New EraAdo

[Ado] New Genesis (Uta from ONE PIECE FILM RED)

Ado’s song “New Genesis,” with its story-like lyrics, is a track that’s often used at school sports festivals.

In the chorus, raise your hands energetically and use your whole body to express yourself, conveying the image of opening up a new era with bold movements.

When performing a mass game with a large group, keeping the choreography simple in the chorus makes it easier to synchronize and creates a sense of unity in the dance.

For practice, it’s recommended to break the routine into sections, and once you get used to it, start incorporating formation changes and other transitions.
