ADO

Ado is a Japanese pop star known for her rage-filled, catchy songs and mysterious identity. She debuted in 2020 at age 17 with the digital single "Usseewa", which hit number one on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 and other charts. Ado is famous for never appearing in photos or videos, and only her silhouette is visible at concerts. In interviews, she hides her face with shadows or avatars. Her voice is known for its ability to shift between delicate and angry tones. Ado doesn't show her face to keep focus on her artistry and music, which is a practice aligned with the Vocaloid scene, and to maintain her anonymity for artistic freedom and to preserve her private life. She expresses herself through her powerful vocals, animated avatars, and her silhouette during performances, allowing for a unique artistic experience where attention is on her songs, not her appearance. Ado's music blends various styles including J-pop, rock, and elements from Vocaloid and anime music, often featuring a fresh, dramatic sound with influences from jazz pop, funk rock, and yakousei electro house.
