The Emotional Story behind Ado and Miku's Collaboration

[@Kushunjpop]

Two things I didn’t mention: 1) Miku sounds sooo good! 2) "Shoka" has the same arranger as Bocchi the Rock

[@raxkhmanLite]

Indeed Miku sounds so good! Mitchie M’s tuning is one of my favorites 😤

[@Babus33-kk9pe]

''shoka have the same arranger as bocchi the rock" that is surprise me

[@solarmoth4628]

Thank you! I’m so glad Ado got to realize her dream of singing with Miku. She seems like such a genuine person.

[@Kushunjpop]

Exactly! Love her music but what really makes me a fan is how authentic she is, such a rare quality.

[@DRKSTARakaAstrogabe]

I’m so incredibly happy for Ado. She got to perform with her inspiration after becoming an inspiration herself for so many others😭

[@Kushunjpop]

@@DRKSTARakaAstrogabe Someday down the line we'll likely see a Ado fan singing with her!

[@lanblu_lu]

Imagine singing a song written by one of your biggest inspirations, and sing it with your other biggest idols. As a fan of, Ado, Miku and Mafumafu, I loved this song, I love everything about it. I hope that Ado keeps growing as a person and a singer

[@Kushunjpop]

@@lanblu_lu I literally made a video about it but you pointing it out still makes me so happy💙

[@nx_]

I once saw a clip of ado saying that her biggest hater is ado herself which I thought at the time was just a way of joking or being humble about her performance but after listening to shoka and gira gira it hit me , she was never comfortable about herself all this time and she still is somewhat despite her meteoric success and fame. I hope that one day she'll be able to love herself and express it through her music to let her fans know how she truly feels towards herself.

[@Kushunjpop]

@@nx_ I'm gonna cry again when the day comes, also being able to express how she really feels about herself is so courageous

[@duekaslana246]

Reminds me of her cringing at her first performance

[@ZackMako]

Ado....People thinks she is an angel but she is just an ordinary girl who suffered like me and many other people. But i am so proud of her for expressing all her feelings in those 2 songs 💜 Happy Late Birthday to our girl 🙏 Side note but this is a really well-made video especially cause i missed some details in her Sakura Biyori mv. Side note pt2: Tuki just became the youngest artist in Spotify Japan history to get over 100M streams on a song (Bansanka) (idk if she is the youngest person to reach this milestone in the entire world but who knows)

[@Kushunjpop]

@@ZackMako Thank you for the comment! I think she being an ordinary girl is exactly why she's the most popular solo artist out there❤️ Funny enough I just finished writing the script for my next video, which is about tuki and Bansanka😂 Although I think it's worldwide but knowing Japanese media it may very well be within Japan🤷‍♂️

[@ZackMako]

@Kushunjpop OMG SO EXCITED TO CHECK OUT THE TUKI VIDEO 🔥

[@TheReal_Bis]

she also announced her 2025 "Hibana" world tour!

[@damndonnie2527]

I like your perception of the song and after listening to Shoka and Sakura Biyori and Time Machine, I can see how amazing the songs go to explain each other. Also, I never noticed the small cry Ado had in the live performance until now. I genuinely made me tear up while listening to it and glad she got to sing with her biggest idol.

[@Kushunjpop]

@@damndonnie2527 Everytime I listen to it I can hear her cry🥲 Same, just so happy for her!

[@LuxArnn]

When I saw I relate with ado more than ever is an understatement. I would want her to move forward more than anything and she’s saved her life. It’s the only thing I really want from her.

[@Kushunjpop]

@@LuxArnn You know the artists is special when all her fans want is for her to be happy💙

[@LuxArnn]

@ she means so much to me but I’m so upset she would never know

[@Kushunjpop]

I'm sure even not individually, she knows what she means to us is like how Miku means to her.

[@kateisonlinenow1065]

Shoka resonates a lot with me, it made me happy knowing that I’m not alone with a low self esteem, where someone as amazing as Ado struggle with that too. She mentioned about the song can’t save anyone but it has become something like a medicine for me, thankyou ado!

[@themelancholyofgay3543]

I forgot Mafumafu is so old... Ado visited mafu's concert when she's 14 and now... she's 22!

