Why Ado Amplify?
Why I started this Newsletter for Ado fans worldwide.
Back when I was a teenager, I was captivated by various music magazines, immersing myself in interviews with artists worldwide. I spent hours reading again and again interviews of bands and musicians like Radiohead, R.E.M., Daft Punk, Shiina Ringo, and Thee Michelle Gun Elephants, among others. These in-depth explorations into their musical philosophies and the narratives behind their songs allowed me to appreciate music on a level far deeper than just listening. This connection, which transcended the auditory experience, fostered a profound appreciation for the artistry of music.
Bridging the Language Gap
Today, there's a noticeable scarcity of information about Ado available in languages other than Japanese. Reflecting on my own teenage years, I realize how fortunate I was to have access to music magazines in Japan that provided interviews and articles in readable Japanese. This accessibility allowed me to immerse myself deeply in the thoughts and backgrounds of artists worldwide, enriching my music experience far beyond just listening to their songs.
With Ado Amplify, I aim to bridge this language gap, offering non-Japanese speakers the same depth of connection with Ado's music that I cherish. I'm a member of the Japanese fan club “Ado No Doki Doki Himitsu Kichi (Adoのドキドキ秘密基地)“, and always looking for new interviews and articles about Ado in Japanese.
By providing in-depth information about Ado, I hope to help others connect with her music on a deeper level, replicating the benefits I received from those Japanese music magazines in my youth.
Let’s Come Together to Support Ado!
Setting aside such reasons for starting Ado Amplify, there's also a pure and simple motivation: Ado's music is soooooo exceptional, and I want to support and help spread her work globally. It's about championing an artist whose talent deserves to be recognized and celebrated by music lovers everywhere.
Ado Amplify is my way of contributing to the global conversation about Ado's music. By sharing insights, news, and stories, I aim to create a space where fans can come together and discover more about the artist behind the music. It's a platform for both sharing and celebrating the artistry of Ado.
