On Aug 19, through jointly launched label by avex and Johnnys & Associates “MENT RECORDING”, Snow Man have opened up their official account on popular social media platform TikTok. Their first video shows the members greeting the fans and announcing the release date of their sophomore album “Snow Labo. S2”  that will be out on September 19.

This week, Ado topped the Combined Single chart with her digital single “Shin Jidai (Uta from ONE PIECE FILM RED)”, with 71,383 points in its tenth week.

She also topped the Combined Album chart with their new album “Uta no Uta ONE PIECE FILM RED”, with 160,297 points in its first week.

On October 14, the live action film version of the novel “Karada Sagashi”, starring Hashimoto Kanna and Maeda Gordon, will be released in theaters. Ado has been picked to sing the movie’s song. The song is a collaboration with Shiina Ringo, titled “Yukueshirezu.”

Hara Yuki, the film’s producer, says he asked Ado to do the theme song for the movie because she is the spokesperson for today’s young people and goes against society. He added that she is the perfect person to be involved in a movie in which young people are under threat.

Of getting the opportunity to work with Ringo, who wrote, composed, and arranged “Yukueshirezu”, Ado said that Ringo is someone who she has strongly been influenced by and has respected for a long time. She said that she is so honored by the whole experience that she feels as if she has used up all the luck afforded to her in life, to the point that she could die.

Of Ado, Ringo said that when she first heard Ado’s voice, she was wowed by how cat-like it is. She was so amazed by Ado’s voice that she said if Ado was around 25 years ago, she would have had Ado sing her debut album, “Muzai Moratorium.”

Along with the announcement of the song, ORIHARA, Ado’s image director, created an image of Ado and Ringo together.

Check out the trailer for “Karada Sagashi”, which features a clip of “Yukueshirezu”, below!

One of Sexy Zone‘s dreams since their debut is coming true! In December, the group will start their first dome tour! The tour will see them go to two domes for a total of four concerts.

The announcement was made on August 14 at the group’s Yokohama Arena concert of their “Sexy Zone Live Tour 2022 The Arena.” During the show, the arena went dark, and an emergency announcement appeared on the stage’s screen. The screen then revealed the dome tour announcement.

“Many things have happened in the last eleven years, but Sexy Zone has always made the choice to keep going,” So Matsushima said after the new was revealed. Continuing his speech to the audience, “And this time, it is all of you who have made it possible for us to keep trying. I want to thank you all again. Truly, thank you.”

Fuma Kikuchi followed, saying, “Tokyo Dome was one of our dreams. Ten years, eleven years, I think we’ve kept you all waiting too long, but I’m proud to make this announcement. Sexy Zone, Chapter 2, everyone please follow us!”

Then Kento Nakajima addressed the arena. “The unrequited love of ten years has finally come true! We have waited and hoped for ten years, and now we have arrived at a dome performance! We have the best concerts, so Sexy Lovers, please come to the dome and make the best memories! We will liven up the Sexy Dome!

So then read a message from Shori Sato, who is currently undergoing medical treatment for COVID-19. “Dome, finally! It took more than ten years, but my dream since debut came true! I’ll risk my life to make everyone happy for the amount of time we’ve kept you waiting! I’m sorry I couldn’t be at Yokohoma Arena, but I will recover and get back on stage! I’ll be waiting for you in the dome!”
