Magazine Cuttings & Comments

Kaz Inoue Comment
I am really honored to be on the cover. （The color red (on the cover) is my personal favorite color, so I was very happy.
I was also happy to be able to wear a "girlfriend-like" outfit this time. I am usually told that "Kazu doesn't look like a girlfriend" (laugh).

Mio Matono Comment
（Thank you very much for the Weekly Chan Media Award!
I don't think I have the same eye-catching charm as the other third-term students, so when the manager told me I had been chosen, I asked back, "Is it really me? I asked back when the manager told me I had been selected.
Even so, I was very happy that they chose me, and I still have confidence in myself.

I am still very happy and confident about it.
