Bio : Zipangu
Ado
A 23-year-old singer who made her major debut in 2020 with the explosive hit Usseewa, a song that became a social phenomenon. Her first album Kyougen which she released in January of 2022, along with UTA’S SONGS ONE PIECE FILM RED—which features seven tracks she performed as both theme and in-film songs for ONE PIECE FILM RED—topped the charts and became long-running hits.
In February 2024, Ado embarked on her first-ever world tour Wish, and in April, she performed two consecutive shows at Japan National Stadium—making her the first female solo artist ever to hold a solo concert there.
Celebrating the 5th anniversary of her major debut in 2025, she released her first compilation album Ado’s Best Adobum and launched her second world tour, Ado WORLD TOUR 2025 “Hibana” Powered by Crunchyroll. Continuing her momentum, she is set to hold the Ado DOME TOUR 2025 “Yodaka” in November.
ATARASHI GAKKO!
Known as “ Youth Representatives of Japan,” ATARASHII GAKKO! Made their global debut in 2021 under 88rising, gaining attention for their high-energy performances and original choreography created by the members themselves. In 2024, they performed solo at Coachella and embarked on a world tour across 33 cities, including seven in Japan, attracting a total of over 110,000 attendees.

CHANMINA
A self-made artist who writes, composes, produces, and directs every aspect of her work — from tracks to stage performance.
Her total views on YouTube are approaching one billion, earning massive support for her empowering messages and dynamic artistry.
In 2024, she gave birth to her first child. The following year, she joined forces with BMSG as the producer of the all-girl audition project “No No Girls”, later leading the debut of the project’s girl group HANA in 2025. Expanding her creative reach beyond her own music, she continues to redefine what it means to be an artist.
Born in 1998 to a Korean mother and Japanese father, CHANMINA spent her childhood moving between Korea, Japan, and the U.S., cultivating a truly global sensibility.
Every song she creates draws from her real-life experiences — a reflection of her raw emotions and her uncompromising approach to self-expression.
Though she began her career as a rapper, her sound transcends genres and borders, shaped by her unique cultural background. She rejects binary labels — “Is it HIPHOP or POP? Is she Korean or Japanese?” — and instead channels that inner conflict into her music.
Her brutally honest lyrics and personal storytelling resonate deeply with younger generations, earning her a reputation as one of the most “real” voices of her era.
Through standout tracks such as “美人 (Bijin)” and “NG”, she became one of the first artists in Japan to openly confront lookism and the biases surrounding female image and identity.