[@Kushunjpop]

@@themelancholyofgay3543 I wouldn't call him old...just Ado started really young😂

[@iamnobody350]

i mean Ado making original songs when she was 16... it's a 2 year difference

[@mihchin]

the performance with hatsune miku made me cry

[@aagodzilla]

I hope she be happy with herself one day and i hope everyone does get an Sakura moment where they do an collab with someone that inspired them or help them i just hope i can do an collab with the artist that i look up to

[@GuynameAsh]

I legit feel so emotional when I heard it. I just straight up write a whole paragraph of how her songs saved me down the music video. Her song really shut off away any thoughts in my head. Ado have a place in ny heart, with any kind of songs she released. How much hatred, despair, depressed the lyrics, I can feel the emotion in the song. With sakura biyori and this video, it just make me wanna lend her a big warmful hug. (If the comment look clunky, I'm sorry to have a broken grammar nor english. Is just I don't know if I write it well or just confusing, I doesn't have any friends to say if my grammar is decent or something)

[@Kushunjpop]

@@GuynameAsh Thank you for the comment. You're English is perfectly fine👍 She never holds back when she sing, even with Binkusuno sake, and yes, she deserves all the love in the world💙

[@GuynameAsh]

@@Kushunjpop thank you for telling my english have no problem. ado really deserve all the love in the world. with how much she put her emotions and soul in her songs, ill show more and more support to her!

[@CoffeaLight]

What an incredible video, teared up so many times

[@Kushunjpop]

@@CoffeaLight Thank you for the kind words🙇‍♂️ Mainstream J-pop and vocaloid is inseparable even if people don't realize it, but hopefully with the rise of utaite vocaloid will no longer be seen as subculture!

[@Honeybunch81]

When I listened to this song, I was crying so hard. Because I was also like Ado, I was happy as a kid, but as I grew up, I hated being in my body and was sadly suicidal during the 2020 pandemic. Until I listened to a Miku song and decided to keep going forward Listening to Ado and Miku's song, I was reminded of my feelings that day I discovered Vocaloid music and the Miku song that saved me. I really hope that Ado will learn to love herself or just to embrace who she is as I am doing the same. Happy late birthday, Ado 🎉

[@Kushunjpop]

@@Honeybunch81 Thanks for sharing, glad to know you're doing better now! Music sure do wonders.

[@aagodzilla]

You to with the same situation

[@TsunankoProductions]

God, it's heartbreaking to think that she doesn't like herself. I can only hope that someday, our feelings reach her the way that she's reached us, the listeners, and that she can see herself as we see her. A brilliant shining light full of talent that's there when we're feeling broken, hurt, or enraged. Hang in there, Ado-san. I hope someday, you can see what we see in you, not from us, but from yourself.

[@Kushunjpop]

@@TsunankoProductions Couldn't put it better myself🙇‍♂️

[@nicoscarlet]

I just become her new fan after listening to this song. Ive tried listened to her other songs but this song clicked with me the most

[@Kushunjpop]

@@nicoscarlet Welcome to the point of no return💙 I wouldn't say similar but her One Piece songs might connect with you as well.

[@nicoscarlet]

@@Kushunjpop Yes. I am currently binge listening to all of her songs. I realized her songs that hooked me up mostly from one piece and of course this with Hatsune is my current favourite

[@applecup2297]

Thanks for this I wanted to know the message behind these two songs and ngl I feel like giving Ado a hug I feel she needs it but the hug doesn’t matter until she learns to be satisfied with herself sometimes us humans have our own view of being satisfied rather than what other people may think what that looks like I hope Ados doing well….thanks for this video again 💙

[@Kushunjpop]

@@applecup2297 Thanks for this lovely comment. After she performed Sakura Biyori and Time Machine, she was crying while giving a speech, but at the end she said she's starting to like herself a little bit💙

[@applecup2297]

@ no probs I didn’t mean to write a huge comment I just get really into the flow of Waht I’m saying

[@Adorienn]

Thank you for making this video. I cried the whole time

[@Kushunjpop]

@@Adorienn Thank you for...crying the whole time?🧻

[@Adorienn]

@@Kushunjpop I just relate to her story a lot, especially the part about self-hatred

[@Adorienn]

@@Kushunjpop I also watched your Sayuri video (and cried again...). Thanks for your videos, keep making them! I subscribed.

[@Kushunjpop]

@@Adorienn Thank you, it means a lot that you watched the Sayuri video(and subscribing)🙇‍♂️

[@ItsFrancescoTdm]

This is really well done. I never knew some of the details in Sakura Biyori and Time Machine.

