The globally popular Japanese group &TEAM, which is currently attracting attention, will appear in the special edition of CanCam's November issue, released on September 22 (Monday). The cover, which features all nine members together for the first time, showcases a close-up shot that highlights their beautiful faces and the strength of their bond. Additionally, the magazine includes a substantial 13-page feature. The theme of the feature is 'If you peeked into &TEAM's home...' and includes interviews about their feelings as they take a new step into the world and their thoughts on their fandom, LUNÉ, as well as a diagram revealing the members' true selves and a special project where NICHOLAS and HARUA showcase linked outfits with new DIESEL items. In the 'home' themed project, the members are divided into units: JO×HARUA, NICHOLAS×MAKI, EJ×FUMA×TAKI, and K×YUMA, with plenty of private-feeling shots taken. For example, the shooting concept for NICHOLAS (left) and MAKI (right) is 'Laundry Time', and their bright smiles while holding laundry are already raising expectations. In the interview, NICHOLAS shares, 'Since we live together all the time, we have become like family. It has become natural for us to be together, and that’s why we can enjoy creating content without having to make it ourselves!' They candidly answer questions about their daily lives, such as 'What do you do in the dorm?' and 'What are your house rules when living together?' making it a must-read for fans. The latter part of the feature reveals a unique member diagram that investigates how their impressions of each other have changed over three years. For EJ, K is 'a bundle of talent! He often buys delicious food.' Who does K think is 'a cute baby♡'? The unique wordplay and playful interactions between the close members are a must-see for fans. The issue includes a bonus 'Super Cool♡&TEAM×CanCam Special “See-Through” Sticker'. In addition to group shots, there are clear stickers featuring each of the nine members' cool poses and expressions, making it an essential item to stick on smartphones or light sticks to feel close to them. There’s also a ticket for a chance to win signed live photos taken by each unit (4 winners). Furthermore, there’s an announcement page for the photo book CanCam Meets '&TEAM' (to be released on November 18), marking the start of a new visual magazine format by CanCam, known for its captivating gravure. The first edition features &TEAM, themed 'What if &TEAM were in our world...?' with scenarios like 'What if they were our boyfriends?' and 'What if we went out together during summer vacation?', filled with imaginative situations. The members themselves endorse the fresh expressions captured, saying, 'You might not see &TEAM this natural very often!' There are three versions of the cover: the regular edition, HMV limited edition, and Rakuten Books limited edition, each with a different bonus 'Glossy Visual Card'. The HMV limited edition includes a random hand-holding card of each member (9 types total), while the Rakuten Books limited edition includes a postcard featuring all members together. &TEAM will make their Korean debut with their first mini-album 'Back to Life' on October 28. K states, 'The time has come for us to prove our strength on the stage of Korea. We will show various sides of ourselves, so please look forward to it.' EJ adds, 'This is a big challenge for our Korean debut, but it’s also a new step towards fulfilling our big dreams, so please watch over us warmly, LUNÉ.' MAKI expresses excitement about their future activities, saying, 'It feels like 'Finally, it has come!' I think we have become a group that can actively work overseas, and I’m looking forward to it.' The special edition of CanCam's November issue and the photo book release, packed with everything about their third anniversary, Korean debut, and more, is something to look forward to.
