Music magazine "SHOXX" has just unveiled the cover of its April 2011 edition, featuring Nightmare's guitarist Sakito in his first ever semi-nude shoot!

The semi-nude pictorial is a collaboration with the photographer Hanai Tooru, who has been planning this project for almost an entire year. The photoshoot aims to strip both the body and the mind of Nightmare's guitarist and main composer.

Sakito declined the offer to do a semi-nude shoot at first, as he felt that he didn't have the self-confidence to carry out the photoshoot. After thinking things such as, "You have no idea what kind of reaction you'll get, but isn't that a reason to do it?" and "If you only do conservative things, nothing can come of it," Sakito changed his mind and decided to go through with the project.

The April edition of SHOXX goes on sale on February 21st, and will also feature articles about the Gazette, ViViD, and SuG.
