Life and music career

Early life and musical beginnings: 2014–2020

In 2014, Ado took an interest in music after the video-sharing website Niconico was released on Nintendo 3DS. She began watching videos on the small screen of Nintendo 3DS, and was impressed by the cover singers on Niconico who sang without showing their faces.[7]

Years later in 2017, Ado began singing as an utaite (an internet cover singer) on Niconico, after uploading a video of herself singing a cover of "Kimi no taion" on January 10, 2017.[8] On Nippon TV she said that during the time she was an utaite singer, she covered her closet in soundproofing material that she bought online and recorded in it.[9]

In 2019, she featured in Kujira's digital single "Kinmokusei", which was released on December 23, 2019.[10] A couple months later, she featured as a vocalist in a digital single "Shikabanēze" by jon-YAKITORY, which was released on March 29, 2020.[11] In May 2020, she participated in Pony Canyon's compilation album PALETTE4.
