Rapper Reacts to ADO for the FIRST TIME! (ODO, Usseewa, Gira Gira) 

Will be continuing checking out ADO on my main channel! youtube.com/@anthonytoo ~!

Since I didnt find a comment already mentioning it. Usseewa is not only her most popular song because of it’s blatant reject of current Japanese work culture that resonates with younger audiences, but its also her first song and was released when she turned 17.

I love how you actually pay attention to the lyrics and comment on them! Ussewa is actually “controversial” in Japan… I include quotes because the only people who don’t like it is the older generation lol. The younger gen definitely agrees

To me Gira gira has some genius lyricism, in the begining she sing "Ugly, honestly my face is like god’s painting using left hand", and in the bridge she sings "If God is left-handed, I can’t imagine how happy I’ll be", this had imediatte impact on me.

Useewa is actually her debut song, its also one of her most popular songs. She sang that at 17. How can we not stan such a talented queen

Odo is the most stacked JPOP song in a while. Having big names in the credits, and of course, Ado.

Ado is what is called an utaite (vocaloid cover artist) in Japan. She started her career at 14 posting covers of popular vocaloid songs onto RU-vid and a Japanese site called nico nico, now many of the artists she used to cover write music for her. Any ado cover or original on her RU-vid channel is great, if you want more similar music if you look up the producers who wrote her songs you can find way more music that is just as good but lacks ado’s amazing voice. One of Ado’s major influences is Sheena Ringo, an artist very popular in the early 2000s, and has quite a similar sound to her music and voice. My favourite ado video has to be ado’s cover of crime and punishment by Sheena ringo.

Ado is peak music. You physically can't get better than this.

She only does the vocals, but part of the reason it sounds so crazy is because most of these songs are written for Vocaloid software, for a computer to sing, and so they have really crazy note and voice shifts that aren't normally done by humans because they're hard to pull off, and she's able to sing those shifts so it sounds really impressive. For example the chorus of Usseewa has ridiculous shifts between deep and head voices that are really tough to do over and over like that, but she's able to do it and it sounds really good.

Ado’s vocal control, *chef’s kiss*!! On that note, recommending Minami, with her most popular song being “Crying for Rain”.

Ado is 20 years old. She skyrocketed to fame in asia after her first Original song called Usseewa in 2020. (which is slang for shut up.) It was released a day before her 18th birthday.

Usseewa was crazy controversial in Japan. While it was incredibly loved by young people (even being called the 2021 youth anthem) she got a lot of hate from the older generation for the lyrics, parents would publicly ask for this shit to be straight up banned because they were worried about its effect on children looooooool. I believe she was 18 when this song was made.

i was SO upset of the people in my cinema theater saying there was too much singing because I KNEW I RECOGNIZED HER VOICE AND I WAS SHOCKED TO HEAR ADO...literally love her she's my wife bye

when you said your not a violent person but would go after the ppl who said there were too much songs in the film and bs like that, I FELT THAT. I FELT THAT SO MUCH. WHOLEHEARTEDLY AND ABSOLUTELY, A G R E E D. ALSO PLEASE, U GOTTA REACT TO THESE: Her cover of Crime and punishment (this one is literally so insane, WHAT) ASHURA-CHAN Rebellion

I hope Syudou gets the appreciation he deserves for his lyrics on this song and his melody. Ados voice really just completes it. Syudou always writes meaningful songs. Please check out his song Bakushou or The back door which was recently used by the chainsaw man anime! But congratulations to these both! they are my top artists!

Fun fact! All of the producers for these songs are established vocaloid producers! Ado is an established utaite (someone who covers songs, vocaloid especially) and so many producers collabing with her is amazing! For a few recs for the other producers: Giga produced Odo, and has a rin/len version of that song which is really phenomenal, for a different song with a similar vibe though I'd reccommend Bring It On. Syudou produced Ussewa, and he's definitely ome of my favorite producers atm lol. For songs of his I'd recommend, Bitter Choco Decoration and Bakushou are amazing! He also did one of the endings to chainsaw man, which he also sang, so you'll get to hear that soon. Finally, Teniwoha produced Gira Gira, and for him I'd definitely have to recommend Villain! It's one of my favorite vocaloid songs hand down. I'd also recommend other utaites such as Mafumafu, Miyashita Yuu and Chogakusei!

Reol would be a similar utaite who blew up into being a pro singer, but several years ago, and is a super talented singer. She was producing vocaloid songs as a lyricist before actually singing them herself. Went from being too embarrassed to upload her singing to being a pro doing live tours and putting on a huge stage persona. It's funny to think she used to stream minecraft and chat about new vocaloid songs on her channel that's an official music one now.

