Eye-Ai Changes Tactics, Gets Me To Buy New Issue

October Issue of Eye-Ai with Orange Caramel
  About a couple of years ago it seems like local Japan Entertainment magazine Eye-Ai figured out that the best way to sell lots of their issues was to simply feature a Johnny’s Entertainment Boys Group, because it became a regular thing to see them on the covers, month after month!
  Kinki Kids, Kat-tun, Arashi, even solo acts like Domoto Koichi and Takizawa Hideaki, it became a fun routine to visit Shirokiya each month to see which Johnny’s artist “made the cut”, so imagine my surprise when the new issue came out and featured on the cover was none other than K-pop Group AFTERSCHOOL’s cute sub-unit Orange Caramel!!!
  I couldn’t remember the last time a Korean artist was on the cover of the magazine, but this was certainly the first time since I became a fan of K-pop, and a group I adored, to boot! I HAD to pick this one up!!! Perusing the article, the interview was  pretty simple and basic, (the girls were promoting their cover of the Candies song "Sweet Devil" which I talked about here) but never mind, this was the first magazine in any fashion I’d bought with a K-pop act on the cover! Mmm, who’s next…Girls Generation? *Crosses Fingers*
