The cover story is called Person in Focus. Eiichirō Sakata takes cover photos for Aera, and since the person on the cover is the photographer, it is a self-portrait.

The title Aera is derived from the Latin word that means "era" in English, and a backronym said to mean "Asahi Shimbun Extra Research and Analysis."

Aera's advertisement in the Asahi features topical dajare (word play).
