Japanese (shmup) game magazines

I live in Holland (The Netherlands) and I just came from a newsstand that had lots of japanese magazines and figures.

They had some Japanese Playstation magazines, even with demo dvd's.
I asked the guy about Arcadia magazine, and he'll give me a call when he gets it.

It will cost me a mere 12 Euro's for one issue.
What other japanes game mags cover shmups and such.
I can't read one sign Japanese, but I'll buy it for the style and graphics and screenshots, etc.

What other mags have info about shmups and such?
Any suggestions?

Arcadia deals with arcade releases.

Famitsu does console stuff.

Gamest I believe was superceded by Arcadia. You could probably get some older issues with lots of shmup information within.

There are probably a lot more smaller gamezines, but those are the major ones I know of.
