Crunchyroll, the global brand for anime, has announced that iconic Japanese vocalist Ado will embark on her second world tour, Ado WORLD TOUR 2025 “Hibana” Powered by Crunchyroll, reaching even more fans worldwide next year.
Ado WORLD TOUR 2025 “Hibana” Powered by Crunchyroll is gearing up to be one of the biggest world tours ever organized by a Japanese artist, a solid follow-up to her first-ever, sold-out world tour this year, “Wish” Powered by Crunchyroll. Starting at Tokyo’s iconic Saitama Super Arena next April, Ado will light up over 30 cities worldwide before closing out in Honolulu, Hawaii, next August.
The tour will feature six Asian stops after Saitama — Bangkok, Manila, Taipei, Seoul, Hong Kong, and Singapore, and two in Australia - Sydney and Melbourne.
Promoted by AEG Presents Asia and Ovation Productions, Ado WORLD TOUR 2025 “Hibana,” Powered by Crunchyroll in Manila, will be happening on 8 May 2025 at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Tickets are priced from PHP1,800 and can be purchased through SM Tickets.
A presale for Crunchyroll fans will begin at 10 AM PHT on Tuesday, November 19, 2024. The presale code will be available on Crunchyroll News (https://got.cr/AdoHibana). General ticket sales will open at 10 AM PHT on Friday, November 22, 2024.
“If my first world tour embodied my ‘Wish,’ then my second will ignite the spark I want to light in the world,” said Ado. “I named this tour ‘Hibana,’ meaning ‘spark’ in Japanese, to carry my heritage with me on this journey. I aim to show my growth since the ‘Wish’ tour and deliver my best performances.”
Known both for her vibrant voice and her mysterious identity, Ado has captured hearts in Japan and global audiences alike. Her vocals can be heard coloring the soundtracks of SPY x FAMILY and ONE PIECE FILM: RED, of which “New Genesis,” the film’s title track, peaked at #1 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 chart and Apple Music’s Top 100: Global Chart.

Ado WORLD TOUR “Hibana” Powered by Crunchyroll Tour Schedule
Full Quote by Ado*
“Hibana” – I initially considered naming this tour “Spark.”
To start a revolution can also be expressed as “Spark a Revolution,” and the word “spark” is also often used in contexts like “light a fire,” “start a fire,” and “provoke something.”
If my 1st world tour was my “Wish,” my next step is to light a fire in the world as someone from Japan. Hot as a spark of fire, even if it’s small, I want to be the inspiration to start something big. “Hibana” is a Japanese word for “Spark.” I want to bring my Japanese heritage to the road, so I named this tour “Hibana” in Japanese.
I hope to show everyone around the world my growth since the “Wish” tour and bring you the best live performance.

About Ado
Ado, a 22-year-old Utaite, a Japanese term for someone covering Vocaloid songs with their authentic voice, became a mainstream name via her 2020 major label debut “Usseewa.” The song topped multiple charts in the country, garnered millions of YouTube views, and cemented itself as a defining number of the early 2020s. Her highly anticipated first album, Kyougen (2022), debuted at #1 on multiple domestic charts and became a long-running hit.
Also in 2022, she lent her voice to the world-renowned anime film “ONE PIECE FILM RED,” singing a total of seven songs, including the theme song “New Genesis,” which topped the Billboard Japan Hot 100 chart for six consecutive weeks. It also became the first-ever Japanese song to reach the #1 position on Apple Music’s Top 100: Global Chart.
2024 saw Ado in a series of live activities such as her SOLD OUT first world tour Ado THE FIRST WORLD TOUR “Wish,” Ado SPECIAL LIVE 2024 “Shinzou” at Japan National Stadium, where she was the first female artist ever to perform at the venue, and Ado JAPAN LIVE TOUR 2024 "Profile of Mona Lisa."
Following the release of her latest studio album, Zanmu, in July 2024, Ado keeps attracting further attention with many exciting new releases lined up, as well as her performance at the opening ceremony of Expo 2025 Osaka Kansai in April. She has accomplished a lot in a short time, but she continues to chase her dreams as she embarks on another adventure, Ado WORLD TOUR 2025 “Hibana” in Spring/Summer 2025, one of the largest world tours in history by a Japanese artist.
