One Piece Film Red Singer Ado Will Perform London Concert in March 2024

The singer Ado, who performed all of the character Uta's songs in One Piece Film Red (pictured right), will embark on a tour of Asia, Europe and America in 2024. The tour, called "Wish," will include a concert in London on Wednesday March 13 2024. The venue will be the Troxy venue near Limehouse station (directions). This is a 14+ event.

Crunchyroll will begin a presale for the performance on Monday December 11 at 3 p.m. The code for this presale will be made available exclusively on Crunchyroll News.

The tickets will subsequently go on general sale on Friday December 15 at 3 p.m.

Ado was Uta's singing voice in One Piece Film Red - the character's speaking voice in Japanese was by Kaori Nazuka. More recently, Ado performed the opening song for the second TV season of SPY x FAMILY, called "Kura Kura" ("Dizzy").

Ado's career began as an online "utaite" singer on Japan's niconico website. In 2020, she released the song "Ussewa," which currently has more than 300 million views on YouTube.

To date, Ado has never revealed her face, even in her live concert "appearances" where she is silhouetted in shadow, and shares the stage with her anime avatars. The video below, released on the singer's official YouTube channel, was taken from her concert at the Nippon Budokan in August 2023.

“New Genesis” was number one on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 chart for six consecutive weeks. It also was the first Japanese song to reach number one on Apple Music's Top 100: Global Chart.
