Recommended Songs by Ado | A Curated Selection Showcasing the Allure of Her Vocals

GeGeGe no Kitaro

The classic series GeGeGe no Kitaro has been remade many times.

There are also many feature-length anime versions, and the theme song changes each time.

This piece was released as the opening theme for the TV special “GeGeGe no Kitaro: The Generations of GeGeGe I Loved.” The vocals are by Ado, who is hugely popular among elementary school students, and the arrangement adds far more horror elements and intensity than the original.

While the arrangement itself is complex, the vocal line is simple, so if sung straightforwardly, even elementary school students should be able to handle it with ease.

The Story of the Wind and MeAdo

The Story of the Wind and Me [Ado]

It’s the theme song for the film “The Silent Service: Great Naval Battle in the Arctic Ocean,” released on September 26, 2025—a very lavish track with lyrics and composition by Hiroji Miyamoto and arrangement by Mafumafu! When I listened to it, I immediately thought, “This is so Miyamoto Hiroji!” With this song, you can enjoy Ado’s lower register and falsetto more than her high notes and shouts, so it’s a great pick for those who want to sing in a calmer style.

You don’t need to focus too much on Ado’s signature powerful delivery; singing naturally and smoothly will still sound beautiful.

Even the high notes in the chorus that are in chest voice seem fine to sing in falsetto.

Whether you’re better at low notes or high notes, you can bring out your strengths, so definitely give it a try and learn it.

CAT’S EYEAdo

【Ado】CAT’S EYE（Official Audio）

Singer Ado captivates listeners with her powerful vocals and richly emotive delivery.

Released in September 2025, this work is a cover of the classic hit that Anri sang to great success in 1983.

It was selected as the ending theme for the completely new 2025 anime series Cat’s Eye.

Yuki Hayashi brilliantly reconstructs the original’s glamorous 1980s city-pop sound with a modern arrangement.

Paying respect to the original, Ado channels the vocal style of the era while fusing it with her own signature sharpness and expressive power.

Her voice renders the image of a phantom thief prowling the night city as both thrilling and glamorous.

It’s a superb pop tune where nostalgia and novelty intersect.

Love me, love me, love meAdo

[LIVE Footage] Love me, love me, love me PEACOCK THEATER Los Angeles, CA 2024.3.29 [Ado]

This is a song by Ado packed to the brim with the aching desire to be loved.

The protagonist’s plea—“I’ll be good, so please don’t abandon me”—pierces the hearts of anyone who longs to be acknowledged.

Ado’s chameleonic vocals brilliantly capture the danger and fragility contained within pure, unadulterated love.

This work is a cover of a song by Vocaloid producer Kikuo, first performed on the December 2023 album “Ado no Utattemita Album,” and later included on the acclaimed “Ado no Best Adobumu.” If your wish to be loved is so strong that it fills you with anxiety, this song will stay close to your heart.

whereabouts unknownAdo

[Ado] Whereabouts Unknown

This is Ado’s 18th single in total, written and composed by Ringo Sheena, released in October 2022.

It was written as the theme song for the horror film “Karada Sagashi.” The song is infused with a unique, high-strung energy that feels like a true “clash of personalities” between Sheena, who penned it, and Ado, who performs it.

You can probably tell at first listen that this track is quite a formidable challenge to sing at karaoke.

It showcases truly protean vocals—from gentle falsetto to fierce, almost screaming delivery—and I imagine many listeners were shocked the first time they heard it.

But this is only possible because Ado has mastered solid vocal technique, so please don’t overexert yourselves when you try to sing it.

In the sections that call for a screaming style, do your best to avoid putting strain on your throat.

MIRRORAdo

【Ado】MIRROR

It’s a cool track where a funky bassline takes the lead, and its danceable, stylish groove brings out a new side of Ado! “MIRROR,” released in May 2024, is a song by Ado provided by Natori, a popular singer-songwriter who happens to be the same age as Ado.

Its sense of rhythm and melody line differ somewhat from typical J-pop and aren’t exactly easy, but once you lock into the groove of the track, you might be surprised at how well you can sing it.

In the restrained first half, try to keep it from sounding too plain by channeling Ado’s sultry nuance.

If you nail the key change right before the final chorus and the powerful falsetto, you’ll be the star of that day’s karaoke session!
