the old one, looks nice.

I didn't like the latest ranzuki issues, too much colors, and too much casual styles, I'm glad to hear than this issue is even better than the last month's one, because I like it a lot!

about yumachi... I didn't like that issue when they took her measures and put the other models like worshipping her because she is the thinniest of them all.

I know my english still a little weird, but I hope you can understand me -_-

I loved the cover!! Kanako and Romihi are a lovely couple as a model!

I KNOW. I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought that article was a little weird. Here's the article in case anyone's curious:

Apparently Yumachi's a rather popular model, but I think she's really skinny and unattractive. I really wonder how healthy she is. :///

I like the cover ^_^ I really like it when Kanako is on the cover :3

O_O She's so skinny. Unattractively thin. The other gals look so much better. I know it's a gal-ish thing to be thin but magazines are showing Yumachi as the weight goal and I think that's terrible because gals take these models as role models, they want to look exactly like them, and it's very unhealthy and, also, it doesn't look attractive at all =/ I hope magazines would stop praising Yumachi-like bodies someday.

[kirakira]

I think Yumachi is so cute, but....yeah, too skinny, her arms freak me out!

My upper arms are the part of my body that pisses me off the most because it's hard to lose weight from there but I sorta stop feeling so bad about them when I see Yumachi's arms. Her upper arms are like skinnier than her forearms! And you can sorta see the veins showing through too much and stuff. A lot of model's hands are like that, actually

Sometimes in the photo shoots with her and Aina, Aina looks massive in comparison (Aina is much taller to begin with though), but I think Aina has a much better body.

Actually, it seems kinda wrong that someone as tall as Yumachi weighs less than Kanako or Romihi, who are much shorter.

Curious, how tall is she?

I looked at her other measurements and was just flabbergasted. A twenty inch waist? Twenty-eight inch bust? Wow. I think the last time my waist or chest were that small, I was a little girl!

I understand some of how she's built is probably natural―because some people are just naturally slim―but how could an adult woman realistically be so small? Again, I question how healthy she is...
