magazine ii, a new magazine that carefully records the transitions of human emotions, has been launched by mixi.

It has been a long time since the magazine recession began, but I believe that magazines can still be an effective medium as long as they are produced with sincerity and delivered with care. I guess you could say that it is not the magazines but the magazine business that is in a difficult situation.

We are pleased to announce the launch of a new magazine "magazine ii (magajin ni)" from "mixi. The theme is "Communication and Emotion.

The relationship between people starts from "ii". magazine ii" was launched with the aim of giving shape to the various "communications and emotions" that emerge between "ii," the smallest of these multiple units.

The project was carried out in collaboration with 53 creators active in various fields, including musicians, photographers, and novelists, in an attempt to embody and verbalize what is difficult to give form to and invisible to the eye.

The first issue features an exciting lineup of projects, including a conversation between Yojiro Noda of "RADWIMPS" and Yoshiyuki Okuyama, a visual director and photographer, as well as a father-son session between musician CHARA and musician/actor HIMI.

Incidentally, the editor-in-chief who directed and compiled this "magazine ii" is Taiyo Nagashima.This Nagashima SunI am the same person as In other words, I am an alumnus, and for that reason I am supporting them behind the scenes.
