Ado and ORIHARA: Their Encounter
Ado, who is now dominating not only Japan's music scene but also the world, has a fascinating story. We have investigated the journey from the encounter between Ado and ORIHARA to the present. Their meeting occurred before Ado's debut when she was working independently. During this time, fan art culture was well-established, and ORIHARA created a piece of fan art (known as Adoart) and posted it on X (formerly Twitter). A few months after he first drew the fan art, Ado started using ORIHARA's illustration as her icon, and ORIHARA said, "I was very happy that she liked it so much."
