A shared heart and a summer-party setting
The released editorial photograph catches the pair making one large heart with their raised arms. Cream embroidered tops and white shorts match the bright room, where balloons, cake and orange-colored drinks set the party scene beside a blue-and-white sofa.
The finished cover takes a closer view: Nagao and Hayashi appear together in patterned swimwear beneath yellow my fave visual lettering. It is separate from the wider party photograph accompanying the announcement.
MERA says the friends’ easy exchanges kept the shoot lively. That familiarity is the feature’s central idea, with the publisher presenting the photographs as a shared summer break.
Who else appears in the issue?
Yuuri Itsuki takes the back cover. The interior lineup comprises Mai Oono, Nanoka Nakane, Ayu Hazaki, KOGA NARUMI and Moca Kankitsu.
The announced supplement is bonus video featuring Nagao and Hayashi, and Itsuki. The release does not specify its delivery format or runtime.
Original merchandise featuring Nagao, Hayashi, Itsuki and the Nagao–Hayashi pair is offered separately through i-collection; it is not listed as an included magazine extra.
Shibuya exhibition opens on release day
HMV&BOOKS SHIBUYA will host a Nagao and Hayashi panel exhibition from October 28 through November 8, 2026. The announcement also promises a lottery for exhibition panels bearing handwritten signatures.
The panels are lottery prizes, rather than guaranteed gifts with every purchase. Entry conditions and the number of winners are not specified in the announcement, which does not announce a personal appearance by either cover subject.
