Regarding the new collection, Kai commented, "For this collaboration, I chose motifs of celebration, celestial bodies, and the sun. The patterns spread out like fireworks. I depicted hummingbirds and butterflies flitting around, chasing light and gold sparkles, with small dandelions, carrot flowers, clover, and cherry blossom wreaths scattered like stars. It expresses the vibrancy of nature, filled with joy and radiance."
