FLASH magazine gravure covers

Overview

In late July 2026, FLASH magazine highlighted former pop‑duo member Shoko Aida on its cover, marking the 38th anniversary of Wink’s debut and the 30th anniversary of Aida’s solo career. The feature introduced a new series titled “Beauty is linked. 艶のある人生,” with photographs and an interview that touched on her personal life and recent concert.

A week later, the magazine’s August 4 issue turned to voice actress Yuka Iguchi, showcasing a ten‑page gravure spread and an eight‑page mini‑book. The article emphasized Iguchi’s roles in popular anime series and her dedication to fitness for the photoshoot, while also featuring other entertainers such as former idol Komaki Minejima and model Noko Ichinose. Together, the two issues illustrate FLASH’s ongoing strategy of featuring Japanese entertainment figures in gravure‑focused cover stories, shifting from veteran music idols to younger voice talent.
