Who is the girl on the front? Just a marketing ploy?

I'd have to look through the magazine and see if I could decipher enough to give you a name, but more than likely she was a pop idol at the time. Famitsu ran articles about and interviews with traditionally non-gaming audiences the same way Nintendo Power used their 'Celebrity Spotlight' column to focus on athletes, actors, or other celebs and the fun they had with their NES consoles.

So yes, marketing ploy, but in the same vein as putting Brittney Spears or the Backstreet Boys on the cover of a magazine from the mid-90's was here in the US.
