Question "Free & Easy" magazine?
In the article about Ayu's new magazine "Ready go!", there is a reference to a men's magazine "Free & Easy" already being released. I'm assuming this is a magazine about Ayu written for the male audience? Does anyone know anything about this? I did an AHS search, and the only discussion I see is about the song, so I hope this hasn't been discussed before...if so, I'm sorry...

p.s. the link is:

thanks to anyone who can help

From what I could understand (I used the auto-translator), they mention that last year the Free & Easy mag published a seperate number featuring Ayu (with the title Hamasaki Republic) and it sold 500 000 copies in a month.

I happened to see it in my neighbourhood's bookstore today, but I didn't leaf through it. I'll check it out tomorrow.

The magazine was a special edition of the magazine "Free & Easy". It was released at the same time as Ayu's single "Free & Easy". The photos in the issue portrayed Ayu as Jeanne D'Arc and there was an interview with her. Here's the official page for the issue:

I guess what I'm asking is if it's worth buying? The Kinokuniya near me doesn't have it, so I'll have to order it, which means I can't cancel it after looking at it.
