Update: February 29, 2009 «©NCSX» The Japanese magazine scene is an interesting one, especially if you reside outside of Japan. On the video game side of the periodical trade, Famitsu has been around since the early years and it's pretty much the magazine of record for the Japanese gaming industry at this point. For toy lovers, there's always Hobby Japan to cover all things PVC and ABS. If your interests swell towards the more avant-garde however, you can always find a friend in Kera Magazine. Kera is a monthly lifestyle and fashion magazine with a strong slant towards bleeding edge Goth-Loli style. We have a sneaking suspicion that Mr. Burton of Nightmare Before Christmas fame subscribes to Kera magazine. In this month's issue, readers follow a girl named Uri as she visits different shops such as Sexy Dynamite London Punk and Jimsinn. She gamely clowns for the camera, shows off her shopping discoveries, and makes funny faces. The cover model is featured in a 4-page spread where she dresses up in a Goth-Santa outfit and a Goth-Nurse get-up. Our favorite part of the magazine is the Street Snap section where a roaming photographer takes to the streets and snaps shots of Goth-Loli garbed citizens in all their sub-culture splendor. Very entertaining stuff. 210 Pages Size: 29.4 x 20 x 1.2 cm Jan Code: 4910134050184 ASIN: B0010A7E08 View larger photos for this item on the main NCSX website.
