&TEAM Takes Over CanCam’s November Special Edition
If you thought you’d seen every side of &TEAM, think again. The rising Japan-based K-pop group is front and center in CanCam‘s November special issue, out September 22. It’s the group’s first-ever cover shoot as a full unit—and yes, they’re serving full face and flawless friendship.
All nine members are hugged together on the glossy cover, radiating that irresistible mix of beauty and brotherhood. Inside, fans are treated to a 13-page deep dive into their off-stage lives, intimate interviews, and a bonus that’ll make your sticker-obsessed inner child squeal: exclusive ‘skesuke’ (semi-transparent) stickers featuring the group.
Life at Home With &TEAM
What really sets this feature apart? A rare peek into the members’ shared home life. With the theme “If we peeked inside &TEAM’s house…,” the magazine captures private moments in four adorable unit pairings: JO & HARUA, NICHOLAS & MAKI, EJ with FUMA & TAKI, and K & YUMA.
NICHOLAS and MAKI’s concept? “Laundry Time.” Picture two besties mid-spin cycle, flashing sunshine smiles while clutching a basket of freshly folded t-shirts. Too cute to compute. These candid, slice-of-life shots give fans major soft boyfriend vibes.
Up Close and Personal
NICHOLAS gets real in the group interview: “Living together every day, we’ve become more like family. It feels natural now, and that’s what makes doing variety shows and content so much fun—nothing feels forced.”
The members also spill on who does what around the house, their roommate rules, and what they wear for loungewear (Yes, it’s pajama tea party time, folks). There’s even a relationship diagram revealing how their impressions of each other have changed over three years.
Spoiler: K is seen as “a bundle of style who always brings delicious food,” while someone earns the ultimate title of “cute baby.” You’ll also catch classic nicknames like “perfect muscle,” “tsundere cat,” and “the world’s kindest fairy.”
Bonus Gifts for Every Fan Type
Every edition includes collectible ‘skesuke’ stickers featuring solo and group shots with everything from cool poses to irresistibly playful expressions. They’re the kind of merch that instantly upgrades your phone, photocard binder, or glowing lightstick.
And for those who want even more: lottery tickets to win autographed Polaroids from each mini-unit—it’s basically K-pop gacha IRL.
Coming Soon: &TEAM’s First Photobook and Korean Debut
Can’t get enough? Just wait for the full-length visual magazine CanCam Meets: &TEAM, dropping November 18. This ‘imaginary boyfriend’ concept photobook explores dreamy “what if” scenarios like summer getaways and date days. The members themselves say: “You’ve never seen us this natural before.”
There will be three versions—regular, HMV-exclusive, and Rakuten-exclusive—with shiny visual cards and postcards, plus a random hand-holding card (cue jealous screams).
Korean Debut? Locked and Loaded
Next up for &TEAM is their highly anticipated Korean debut with the mini-album “Back to Life” on October 28. K shares, “It’s time for us to prove ourselves on the Korean stage. We’re ready to show so many new sides.”
EJ adds, “It’s a big leap, but also an exciting one. We hope LUNÉ (our fandom) supports us all the way.” As MAKI puts it, “It finally feels real. We’re truly ready to be a global group.”
The Takeaway
Between their cozy photo spreads, heartfelt interviews, and upcoming Korean debut, &TEAM is clearly on a rocket ride to the top. The CanCam November issue and photobook capture their evolution from rookies to rising global stars. One thing’s clear: the &TEAM era is just beginning.
