ViVi Feb 2010 ???
 

Hi all ya ;-)
I've just bought this issue of ViVi in a chinatown shop and the cover says, it's a February 2010 issue. Can anyone explain, how this is possible? haha, I'm very curious about this ;-)

Thanks

Japanese magazines are usually always released one month before the actual issue month

hehe, thanks for assuring me. I thought it was a chinese fake, because it's in chinese.

No problem!

Ah ViVi is just translated into Chinese, it's not a fake~

I never understood why they like to do that.

It's weird when in Agoust all the autumn like covers start to appear, while it's still very summerish out there xD

^ Exactly. :yes I always used to question this too, but I figured it out.

Japanese issues are faster than the actual month
Normally either HK or Taiwan will do a translation for the chinese version of these fashion magazines. Recently, China has done that too.

You can expect to see Chinese versions of Vivi, SCawaii[they put chinese name instead of the word scawaii], Bea's up. I'm not sure if there's any others..

Oh yeah If i'm not wrong, the Chinese version of Deji Deji will be older issues of the Japanese version. Like if Japanese version is vol 120, Chinese version will be around vol 115 or something
