which one was the test issue?....VJ was so good...As a collector who collects Vogue Nippon/Japan since the first issue (including the test issue before that), I feel so sad to see how this title has become... What a shame! The journey really stopped after their 20th anniversary...
Curious as wellwhich one was the test issue?....VJ was so good...
That's a treasure....i loved the Vogue Nippon name...This is the launching preparation issue (test issue) which was released in May or June that year if I remember correctly, marked as Special Spring Issue. It had the same content layout and design as the later official issues.

I don't have the issue with me right now. It's stored with all my other collections in my parents' place. However I did a little research online and found some images inside. There are still a few copies available on Mercari (Japanese second-hand goods website).^cover model? That's Jin (real name Kim Seokjin), one of the vocalists of BTS.
@Starry, thank you for the look at the test issue! That'd be impossible to find now. Would love a look at some of the inside pages if you're ever so inclined (photographs only, don't want to take apart a collectors issue to scan!)
If you are referring to the cover model on the test issue, that was Jacquetta Wheeler, photographed by Satoshi Saikusa.Love Love Love! Who is she?
