Yuzuru Hanyu appears on the cover of AERA for the second consecutive issue
Mika Ninagawa photographs "people dancing in a monochrome world" in pursuit of "expressions no one has ever seen before"
Professional skater Yuzuru Hanyu appears on the cover of the August 26th issue of AERA for the second consecutive issue. The magazine's cover photographer, Mika Ninagawa, has taken a photo of "Yuzuru Hanyu dancing in a monochrome world." Witness the "never-seen-before expression" created by these two artists.
Yuzuru Hanyu will be on the cover of two consecutive issues. This is a first in the history of AERA. In a complete change from the first issue, in which he was wearing a refreshing expression wrapped in light, in the second issue, he is captured dancing freely in a monochrome world with a bewitching expression. His sharp, momentary appearance in movement gives off an overwhelming presence. The camera of the magazine's cover photographer, Mika Ninagawa, follows him in every direction. This issue features "The unchanging depths of a world without color." And the previous issue featured a world of sparkling colorful colors. They will be released on November 1st as the all-monochrome photo book "Shin" and the all-color photo book "Gi." Please look forward to them.

The Paris Olympics saw heated battles day after day. Inspirational scenes are brought back to life one after another, including fencing, which caused a sensation in the country of chivalry, the success of gymnast Shinnosuke Oka, who became the new gymnast, and skateboarding, in which a teenager excelled. Dramatic photos are galore, capturing the excitement in the pages of the magazine. The Japanese men's volleyball and basketball teams were described as the "strongest in history."

●Kouhei Matsushita × Hiroyasu Toji
The popular series "Matsushita Kohei 10 Colors" is a conversation with lighting designer Tokairin Hiroyasu, and this is the fourth of six installments.
