East Tsim Sha Tsui MTR station has been transformed into a themed hub as part of the second wave of the "Next Stop: Chiikawa Artiverse" campaign, organized by creative brand AllRightsReserved.

Running until Aug 30, the station features designated gates adorned with MTR mosaic designs that play distinct character voice effects — featuring Chiikawa, Hachiware, and Usagi — to greet commuters on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

A special collection of joint MTR-themed merchandise will be available for purchase starting Aug 1 through MTR e-Stores and selected physical locations.
