From Editor's

Every Wednesday, there is a corner where LEON's editorial staff introduces the daily process of creating the magazine and what they learned through interviews. This time, LEON's editor-in-chief, Horikawa, will tell you about fashion photography.

It's over 20 degrees even though it's December! hand. I was riding the train sweating with my winter coat in hand, but then I realized how cold it was. My body is going crazy. December is a busy time, so please take care of yourself. Hello, this is Horikawa, the editor-in-chief of the LEON editorial department. For people raised in the south, cold is a natural enemy. It's hard.

I went deep into the mountains of Yamanashi Prefecture to take pictures for the February issue of LEON, which will be released on December 25th. In terms of location, it's near Mt. Fuji, but due to trade secrets, the details are a secret. So, the photo I took there was the fashion corner at the beginning of LEON's book, ``How to Choose a Popular Mode.'' Ihara and I are in charge of this series every other month, and we publish photo stories based on a theme called ``○○ Men.''

This time's theme is "Men out of range." yeah? Out of range = out of sight (for a lady)? Not. The logic is that if you are out of service area, which means you can't receive cell phone signals, you'll be more popular if there are times when you can't get phone calls. For example, surfing. For example, traveling alone. The man who usually responds to the lady's wishes immediately, such as "Let's go out to dinner" or "I'll pick you up," has a lot of time for himself, and that's the only time he can't do what the lady wants. something like. At first, a lady might be displeased and think, ``Why aren't you calling?'' or ``I'm slow to respond on LINE,'' but on the day when someone says, ``Sorry, sorry, the waves are coming,'' she might think, ``Ah, there's a side of this person that I don't know.'' This is a heart-wrenching argument. Well, it's up to you whether you consider this a delusion or romantic. Let's continue to be popular by using the out-of-service card wisely!

Trees that fell down due to typhoons or aging. With a blanket of moss under your feet, it's quite an unusual location. This is just a bush, but...

When you bring together the power of photographers, stylists, hair and make-up, and models, you get a fantastic picture like this. Check out the finished product in this magazine!
