Jim Atwood in Japan

Happie Nuts Japan has released their Summer Trend Special issue for September 2009. The cover is pretty good but I’m looking forward to Happie Nuts spotlighting other gals in the near future. This I notice is a trend happening lately with Japanese Gal magazines. Once they find a popular gal, they tend to run with her on almost every cover. I know why they do this because it does attract and influence Japanese gals to buy the magazine. However, there are A LOT of nice fashion gals available for cover shoots and I think these magazines should take more risks. In a bad economy though, perhaps that is not such a good idea for conservative based management. Nonetheless, Happie Nuts has a nice issue on their hands this month and it’s worth checking out. I also think Happie Nuts and Jelly are finding it hard to differentiate themselves. They are both released on the same day and they both have the same style of cover. Although many gals may understand the differences, at first glance I generally think they are more similar than different. Just my thoughts. Attached is the Cover, Back, and table of contents for the September 2009 issue of Happie Nuts Japan. I like the Back Jerry Girl ad which is cool too. Enjoy!
