MAGICAdo

Continuing to captivate anime fans across borders, Ado’s track was released in October 2025 as the opening theme for Cat’s Eye.

Created through her first collaboration with Vocaloid producer Tsumiki, the song is a catchy, cleverly intricate dance number where the urbane image of the original 1980s work intersects with a modern Reiwa-era sound.

The lyrics weave in motifs such as “deception,” “truth,” and “steal,” symbolizing the cat-burglar trio’s gamesmanship and duality, while Ado’s shape-shifting vocals unfold over a driving beat.

The music video, set in a casino, visualizes the tension of high-stakes gambles and a spellbinding sense of allure.

It’s a perfect pick for those who want to immerse themselves in a stylish anime world or who love energetic dance tracks.

This track, defined by its exhilarating performance and straight-ahead punk beat, appears as the second song on the album “Honesty,” released in January 2017.

Through repeated experiences of hitting a wall, it sings about the importance of accepting yourself as you are, with lyrics that honestly lay bare inner struggles while encouraging friends—an impression that really stands out.

The official music video was shot in a single take with a goofy concept, making for an interesting contrast with the serious lyrics.

It’s a song I’d love people to hear when they’re trying to move forward despite doubt and anxiety.

Mind Games feat. HEY-SMITHSHANK

Overflowing with a sense of speed, this melodic punk track is brought to life with vibrant horn arrangements by HEY-SMITH and is included on the album STEADY, released in January 2022.

Its English lyrics depict the mind games and inner conflicts that unfold in relationships and within oneself.

Because it was written during the challenging COVID-19 era, its message carries real weight.

At the Nagoya and Osaka dates of the STEADY TOUR 2022, Osaka rock band HEY-SMITH joined as special guests, delivering a fiery performance with their horn section.

It’s a song that gives you a push forward when you need the courage to face everyday struggles.
