[Ado] Fireworks

A much-anticipated track from Reiwa-era songstress Ado’s first album, “Kyogen.” The lyrics and composition are by Kujira, who has also written songs for DISH// and SixTONES.

Her vocal delivery here differs from Ado’s usual shout-forward style, revealing a new side of her.

With Ado showing a different face in each song, she’s becoming all the more intriguing.

The fireworks that appear in the chorus seem to serve as a metaphor for the helplessness and impatience that linger in the hearts of young people.

It’s a song you’ll want to listen to quietly on your own while watching distant fireworks light up the sky.
