■CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso
Latin music's rising stars, CA7RIEL & Paco Amoroso—affectionately known as “Katopaco”—were nominated in 10 categories at the 2025 Latin Grammy Awards, ultimately winning 5 awards. VI/NYL conducted a secret shoot with them during their first-ever Japan visit this summer, which generated major buzz. We present a massive volume of chaotic photos and interviews captured as they roamed the streets of Japan.
■Fukase
As frontman of SEKAI NO OWARI, Fukase has long been a driving force in the music scene. With the launch of his hip hop solo project this November, he is exploring a new mode of expression and a different artistic stance, continually redefining where he stands today. Paired with his latest fashion story, Fukase reflects on the intentions behind his solo project and the changes he is experiencing as an artist.
