==History== Despite being a Japanese magazine, a Japanese musician was not featured on the cover of Burrn! until the January 2016 issue featured Akira Takasaki on its cover. This does not include the separate Burrn! Japan magazine, which was published for six volumes between 1987 and 1990 to focus on Japanese artists, before being revived in 2016. This has been said to have been the policy of Burrn!s editor-in-chief from 1984 to 1993, Kō Sakai.
