EGG 雑誌 scans - 2024年6月号 part 2

  ちゃおっす It's Spacy! 

It's tuesday... and I'm posting the part 2 of this, wow.

Well on a better note, I ordered 4 new gyaru magazines that will hopefully come in January (although i'm not sure about getting all 4 but that's not for you to know) so maybe more scanning will come. Today it took me around an hour to scan 30 pages, last time it took me 2 hours to scan 24 so.... 😂 but I thought I may as well post this today bc the next time I'll have the luxury of using my printer without people bothering me will be next week tuesday, so pls enjoy part 2 of these scans, a little not but they may look slightly choppy/sharpened towards the end, I can't do anything about that, it's actually the way the magazine looks in person.

I did infact, not end up eating my own words! An honest Review of EGG's new song and MV, GIMMIESUM!

 ちゃおっす It's Spacy! 

Time of writing is 4:28, I've been waiting for this song to drop for nearly 12 hours (ish) because despite the fact I called this song bad, I am actually very excited to listen to this song. Now, as I am writing this intro, I haven't listened to the song, nor have I even watched the music video, so I am truly excited to see if EGG is truly gonna make me eat my words, so. Let the honest review begin.... now!

1999-2012 Popteen volumes!... ALL of them (nearly)

ちゃおっす It's Spacy!

Why hello, for some reason I can't seem to produce a blog post that doesn't require me to be chronically unemployed, but I am sorta chronically unemployed which is why I could make this.

I actually wanted to do this with EGG but i'm currently pissed at EGG and someone already kinda did that, but I don't think i've seen anyone do this for popteen so I took it upon my unemployed self to do this, this shit was hard, I will put all of these onto a google drive folder, tbh some of the scans aren't good quality (bc i'm not gal revo or chogongal) and I still cannot find the january 1999 volume so that one is not there, but I got every volume after that. So please enjoy, because I put a stupid amount of effort into this because I decided to scan almost every image via an online scanner. The quality gets better as the year increases so the older ones will look like shit and the newer ones will look all nice and pretty.

Warning: I do not own any of these volumes so none of these images are mine

ALSO the title is MISLEADING, u are not about to find 155 popteen VOLUMES but 155 popteen volume COVERS, I didn't realise it was kinda misleading, I mean, I UNDERSTOOD wut i was talking about but I didn't consider people reading didn't, pls don't stone me for accidentally clickbaiting you

Sacrificed for Fame - The depravity of Kogyaru Magazine

 ちゃおっす It's Spacy!

So hello, wait is this a repost? Didn't you already do a deep dive into Kogyaru? Yes I did, and It was called 'a deep dive into Kogyaru' but this is an even deeper dive, as recently, I realised my criticism and my own research was truly surface level, and that Kogyaru and not just Kogyaru itself, but the parents of these models are truly engaging in some deranged activities.

I attempted to write this blog post many times but I found myself looking like next level hater, and I felt a lot of my criticisms fell to the waste-side due to the fact I was loosing my shit saying how much I rlly hated KOGYARU, so today, I will be calm, composed and demure.

And I don't usually preface this during the intro, but this is no negativity towards the Kogyaru models themselves, those are children, and I believe these children are being used, and I will explain the ways I believe this in said post. I also want to point out before you read this, these are all my theories and opinions, mixed in with some facts.

And now,  we will explore the history and problems regarding Kogyaru

Reviewing the new EGG spring 2024 Volume!

ちゃおっす It's Spacy! This is the single most thing I have been excited for, for about 3 months now. I know you've been seeing my making the royal mail (British postal service) my No.1 enemy for a while now, but why? What was in that goddamned box spacygirl? yeah it was my BRAND NEW SIGNED EGG VOLUME GWAK!!!! ik ik, I was saying gyaru volumes are too expensive and inaccessible then boom got one in my house! So sit down and let's review this magazine together, with translations! Pics!Prices! and a full run down on all my opinions and how I purchased it, and even my purchasing recommendations!

SOUL SISTER IS BACK!? - The possible return of Japan's Ultimate Ora ora gal mag!

 ゃおっす It's Spacy! I usually don't post news and gossip but the second I saw this, I new I had to act! (a day late but i still wanted to act)

The 3 Gonguro siblings with U? The legacy of the gonguro siblings and the birth and death of the gonguro boom

  ゃおっす It's Spacy! ... UH yeah where have I been? here this entire time, I've had so many goos blog ideas but I've been too lazy to write them, but I decided to stop procrastinating on blog posting and start procrastinating on my school work instead.

If you know me, theres 1 EGG model I can never get enough of, and that is Buriteri, the queen of ganguro, but who even is Buriteri? Who are her 3 other best friends who defined the short but explosive era of gonguro, and how did them and their legacy change the gyaru scene forever?

Reiwa vs Heisei, is there a decline in visual appeal in Gyaru Magazines?

 ゃおっす It's Spacy! I need to stay a top of my game and try make a blog post before monday bc if I don't I won't blog post until like Wednesday 😭. Besides the point. The real point is, is there a decline in visual quality in gyaru magazines? Were magazines back then simply better, or can Reiwa magazines really compete in terms of visual attraction? Is there a cause for all of this? Welcome to magazine discussion episode 6 - Visual appeal, Heisei vs Reiwa

I Bought the LOALO photo-book so you don't have to! Magazine Discussion Episode 5 - LOALO

 ちゃおっす It's Spacy! 

Today I decided to make a very impulsive decision and spend £9.08 buying the LOALO kindle photobook on Amazon. I've always held my reservations about LOALO as a magazine. I did mention in my EGG going global blogpost ' LOALO sells their magazines on amazon that can be read digitally for around 1500yen or £8, which would be a good deal....if it wasn't LOALO' but was it truly just a snide remark or is LOALO just a poor quality magazine? On Episode 5 of magazine discussions, I am going to not only discuss LOALO, including its history, models, demographics and goals, but also discuss whether its worth spending money for their photobook.

Chinnen! Happie NUTS' best but most forgotten model!

ゃおっす It's Spacy! I'm really in the blog posting spirit so I decided to make a blog post instead of doing the work I was supposed to hand in almost a month ago. Today I want to talk about a model I don't see anyone ever talking about anymore...So why am I making a blog post about her? Because shes a fucking legend, and her name is Chinnen!

Gyaru goes global? Will EGG'S ambitions succeed?

 ゃおっす It's Spacy! Ahhh it's been way too long since I posted. Yesterday I wrote the original draft to this blog post, but I personally felt it was too niche while focusing on a broader subject, so i decided to rewrite it. Everyone by now knows of EGG magazines ambitions to make gyaru popular internationally, but will their plan work? Is it a good idea, or is it simply overly ambitious?

Kogyaru magazine?!.... A deep dive into HJ's most controversial magazine and the world of elementary school gals

 ゃおっす It's Spacy!

Recently I've been deliberating on what I should do with this blog, mainly due to mental burn out I was considering quitting blogging, but very recently while looking for mags online, I came across something that spiked my interest, and that was the magazine Kogyaru's cover being written in entirely english! For those who don't know too much about Kogyaru this may just seem weird, but for us who do this caused some widespread concern. After thinking about it more and more, I thought I would do some research, and compile it into a blog post. So, Welcome to Magazine Discussion Episode 4- Kogyaru!
