Mina Miya Graces the Cover of Biteki's September Issue, Radiating Happiness: 'I Want to Enjoy Life Without Comparing Myself to Others'

Biteki September Issue Regular Edition Biteki September Issue 'Transparency Complete' Box Edition

Beauty Icon Embarks on a New Stage

Each time she graces the cover, Mina Miya receives a huge response. Her popular column "What the Flowers Say," which has been ongoing since 2021, is also a hit. Mina Miya, who has always stimulated our beauty minds and led the era, will grace the cover of the September issue of Biteki, marking her last cover in her 30s, released on July 22 (Wed).

In the regular edition, she wears a soft yellow frill, embodying transparency and a sense of well-being that seems to seep from within. On the other hand, in the 'Transparency Complete' box edition, she showcases an adult beauty that exudes strength and dignity with a blue dress and glossy pink makeup.

In the pages, we feature Mina Miya, who is facing a major turning point in her life and will reach the milestone of turning 40 this November, across 10 pages. She confesses, "I don't resist it, but I don't feel like I'm turning 40. It's a milestone, but it's still just a passing point." From her carefully woven words about aging and accepting change, we delve into the secrets of Mina Miya's beauty.

The keyword is 'flexibility'—pursuing choices that feel good for oneself

In addition to the fulfilling cover interview, this time we present "10 Things I've Stopped Doing for Beauty" and "10 Beauty Challenges Ahead." Although Mina Miya has an image of being strict about beauty and everything else, the keyword she mentioned as her own change is 'flexibility.' She says she used to be bound by her own rules, but now she is gradually updating her way of thinking. She cherishes the decision to 'stop' and continues to make choices that feel good for her. From reviewing her past beauty habits to arriving at her 'aesthetics'—we also delve into what she wants to cherish in her 40s and new beauty challenges.

Mina Miya smiles, saying, "I want to open new doors in my 40s and enjoy life without comparing myself to others." Don't miss the candid thoughts shared with Biteki readers who have walked together so far!

In the regular edition, she wears a fluffy yellow frill and shows an expression full of a sense of well-being. She showcases a soft beauty with transparency that seems to seep from within.

In the 'Transparency Complete' box edition, she combines a blue dress with glossy pink makeup for a refined look. Her dignified expression highlights an elegant beauty unique to adults in one shot.

"Adult beauty is ultimately about food"—Special interview with Sakurai Rin also delivered

Furthermore, in the latter half of the feature, we also deliver a special interview with her close friend, Sakurai Rin. From their favorite beauty spots to what they are conscious of to stay beautiful, and even Sakurai Rin's home situation where she often visits, we delve into the private lives of the two.

The two often exchange beauty information. Mina Miya learns about clinics from Sakurai Rin, and Sakurai Rin learns about health from Mina Miya.

"I think beauty and health ultimately come down to food. I'm reminded again that what you put in your mouth creates you," says Mina Miya. "With your current words, I might be able to stop eating tempura and ramen. Alright, I'll make today the last day," says Sakurai Rin. "You're eating today, aren't you?" (laughs) says Mina Miya, and the fun banter never stops.

What Sakurai Rin was shocked by when she first visited Mina Miya's house, and what beauty they are both into now—continue reading the intriguing interview in the magazine.

Happiness aura full open! Cool and charming, changing expressions

Mina Miya, who enjoys beauty and work while facing a turning point in her life, is increasingly radiant and full of a happiness aura. In the photoshoot, she tried various poses, and we felt a suppleness with even more relaxed shoulders than before.
