There are only a few music magazine covers that don't have Brett as the leading star. Of course, there are guitar magazines that put Richard or Bernard on the cover. This must be the only cover with Bernard while he was still in the band. Rockin'on is a Japanese magazine, that had several Suede covers. This issue shows us how skinny Bernard was! As the 10 page article is all in Japanese, I can't tell what World exclusive!! is about. Maybe he was announcing the split here, and that news only got through to Europe 2 months later. It is more probable that he's talking about the new album Dog Man Star that was recorded in Spring 1994.
The article has several other great portraits of Bernard, taken by photographer Richard Weedon.