Odo and Ussewa have music videos like Gira Gira, they're worth watching even after knowing the lyrics. My favorite phrase in Gira Gira is "how happy I'd be if God was left-handed", it packs a real punch with the precedent of 'god painted with it's off-hand' (assuming god is right handed). It makes me cry everytime. Ado released Ussewa when she was in highschool, she's something else

Her voice in her cover of Crime and Punishment is absolutely INSANE!! I highly recommend listening to it and pulling up the lyrics bc it just THAT good!!

ODO is my favorite song from her. It's SO DYNAMIC AND POWERFUL AND EXTREMELY HARD TO SING

You're the first reactor I've seen who's payed this much attention to her lyrics. I commend you for that. Next time, try listening to her Crime & Punishment cover and her Basket Worm cover. The former is heavy rock that involves screaming, and the latter has a sort of reggae swing to it. Even thought these genres are so far from each other, it just shows how versatile Ado's voice is

In addition to forgetting to post this video, I forgot to light my lighter for all these smash hits ADO showed me today. Absolutely incredible songs! EDIT: It's been 6 months but i finally posted another video checking out more ADO! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1l36dzxjXtI.html

HER MUSIC IS AMAZING IM SUCH A HUGE FAN!!! IM SO GLAD YOU REACTED TO HER

So glad more people are recognizing Ado. My first experience with Ado was when a manga character was singing Usseewa. I would love to see you react to some of her other songs specifically Godish and other vocaloid covers of hers

She's literally the first vocalist I'm genuinly excited about, I usually only listen to Dubstep and other heavie electronic music without any lyrics, but that rage just hits me differently then any popstar or metal growl ever has. Also, I have like no attentionspan and her constant switchup of vocal technique is genuinly engaging.

She didn't write her songs but she delivers songs emotions best way I have ever heard she is ethereal

She just had a live concert if you wanted to check out the live version on yt of Odo it's visceral and beautiful, don't know how else to describe it

One of my favorite songs by ado is "Ashura-Chan" again, the vocals are so powerful and just amazing and "Osmanthus" is more of a calm song but also beautiful performance

Check out Readymade if you want to see Ado doing sort of electroswing with a strange baseball motif going off in the background. Missing is also great! I'm sure you caught all the fantastic lyrics in Gira Gira, like "I shine and swallow the dark of the night" and "Loneliness is my gasoline" and she acknowledges she cannot remain the way she has been and has to grow and shine on!

Readymade, Bocca della Verità, 乙女解剖 (Otome Kaibou), and her God-ish cover are also amazing

She's one of my favourite artists of this century, definitely will have pages in my memory for her.

I think everyone should watch the music videos that go with these songs because they are just as AMAZING as the songs.

I will listen to all of her songs 24/7 from now on. 🙏💯

Im such a big fan of Ado and glad you did a reaction to her! I recommend her songs "Readymade", "Motherland", and definitely "Eien No Akuruhi"

now THIS is a professional way of reacting to video, actually reading the lyrics, listening to how she expresses the lyrics and the way she sings most of the reaction vids I saw was just them vibing to the song not knowing what the singer is even saying, someone even thought Gira Gira was an upbeat song

Truely agree with you, ado has the best written songs! They has a VERY deep message, but it's covered under this cool beat, that can attreact everyone, she can sing every music genre! Her voice abillities are much over every single singer I know, not only japanese. I'm so glad that toei animations took her to be uta in film red, it helped me know her, cuz i didn't just stay on the movie songs (which were awsome), i looked some more on her channel, and realized a huge singer!

I need to comment because Ado is literally so talented. Please check out ado and miku's song bc her vocals in that literally wow. I had that song playing on repeat for months. I would also like to recommend crime and punishment because she just hits you immediately with the vocals and I literally screamed when I heard it the first time, literal chills

loved your reaction we can see your emotions coming out to it and its great!

Nice reaction. Ado is an amazing singer. If you like her growl and powerful voice the best thing you can get recommended is her cover of "Crime & Punishment". It's completely insane, check it out if you can

oh my god ado is such a big idol of mine THIS VIDEO MAKES ME SO HAPPY!! i was freaking out with you lmaoo

Thank you for the video on Ado. For a long time I wished she would become recognized, from her Vocaloid covers I listened long ago, and now she is all over, and she deserves it. She cooperates with incredible composers and people in the community like Giga, Syudou, and more. Syudou's composition and edgy style on Usseewa is one of the biggest parts of it besides her amazing voice. The Vocaloid community and Ado created a powerful killer force. Both her "rage" songs and "gentle" songs are incredible...

