Popular Japanese singer Ado celebrated the 8th anniversary of the start of her music career on January 10. She insisted on not showing her face in the community, updated her photo album, and praised her image director and illustrator ORIHARA’s work for still being handsome. Finally, Ado will never forget the original intention and make a wish for future activities to continue to give back to the culture of Otami (歌ってみた, that is, a cover singer) and the Niconico community.
In an early interview with Taiwanese media Mimiyin, Ado explained that his name comes from the word “アド”, a supporting role in the traditional Japanese performance “Kyogen”. In addition to being cool when pronounced, “Ado” also means hard work, turmoil, trouble, etc. She thought it suited her personality well, so she chose a stage name, and her first album was also named “Crazy Words”.
Now that the event has officially entered its 9th year, Ado said that he never expected that he would be able to continue his activities under the name “Ado” until now.
“My mentality is still that of a sophomore in junior high school (I’m so sorry). Although it’s my 8th anniversary, I really started singing seriously when I was about 12 years old, so I have been singing for about 10 years. I submit cover works quite frequently. Not too high… (sorry)”.
Today, January 10th, marks the 8th anniversary of our activities.
And it became a NEW art photo. It’s so coolWe are finally entering our 9th year. I can’t believe the day will come when I’ll celebrate my 8th anniversary with the name Ado…even though I’ll always be an 8th grader at heart (even in a bad way)… pic.twitter.com/8dXHsPXjJ9

・Go for a health check
・Do not catch a cold
・Run to the hospital immediately
・Take care of your nails— Ado (@ado1024imokenp) January 9, 2025

It’s healthier than you think! I don’t think health should lose its persuasive power as long as we sing about it, so I want to be healthy in mind and body, health first, absolutely healthy.
