■About 'egg'
'egg' was first published in September 1995 and became a monster magazine that captured the real gal culture of Shibuya high school girls at the time, boasting a peak circulation of 500,000 copies. The magazine's name embodies the meaning: "We want to grow together with models and readers who are still in an 'egg' state."
It suspended publication in May 2014 but was revived as a web version in March 2018. Currently, it promotes "#yappareiwaMogyarushho" (Reiwa gals still rule!) and focuses on digital dissemination, primarily through YouTube. With over 1.2 million followers on TikTok, it has overwhelming influence among young people and leads the forefront of gal culture.