Hey man, Ado has SUCH a large catalogue of INSANE songs, even not on her own albums. "Love Ka?" is insane! She also has a playlist of cover songs on her Channel, most of which are gold! Go to the playlist that's called 歌いました (literally Tried to Sing) My favorite song of her Album has to be ラッキーブルート (Lucky Brute) and I won't spoil the song, just listen and get blown away.

I just want to mention, I really appreciate that you are not just a reactor, and are actually cutting parts out as not to just have the entire song as well as going back and relistening to sections

heyo just found you from some youtube recommendations ;p gira gira is one of my favorite songs. I think people already said she doesn't write, but what I love about her is she paints her own story in the music with her voice. She's not the only singer that can do this also but she's definitely my favorite one that can. Every song brings a different emotion to it because of how she styles it. I'm sure you already know this cause of seeing film Red (unfortunately I haven't seen it yet). I would recommend giving the cover of God-Ish by Ado a listen, as well as Love me, Love me, Love me by Miori Celesta, and then there's Trash Panda a small metal group. I honestly could give a million more ado suggestions, but anyways. Enjoyed your commentary :D

I love the strong reactions, the lyrics analyzing, the re listening making sure you point things out or emphasize, and just vibing. Love Ado and this reaction vid. ❤

if you want to know more about Ado there is a very good video called "A helpful guide to Ado"

her cover of crime and punishment bangs so hard pls listen to it

YASSS SHE DESERVES MORE ATTENTION ! HER RANGE IS ACTUALLY INSANE

If you wanna listen to more performances of her, I can very much recommend Tokyo Cannibalism and Eat. They're not on her channel, but I'm super impressed by her performances in those songs. Usseewa was her professional debut song btw, after being signed with Universal Music

She doesn't write her lyrics, but she does chose the lyrics she resonates with.

There is also Backlight from the film, Crime and Punishment (cover), god-ish (cover)

If you liked the sound of her rapping I would recommend her song Ashura-chan and if you really want to be wowed by her vocal talent check out 神っぽいな 歌いました I’ve been an Ado fan for a while glad that the rest of the world is starting to notice her voice.

i saw "reacting to ADO" and had to click because i fucking LOVE Ado's work (Useewa was how i found her and i grew obsessed)

I love when people get so excited about Ado's music, it's so good ❤️

Bro I only knew ados ussewa from ColorfulStage I didn’t know her music was this much of a bop 😭

ADO IS AMAZING!!! Every single song she sings is like INSANE!! If you heard her sing God-ish, you realise her vocal range is good!! LITERALLY, God-ish sounds like multiple people sang it when it's only her???? HER VOICE IS ALSO SO UNIQUE. Personally, my favourite song is eien no akuruhi/eternal coming day since its such a drastic difference to most of her popular songs like ashura-chan and usseewa. It's so heartbreaking and the emotion on her voice is just so raw(?) LIKE YOU CAN FEEL IT IN YOUR HEART. I cannot stress enough of the fact that Ado's voice is super unique and strong. Usseewa is based off of like the work-ethic in Japan. How even though you were the best in your class/school, you'll still be an offica worker like the rest. I think Odo is similar? Most of the songs have quite similar meanings. Ashura-chan is about how people lie on the internet and are always doing it for the money. Gira gira is about how the person is insecure on how they look, saying that its unfair and that they cannot find love in that way. "Made by gods left-hand" can portray that since its the non-dominant hand. But then it eventually turns to be that the person accepts their flaws as how they are. "If I find, God's a lefty I can't say how happy I'd be" it shows that she realises that God made her that way and she accepts her flaws and eventually becomes more confident and doesn't care about what people say about her. In that moment of the mv, she is seen holding a hammer and smashing statues which represents how she doesn't care anymore.

I was so excited when I heard Ado was in Film Red. I'm so proud of her and so glad she's getting more recognition.

One more song that I absolutely and 100% recommend is "Readymade". Its the second Ado song I´ve listened to after Usseewa, and its a banger.

The SHEER versatility Ado can make with her voice makes her one of my favourite artists.