[@jolyteaz]

wow! a really great analysis. didn't even notice the clock part. i still tear up whenever i listen to sakura biyori 😭

[@Kushunjpop]

@@jolyteaz Thank you. It's really subtle. Ikr it's such a great song and I would've listened to it on loop if it weren't that emotional😭

[@3XP3XP3XP]

Before watching this video, I've already cried almost everytime while I listened or sang to either of these songs. Now, I think I won't be able to not cry anymore. I love this video with all my heart. I'm suffering with the exact same thing as a person I look up to, and it feels almost unreal to realize I'm not alone 💙

[@Kushunjpop]

@@3XP3XP3XP Just knowing that you're not going through a tough time alone has so much significance💙

[@TheOrangeLeto]

what a great video🌟 I love Ado, but for some of her work I miss the context, so thank you for providing it

[@Kushunjpop]

This and Shoka are definitely outliers simply because how important they are to Ado❤️

[@SkygirlGamingChannel]

I'm very glad to say not only have I been at her special live 2024心臓 but it was also my very first concert ever. Many in the audience started to cry themself when she spoke of her situation. It was quite sad but also gave you a better understanding of who she is and at this point she is one of my absolute favorite singers ever. I'm glad you covering her story for people who might not have had the chance to be there live or are not fluent in Japanese. Shes a great artist and hope she can once live with herself better.

[@Kushunjpop]

@@SkygirlGamingChannel You're so lucky! Your bar for concert must be really high now😂 Yea that's predominantly why I made this video, too much is lost between translations and I hope non Japanese speakers can also experience the significance💙

[@SkygirlGamingChannel]

@@Kushunjpop In fact my bar likely raised a lot. It was an extroardinary concert in all aspects. My impression of concerts was quite bad with people having their phones everywhere, pushing eachother, no seating, issues finding the toilet etc but this one was very well done in all its aspects. I'm glad they banned phones to be used during the concert, it made the experience way better.

[@Kushunjpop]

@SkygirlGamingChannel Yea I think that is with most Japanese concerts cuz they care a lot about copyright at stuff, but they def plan things out way better than most western events.

[@supmichael]

This is an amazing video. Ado is someone i look up to a lot, and I really wish her the best in the future. The fact that someone as big and successful as her is still dealing with the same problems as me is oddly comforting. And oh my God hearing her cry while singing literally broke my heart. I'm happy she's making progress not just as an artist, but as a person too. She and her music have helped me out a lot and I couldn't imagine myself without her.

[@Kushunjpop]

@@supmichael Thank you! It's the imperfections that make her perfect💙

[@Vir_Animo]

Honestly, a dream of mine is to collab with my idol, who is Ado. It probably won’t happen (Especially because I’m a 14 year old aspiring American singer) but a guy can dream

[@3XP3XP3XP]

Same!!! I'm 13, but I'd love to meet her someday.. even if it is a ridiculous dream XD

[@Kushunjpop]

@@Vir_Animo There's definitely a place in J-POP where they could use someone who sings with perfect English, now more than ever actually, so Ganbatte! Also wouldn't hurt to start learning Japanese😂

[@Vir_Animo]

@ I know some (I do Duolingo), but I’m not going to make my parents pay for actual Japanese lessons (considering I’m already taking voice and piano, it’s a lot financially + my school doesn’t offer Japanese) it kinda sucks tbh

[@Kushunjpop]

@@Vir_Animo I think a really great way is to just indulge yourself in Japanese youtube about topics you're interested in. You can easily find Ado's radio on KZbin as well👍

[@SkygirlGamingChannel]

@@Vir_Animo I personally believe you should try the book series of "Japanese from Zero" . That series was my first japanese workbook and helped me greatly in imporving on my knowledge. Minna No Nihongo みんあの日本語 is also great but you need to understand basic Japanese to use it. I'm uncertain how Duolingo is but theres better solutions to learn how the language sounds in my personal oppinion. Edit: I nearly forgot to mention Quizler(A Flashcard App) After studying certain words or sentence it helps a lot creating flashcards and reading them once in a while for example in train. I got a big flashcard set with some of the most common sentences in japanese.

[@UrWeid]

This is a great video, thank you. Would want to see more of your analyses of Ado songs and MVs.

[@Kushunjpop]

@@UrWeid Trying not to turn this into a Ado channel but definitely gonna make a lot more videos about her because she's my favorite💙

[@UrWeid]

@@Kushunjpop definitely can relate
