ぴこぷり Pikopuri January - March 2016 Magazine - ガールズモード 3 Girls Mode 3

The other week I was tidying up my bookshelf and came across my ぴこぷり Pikopuri magazines. I knew I had posted some of the issues on the blog previously and noticed that this issue had no yet made it onto here. So I took some photos of the ガールズモード 3 Girls Mode 3 pages as they are too adorable to not share. This issue the January - March 2016 and came with a cute Animal Crossing lunch bag. It is themed around Amiibo Festival and it is a great item to carry your lunch to work in. I've been using it quite often this year and you can fit a number of things in it. Plus I like how it folds down once empty so I can easily chuck it in my backpack.

Onto the Girls Mode 3 content now and this issue features six pages of Girls Mode information. The first two pages have some cute preppy and lively themed outfits. The preppy one is right up my alley and I feel like wearing something like this currently as the weather is perfect for this. All these looks are giving winter vibes which makes sense as this issue was released during January which would've been winter in Japan. This issue features the little Girls Mode themed comic stripes like other ぴこぷり Pikopuri magazines and this first one reminds me of when I force customers at the boutique to buy as many layers of clothing as possible.

ぴこぷり Pikopuri April - June 2016 Magazine - ガールズモード 3 Girls Mode 3

Recently I was in a Newsagency and was amazed at all the magazines still being printed. Back when I was a teenager, I remember always bugging my parents to get me the latest issue of Smash Hits or I'd save up for the Total Girl showbag at the Show. Crazy to think that's how we used to get all our information and dodgy ringtones off the back page for ridiculous amounts of money. So I thought I'd take a look at another ぴこぷり Pikopuri from my collection and this issue is the April to June 2016 one. 

This issue is packed with content and I remember buying it for the K.K. Slider amiibo card. I still have him in my amiibo collection and it's quite a cool looking card! You also got a cute amiibo folder that features Animal Crossing on both sides. It holds a fair amount of amiibo cards but definitely not enough if you have a decent collection. My collection isn't even big and it won't all fit in there! There was the usual sticker sheet as well that ぴこぷり Pikopuri issues have and I love these stickers so much that I'm scared to use them :( I really should start using them but I just don't have anything special enough for them even though I have like 5 journals.

ぴこぷり Pikopuri January - March 2017 Magazine - ガールズモード 3 Girls Mode 3

A few years back, I wrote a blog post covering the ガールズモード 3 Girls Mode 3 content in the Japanese magazine ぴこぷり Pikopuri. I was recently sorting through my bookshelf and was reading my ぴこぷり Pikopuri issues and thought it was a great time to post some more Pikopuri Girls Mode content! This time I'll be showcasing the January - March 2017 issue which features a cute Isabelle on the cover. There was a fun bonus with this issue which was a guide to NPC's in Animal Crossing New Leaf and I actually use this one a bit!

Onto the ガールズモード 3 Girls Mode 3 photos now and this issue only features four pages of the game. The game had been out for a long time and wasn't as popular to be featured as a key title in the magazine. It wasn't even featured on the front cover and with that, I knew there wouldn't be too much stuff in it. I actually brought this for the Animal Crossing book and the Girls Mode stuff was a nice bonus.

I always love admiring these pages as I adore how they layout all the items and match them to illustrations. It always reminds me of old KERA or Japanese fashion magazines. Everything catches your eye! Nice to see how the editors of the magazine styled the items and some I would've never thought of. The ガールズモード 3 section always features a little comic featuring various characters from the series and this issue features two different stories with one about Sophie. Awww she is the cutest and I miss her in Styling Star.

ぴこぷり Pikopuri Summer 2015 Magazine - GIRLS MODE 3

It's time to take a look at another Japanese magazine featuring information on the Girls Mode series. This is the ぴこぷり Pikopuri Summer 2015 Magazine released in June 2015 in Japan and features 124 dedicated to various video games aimed at young girls. I mainly brought this issue for the content on Girls Mode 3, Disney Magical Castle: My Happy Life and Animal Crossing. This particular issue came with the usual Animal Crossing QR Code appendix book, stickers and some special origami of some villagers. Today we'll just be looking at the Girls Mode 3 content of the magazine which covers a few pages. First off is the cover of the magazine which is bright and colourful as usual.

 The title page of the Girls Mode 3 section features the character that the magazine uses for the game and a cute photo of a character in game wearing a dress from Marzipan Sky (known as La Chou Chou in Japan). The next page features some more outfits which is the standard content you will see in the Pikopuri magazines with Girls Mode stuff. There are some cute Girls Mode themed comic manga strips included on some of the pages. They follow the adventures of the character shown on the title page and her doing things around Bougainville and interacting with characters like Sophie.

Some more outfit photos are shown on the next few pages. The Pikopuri magazines along with the Girls Mode content in the キャラぱふぇゲーム Chara Parfait magazines and special Girls Mode book are great resources for getting outfit ideas. I know I've gotten some inspiration from outfits I've seen in the magazines which were combinations I never thought of or items I've kinda ignored.
