Friday (magazine)
Friday (フライデー, Furaidē) is a Japanese weekly magazine that contains celebrity gossip, politics, news, and simply. It is published by Kodansha. New issues are released every Friday, hence the name.
Friday was launched on 9 November 1984. The magazine is best known for its candid, paparazzi-style photographs of celebrities and politicians, accompanied by often scandalous rumors of their private lives. Such coverage is considered too risqué for daily newspapers. To be featured in Friday in this way is sometimes referred to as "Getting Fridayed" Friday Sareru (フライデーされる).[citation needed]
A special supplementary issue called Friday Dynamite is published several times a year.
In 2003, the magazine published its 1,000th issue – a double issue covering both the Golden Week and the Bon Festival/Christmas and holiday season.[citation needed]
Friday is one of three Japanese weekly magazines, along with Flash, also published by Kobunsha, and Focus, published by Shinchosha, that are collectively known as the "3F". In the early 1990s, following the rapid rise of the 3F, other major publishers began issuing their own tabloid-style magazines. In addition to the appearance of Emma (Bungeishunjū) and Touch (Shogakukan), the "3F" became the "3FET"; however, Emma and Touch were not able to compete with Flash and Friday. Both were shut down by the end of the decade. After Focus was discontinued in 2001, Friday became the most widely circulated weekly magazine. It has 409,082 subscribers according to the Japan Magazine Society. At its peak in the mid-1990s, Friday was selling roughly 600,000 issues per week.
