Emergency situation occurring! Magazines were being suspended one after another...

Around 2014, when the neat and clean of gals was progressing rapidly, a tragedy befell the Gal fashion magazine "egg," which featured traditional "THE quintessential Gals" and Kuro-Gals as exclusive models...

"egg suspension of publication"!!!

It was decided to suspend publication with the July issue released on May 31, 2014😭

Egg is a magazine mainly featuring Kuro-Gals ()!

Ganguro, Yamanba, and strong Gals loved Egg!

It was a magazine that could be called "the favorite reading of Kuro-Gals," but it unfortunately suspended publication due to the changing times towards more neat and clean styles.

.Kuro-Gals... refers to gals who tan their skin in tanning salons, etc. It is used as an antonym for "Shiro-Gals" who do not tan their skin.


Later, gal fashion magazines like "nuts," "BLENDA," and "Koakuma ageha," which were supported by older sister-type Gals and were once popular with the Agejou style, also successively suspended publication, emergency situation occurring!!

The end of the Gal culture, which started in the 90s, began to appear...

The neat and clean of Gals accelerates.

In the October 2013 issue of the Gal fashion magazine "Popteen," released on August 31, 2013, the neat and clean of Gals was declared with the headline "The Era of GAL is Changing!! neat and clean Girls."

After this declaration, Gal magazines featuring neat and clean girls, who made the old-fashioned author question, "Are they really Gals?", started to become mainstream. The era has changed from Heisei to Reiwa.



In the Reiwa era, the latest trend among gals is the "neat and clean of sweet Gal," but with the revival of the gal fashion magazine "egg," there has been an increasing chance to see Heisei-Gals (Kuro-Gals)

With the new "egg" members, the day might come when the gal boom is revived!
