In a surprising turn of events, the iconic Japanese gyaru male magazine, 'men’s egg', is set to return after its closure a few years back. The publication was influential in shaping 2000s Japanese street fashion among young men, especially within the gyaru subculture. The date for the revival issue's release is yet to be announced, but the comeback has sparked excitement and nostalgia among fans who remember its unique and trend-setting content.
The 'men's egg' magazine had a significant impact on Japanese pop culture, particularly in defining the 'gyaru' male fashion. The gyaru subculture characterized itself through dramatic clothing and makeup styles. In Japan, the revival of such a magazine can indicate a renaissance of interest in the once prevalent gyaru subculture or a nostalgia-fueled surge in demand for 2000s fashion trends.
In the US or EU, similar situations would be the comeback of an iconic print fashion or culture magazine. This could be akin to the revival of a magazine like 'The Face' in the UK, celebrated for its influence on music, fashion, and culture before it initially closed down.
