Who Is Ado?
A brief introduction to the mysterious Japanese singer Ado.
Sudden Emergence of A New Star
Japan’s top “Utai-te”, Ado is making a striking impact on the Japanese music industry, starting with her debut single "Usseewa" reaching the top of the Billboard Japan chart.
For those who aren’t familiar with the term "Utai-te": This term refers to a vocalist who primarily performs online, often without revealing their face, a style that Ado has adopted. Within the realm of Japanese Vocaloid culture, it denotes artists who sing original Vocaloid songs or cover existing tracks.
Born on October 24, 2002, in Tokyo, Japan, Ado was awakened to Vocaloid during her elementary school years and began showcasing her singing talent when she was in middle school.
Ado's professional career began with a bang at the age of 17, showcasing her distinctive style that traverses genres such as J-Pop, Electro, Jazz, Rock, Funk, and New Rave. Her music, characterized by its emotional depth and her powerful voice, has immediately resonated with a wide audience, earning her a place among Japan's most promising artists.
She continues to break new ground. Her song "New Genesis" became the theme for the anime film “One Piece Film: Red” and topped Apple Music's Global Top 100 charts, further cementing her status as a leading figure in the music scene.
In 2023, Ado performed her latest song "Show（唱）" at Japan's largest music program, the "NHK Red and White Song Battle" (NHK紅白歌合戦), significantly expanding the reach of her music's powerful impact to new audiences.

Another New Ado Song
The release of "Chocolacadabra" (Feb 2024) adds to Ado's impressive discography, showcasing her ability to craft songs that are both catchy and emotionally engaging. This track, like many of her others, demonstrates her versatility as an artist and her commitment to pushing the boundaries of her music.
Ado: The Best Is Yet To Come!
Ado's impact on the music scene is undeniable. Her "Wish" tour is a celebration of her journey so far and a promise of more to come. As she continues to tour and create, Ado's influence is poised to expand, captivating audiences and leaving a lasting imprint on the music industry. Her journey is one to watch, as each step she takes is a stride towards greater musical achievements.
I've always had an eclectic taste in music, enjoying everything from Tom Waits' raw storytelling to Radiohead's experimental rock, DJ Shadow's cool beats, and the intensity of Death Metal. My playlist is just as likely to feature the energetic anthems of Japanese bands like The Blue Hearts, Thee Michelle Gun Elephant, and Shiina Ringo (who Ado has covered in 2023).
Despite this eclectic mix, Ado's music strongly stands out with its exceptional brilliance, rocking my soul with every song I listen to and every performance I watch. To witness Ado's musical journey and her achievements in real time is an extraordinary stroke of fortune, a real-time experience I cherish deeply.
