ADO

Faceless and anonymous singer, Ado is one of Japan’s rising stars in the music scene. Pronounced as aw-doh,  Ado became a huge overnight hit in Japan after the release of her digital single “Useewa.” The singer may have begun by recording her music in her bedroom in a soundproofed closet as a teenager, but today, she is hosting arena tours across cities in Japan.

Ado’s Discography

In her music journey, Ado has bounced back and forth as a Vocaloid artist and a Utaite. The title of her first single, Useewa, is literally translated as “Don’t Be Loud,” but in the context Ado uses, it is more akin to “Shut the F*** Up” (or something equally angry and provocative). After its release in October 2020, Useewa soared to massive online success, amassing millions of views and streams and topping charts across Japan. The song is several minutes of furious, heart-pounding rock that, despite the anger in its lyrics, somehow makes you feel great after listening to it (a feeling of immense release, perhaps).

In January 2022, her debut album, Kyogen, was released. Later in the year, she voiced the story of Uta in a soundtrack album for the anime film One Piece Film: Red. The track, New Genesis off the album, has won several awards, including Song of the Year at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards Japan. Sprinkled in Ado’s discography are chart-topping singles like Show, Odo, Backlight, I’m Invincible, and Kura Kura. The latter was featured as the opening theme song on the wildly popular Japanese animated series Spy x Family. Ado has also scored a collaboration on the song, Unforgiven with K-pop stars Le Sserafim.

Ado On Tour

In 2022, two years after her debut, Ado embarked on her first nationwide tour in Japan, Shinkiro (Mirage). This tour was closely followed by the Mars tour, held in eleven different locations in Japan. When performing, despite being anonymous, Ado appears in person on stage at times, often shrouded in dark lighting. However, in her videos, Ado generally prefers to be represented by animated sequences. In April 2024, Ado will appear in Japan’s National Stadium as the first-ever solo female artist to hold a solo show in the venue. Her first world tour, Wish would also take place between February - April of the same year, with the European and American legs sponsored by Crunchyroll.
