The following is a message from YOSHI's Chinese Fan Club on Weibo. As a fan of YOSHI, I was deeply moved and truly touched after reading it.🥲🥹My English is not very good, so I did my best to translate it with the help of a translator.❤️ Hello everyone, this is YOSHI's Chinese Fan Club. The first day of pre-sales for YOSHI's first Chinese magazine has finally come to a close. Looking back, from the moment we received the warm-up notice on July 21, the members of our fan club group have been working day and night on promotional preparations. Although time was as tight as a clock spring that wouldn't wind, none of us slackened. We urgently invited artists to rush out special exchange gifts, contacted designers to make promotional graphics, researched the magazine's tone and brand materials in advance, and also reached out to overseas fan clubs for synchronized promotion. Everyone truly gave their all for YOSHI's hard-won solo opportunity. To be honest, when we first received the cooperation news, we could hardly believe it—after all, could YOSHI, who had been "underprivileged" for six years, really get such a chance? Later, through the coordinating teachers, we learned that for this cover, YOSHI had been desperately dieting in private, just to look better on camera; he had also been quietly studying Chinese, which we could feel from the increasing frequency of Chinese messages on DM. Moreover, the production teachers all said they had become fans of him, and that YOSHI was the kindest and nicest artist among all they had worked with. Hearing this, we felt very distressed—he had given far more than we could see. This cooperation opportunity was truly hard-won. YOSHI's first solo Chinese magazine cover is on the supplement of Le Figaro, which is an excellent China-market resource, with a top-tier production team and content quality. Perhaps many fans haven't realized that being on the cover of Le Figaro means that magazine sales will directly affect YOSHI's future commercial and fashion resource opportunities. Although the first-day figures were not ideal, the pre-sale is far from over. Until August 2, everyone can still place orders to support YOSHI (of course, please act within your means—students, please prioritize your own lives and make rational choices). In short, thank you to YOSHI, who gave his all and stayed in his best condition for this magazine; thank you to the production teachers who coordinated this project; thank you to the artists who worked late into the night to rush out the artwork; thank you to the international fan club members who helped with overseas promotion, and to all the members of our own fan club; thank you to YOSHI fans from all over the world who studied how to order on Weidian and Weibo; and most of all, thank you to every single fan who has unconditionally supported YOSHI and us along the way. Without you, we really couldn't have made it this far. Starting tomorrow, more magazine materials will be released. Please continue to look forward to them, and please continue to believe—YOSHI deserves all the beauty in this world. With our sincerest thanks and deepest bow.
