Magazine in which AYAKA frequently appeared as a model announces discontinuation.

The women’s fashion magazine Bijin Hyakka announced on its official Instagram that it will cease publication with the September 2025 issue, released on August 8, 2025, saying, “We apologize for this sudden announcement.”

The news marks the end of nearly 20 years of history, prompting many messages of surprise and regret.

The magazine frequently featured MCZ’s AYAKA as a model, and even this month, some of its articles featuring her can still be viewed online. (See the link below for the machine-translated version.)

Since her feature in the 2023 article "The Reason Why A-rin Is Cute also Today," AYAKA has been highlighted in a variety of contexts ? from tie-up projects with eyewear brands to special features discussing the importance of creating smiles.

It’s unfortunate to see one less platform that offered a glimpse of her in a light somewhat different from her idol persona.
