Shinsaibashi Store Opening Commemorative "Kizuna AI" "NICE WEATHER" Collaboration Items
Since her birth as the world's first virtual YouTuber, "Kizuna AI" has been a pioneer in spreading Japan's digital culture globally. Currently, she continues her activities, crossing the boundaries between virtual and real, primarily through music and visual expression.
To commemorate the opening of the Shinsaibashi PARCO store, a hub for culture and fashion, "NICE WEATHER," with its Korean roots, and "Kizuna AI," originating from Japan, have achieved cross-national and cross-genre fashion expression. For this project, five types of T-shirts featuring graphics reimagined from Kizuna AI's icons and worldview by two external creators and from NICE WEATHER's perspective will be developed. These items will be available for pre-order on the official EC site starting Saturday, May 2, and will be released simultaneously at all stores upon the Shinsaibashi store's opening on Friday, May 22.
■ Outline of the 5 types of T-shirts
1. Design by Momoe (2 types)
Ms. Momoe, whose expression is characterized by transcending the boundaries of plane and solid, illustration and art, starting from character illustrations, has drawn Kizuna AI from her unique perspective, incorporating a cultural sensibility characteristic of "NICE WEATHER."
2. T-shirt design by artist and illustrator Face Oka (2 types)
Mr. Face Oka is known for his expression that conceals a quiet sense of incongruity behind humor, using face icons composed only of eyes and mouth. While deliberately hiding the facial expressions, the design uses symbolic icons that are immediately recognizable to those familiar with "Kizuna AI."
3. "NICE WEATHER" original design T-shirt (1 type)
An original piece by "NICE WEATHER" that combines Kizuna AI's iconic heart and the "NICE" logo.
