Ado
Ado, a 22-year-old utaite, burst onto the music scene in 2020 with her major debut single "Usseewa," which quickly became a cultural phenomenon.

ATARASHII GAKKO!
Self-proclaimed "Youth Representative of Japan," they've captured attention with their powerful dance performances and live shows, where every piece of choreography is created by the members themselves. Debuting globally in 2021 under 88rising, a label that promotes Asian culture worldwide, their track "Otona Blue" went viral on TikTok, amassing over 3.3 billion views and 15 million+ followers across social media. In 2023, they performed at NHK's Kouhaku Uta Gassen, and in 2024, they headlined the Gobi Stage at Coachella for two consecutive weeks. Additionally, they successfully completed a world tour, drawing a total of 110,000 fans across 26 cities worldwide and 7 cities in Japan, continuing to make waves both domestically and internationally.
YOASOBI
"YOASOBI is a unit that turns novels into music, consisting of composer Ayase and vocalist ikura. Their debut song, Yoru ni Kakeru (Into The Night), released in November 2019, has now streamed more than 1.1 billion times—the first ever in Japan's history. In April 2023, their release Idol topped major global charts, including the Billboard Global Excl. U.S. and Apple Music's Top 100: Global, setting groundbreaking records in J-POP history.
Domestically, they successfully completed their first-ever dome tour in the fall of 2024.
