ACEes is stepping into the spotlight on the cover of anan magazine's May 27 issue (No. 2497) in their first group cover appearance. The five-member group brought the energy with a concept called "令和の日本にキュンを届けるときめきアベンジャーズ" (heartwarming avengers delivering excitement to modern Japan).

For the shoot, each member showcased a distinct fashion persona. Toyki Ukisho went futuristic with a hoodie, goggles, and flight cap—a "near-future adventurer look." Yuto Nasu channeled soldier vibes in a white tank top, MA-1 jacket, and work pants. Ryuto Sakuma embraced neo-traditional style with hakama-inspired pants, navy haori, and rimless glasses. Tatsuo Fukada took a "cool bad boy" approach with a leather jacket and black skinny jeans, while Tatsuya Sato completed the lineup in a beret and check-pattern long jacket for a "model fashionista" vibe.

The group coordinated looks in black and red for their primary shots, with members rolling up their sleeves and undoing buttons to nail a more confident, mature aesthetic. During the shoot, the five switched between cool expressions and playful heart poses, keeping the energy dynamic.

In accompanying interviews, ACEes discussed their upcoming Arena Tour 2026 "V," which launches May 26. They also opened up about what recently made them feel that flutter of excitement (ときめき)—a recurring theme throughout the feature. Members talked about their collective strengths as a group and shared personal anecdotes with trademark candidness.

The May 27 issue also features audition content from "PRODUCE 101 JAPAN 新世界," "WORLD SCOUT: THE FINAL PIECE," and "Theater Boys Project," with appearances from other talent including Ryugujou and Richardo Keita Kusama.

This cover marks a milestone for ACEes as they continue gaining traction in mainstream media, balancing music commitments with high-profile magazine features and touring.
