\n\tThe 23-year-old singer \u2014 who refers to herself as an \u201cUtaite,\u201d a Japanese word for a typically amateur singer who uses an avatar to post song covers online \u2014 shot to the top of music charts in her home country when she was just a teenager. She remains one of Japan\u2019s biggest artists. <\/p>\n

\n\tAdo has toured globally more than once, remaining one of the only J-pop acts to consistently promote in the U.S. Last year, her 34-date Hibana tour drew more than 500,000 fans across five continents, according to a release. She sold out the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles and New Jesery\u2019s Prudential Center.<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier this year, Ado headlined a new music festival, Zipangu, in L.A., which was the largest J-pop festival in North America. The event was put on by her management, Cloud Nine, and Goldenvoice. She\u2019s slated to appear at Lollpalooza in Chicago later this summer.<\/p>\n

\n\tDomestically, she\u2019s performed at Japan\u2019s National Stadium, which holds over 60,000 fans, and is scheduled to hold two shows at the stadium next month. She\u2019ll then headline Japan\u2019s Summer Sonic music festival in August, becoming the first female solo artist to do so.<\/p>\n

\n\tEarlier this year, Ado released \u201cVivarium,\u201d a self-written song that draw inspiration from author Narumi Komatsu\u2019s biography of the singer, Vivarium: Ado and Me<\/em>. The book, released only in Japanese, features in-depth interviews with the musician that were conducted over three years. <\/p>\n

\n\tThe music video for \u201cVivarium\u201d marked the first live-action music video for the singer and the first time that Ado herself has appeared in a video. The singer, however, is never seen head-on, mostly shown in shadow or in fast glimpses from different angles.<\/p>\n

\n\tNext, Ado\u2019s set to release \u201cMonstruo,\u201d the theme song for the live-action adaptation of popular Japanese soccer manga, Blue Lock<\/em>. The film is set to open Aug. 7 in Japan.<\/p>\n

\n\tWME and Ado working together marks the talent agency\u2019s second major signing of J-pop talent this year. Japan \u2014 the second largest music market in the world behind the U.S. \u2014 has begun pushing artists globally in the last few years, marking a distinct shift for an industry previously focused on domestic promotion. Ado and WME\u2019s earlier signing, trio Number_i, are among the artists leading the charge of J-pop\u2019s globalization. <\/p>\n