I Love Ado, AND SHE'S ONLY 19!!!! Crazy right? Glad you reacted to her

聴いてくれてありがとうございます！ADOは絵のイラストや声のコントロールが凄いです！去年二十歳になったばかりでうっせぇわの曲はデビューで17歳の最後と聞いてビックリです！リベリオンと神っぽいなを聴いてください！

I swear, this album is INCREDIBLE. This shit is whole another level, the production, her voice, the whole freaking thing is literally unbelievably good. Thanks for the video, you seem very nice ;p

i absolutely adore ado, her voice is absolutely amazing!! another artist i suggest you listen to is miyashita yuu, he’s one of my favorites and has incredible range (and he’s self taught to boot)

readymade is another great one, and the MVs really add to her songs

I suggest listening to these other songs on her channel if you're doing a part two "Ashura-Chan" "ラブカ?" "神っぽいな 歌いました" all three showcase further how varied her voice can be and how skillful she is at manipulating it

I highly recommend her song Ready Made. It's one of the more popular ones for sure and showcases yet another different kind of sound.

when I was listening to Gira Gira, i groove and just dance around while reading the lyrics translation. When the music stop, took me a minute to process everything that I just heard and almost teared up when I realize how relatable it is lol

Thats my countrys singer for you. ADO IS AMAZING. Thanks for the review (:

Gira Gira is my favorite song of hers all her songs are just so well made even the one piece ones she's just insanely talented

Ado is an amazing singer, I love how all her songs have a different genre and her insane vocal range. If I had to recommend other songs for you to react, it would definitely be Readymade and Ashura-Chan

Glad I'm not the only one who became a massive Ado fan after flim Red

thank you, thank you, thank you so much for reacting to Ado❤

So glad she’s finally getting the recognition she deserves, one of my favorite artists since watching that mf movie

his reaction when first time hearing Odo is exactly the same like me

The fact she is 19 AND MY FAV ARTIST

I love crime & Punishment from ado. It's just so gooooood

Ado reaction?! lets gooo

i am in live with odo, i have been listening on repeat for hours

Please check out “missing”, Odo (live performance), God-ish & ussewa (piano version) they all show Ado’s insanse vocal range ❤❤❤. Also these are some of Ado songs that are really good but aren’t on her channel, “Osmanthus” & “Freudmeta”.

Another one of my favourite songs from her is called readymade

tot musica.. im in love with it

Ado is like a storm in Japanese music, and she is only 20 years old.

DUDE PLS DONT STOP THESE REACTIONS! If I may recommend some... Fleeting Lullaby, SteadyMade and Tot Musica from her, are absolutely insane! My favorites btw... From Brazil here but already a big fan, love your comments and the video itself! Keep up plsssss

bro u makin me love her more

I died when you said “ooseewah” 😂 amazing songs

You should react to Ado’s live performance of Odo. It’s absolutely incredible!!!

I recommend you."永遠のあくる日(Eien no Akuru Hi)", which means "Eternal Tomorrow" This is the answer song for Gira Gira & I personally love her cover of "罪と罰", which means "Crime and Sin" The original is by Ringo Shiina, one of queens of J-POP I'm sure you'll be definitely blown away

We're the same! I knew her songs from One Piece Film Red, and now I'm addicted to her other songs too 😍

A little bit of background about the lines “Pour drinks when glasses are empty/take off the skewer so it’s easier for everyone to eat” in Usseewa: In places like Japan and Korea, the work culture pressures workers to go out with their coworkers and bosses to drink after work often (even if they have work the next day and are expected to come in). Not drinking/denying going out drinking is considered disrespectful (although declining is more common and accepted now in Japan)

This is the first react of Ado that the listener paid close attention to the lyrics. I loved your vid! I would say to listen to Motherland, but I'm not sure if there's translation to the lyrics of that beautiful song. So instead, I'll recommend "yoru no pierrot" (夜のピエロ). It's an original of hers and I love not only the melody but the lyrics. If you listen, I hope you like it! Thank you for the amazing reaction! ❤

She has so many great originals/covers but I recommend her "Crime and Punishment"

My favourite songs of her are shikabanese in collaboration with Jon yakitori, her kamippoina cover and ready made they are the best I’m glad ado is getting more recognition around here

Ado has such amazing vocal control I love hearing her music every time. I'd be interested in hearing your opinions on Tsukuyomi - Sing the moon and Tsukuyomi - Mayday definitely not as strong as Ado but very pretty songs that tell their own stories.

im listening to ado way back then im really shock when ado will sing for one piece red im so proud of her

im new here, i really enjoyed ur react videos. keep it up bruh!

Crime and punishment is probebly the song where she flexes her skill the most, my favorite.

I’d recommend her cover of Crime and Punishment.

love ur reaction bro, pls do more reaction of Ado's song or her cover

What you said about finding that one person who dissed the amount of singing in the movie, I did the same thing when someone dissed it in my theater

ado is queen material and we would all die for her
