I see then. I figured that it might also be there to prevent people from spreading the news, like a "leak of information in general" (keep this knowledge a secret, sort of thing), but going back again, I have never seen this on other magazine pages.

You mentioned above with "leaking the whole image," which you wouldn't be able to because the square covers a part of the figure, but having that text in the square made it seem like there's a double purpose to that square. Maybe it is trying to prevent unofficial reproduction in general doubly by having both the text and the square.

The Japanese Friend of mine is from Japan, and was born there.

I think you are right, but I feel that it's the choice of word that made it kind of confusing to me. If it was like SAMPLE, it would be clear instantly.
