Ado has announced ‘Ado’s Utattemita Album 2’, the second installment of her fan-requested covers album series, set for release on Wednesday, December 23, 2026.
Created from song requests submitted by fans around the world, ‘Ado’s Utattemita Album 2’ will feature Ado’s interpretations of Vocaloid, J-Pop and international songs, showcasing her powerful vocals and expressive range across genres and borders.
The album follows 2023’s ‘Ado’s Utattemita Album’. In the years since, Ado has continued to expand her global presence, embarking on one of the largest world tours ever undertaken by a Japanese artist and performing at major venues in Japan, including Tokyo Dome, Japan National Stadium (now MUFG Stadium) and Nissan Stadium, and in the United States, including the Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles and Prudential Center in Newark and at Lollapalooza.
Among the confirmed tracks are “Kawaki wo Ameku” by Minami, which ranked highly in a social media fan poll asking which songs listeners wanted Ado to cover, and “Unknown Mother-Goose,” written and composed by wowaka. The album will also include “Mousou Shikkan Yami Girl,” the 2014 Vocaloid song written and composed by Moja; “Kuchibashi ni Cherry,”originally released by EGO-WRAPPIN’ in 2002 and previously performed by Ado before her debut as part of a record-label assignment; and Metallica’s “Enter Sandman,” which Ado covered live at SUMMER SONIC 2026.
The album will be available in two physical editions: a Limited Acrylic Stand Edition, which includes a CD, original acrylic stand and sticker, and a Standard Edition. Retailer-specific purchase bonuses will also be available while supplies last, with overseas customers able to order through Ado Official Music Shop. The full track list will be revealed at a later date.
