The protagonist of "Extra Comfort" stands still against a bright and soft yellow green background, her eyes shining brightly, resembling windows leading to distant galaxies, making viewers dazzled. The artist meticulously outlines her starry eyes with layers of paint - this is also the soul of the entire painting. The girl in the painting has an ethereal and dreamy gaze, which has faded from Nara's early works' rebellious and fierce mischievous demeanor, indicating that the artist's creative style is gradually changing.
 

This painting 'Extra Comfort' belongs to a group of works that began to be born in April 2012, when a major earthquake occurred in eastern Japan in March of that year, resulting in heavy casualties. During this period, Nara's visual language began to change, and the little girl in his works no longer showed ferocity, and the image became softer; He began to create busts, also experimenting with new colors and tones, and slowly and carefully crafted a shimmering translucency in a layered manner.
