Ado's Utattemita Album (Adoの歌ってみたアルバム, Ado no Utattemita Arubamu, lit.'Ado's tried-to-sing album') is a compilation album by Japanese singer Ado, released on December 13, 2023, via Virgin Music. Announced on September 15, 2023, the album features various Vocaloid and J-pop songs fans voted on for her to cover.

Background

[edit]

Ado has released multiple cover songs exclusively on her YouTube channel. In May 2022, her management team held a poll on social media for fans to select songs for her to cover. Out of 10,000 votes, PinocchioP's "Kamippoi na" and Ringo Sheena's "Crime and Punishment" were the most voted.[2] Both covers were released via YouTube on July 24, 2022. Her cover of Sheena's "Crime and Punishment" amassed over eight million views. In March 2023, another poll was run on social media by Ado's management regarding what songs fans wanted for her to cover on an album.[3]

In September 2023, Universal Music Japan announced Ado would be releasing her first "utattemita album". A 15-second teaser was released on YouTube, along with limited edition bonus goods being announced to be included at select Japanese retailers.[4][5] Six of ten confirmed songs were originally announced, including "Crime and Punishment", "Unravel" by Toru Kitajima, and "Villain" by Teniwoha.[6][7] In October, the full track listing was revealed.[8]
