At just 23, J-pop sensation Ado continues to be a hot topic. Despite never revealing her face, she's racked up countless performances, even gracing the prestigious Kohaku Uta Gassen, and her collaborations are endless, all testament to her massive popularity.
On July 15, Ado fired up her YouTube channel for a live stream, diving into Nintendo Switch's July release, "Rhythm Heaven: Cosmic Star." Her epic performance immediately set the internet ablaze.
Ado kicked off her stream at 8 PM on July 15, titling it: "Let's Play Rhythm Heaven (with a little bit of non-first-time content at the start)." As of 8 PM on July 16 (when this article was written), the video had already racked up over 1.12 million views and soared to #1 on Japan's trending gaming videos list.
True to her stream title, Ado immediately confessed that she just couldn't resist and had secretly played a little bit before officially going live. She laughed as she told her viewers, "This is probably the worst way for a Rhythm Heaven streamer to start (laughs). I'm so sorry, please forgive me." Her self-deprecating humor definitely got a chuckle out of the audience.
Right from the get-go, she aced the initial stages with perfect scores, casually revealing, "I pretty much cleared everything on my first try."
As the game's difficulty ramped up, Ado exclaimed, "This is so hard! It's insane! The tension is almost like being at a concert!" Yet, her actual gameplay remained incredibly steady. Not only did she clear the very first stage flawlessly, but she continued to rack up perfect scores one after another.
After breezing through the levels she'd secretly played beforehand, she finally hit the truly "first-time" stages. Even with brand-new content, she effortlessly snagged perfect scores, consistently clearing levels and showcasing the impeccable rhythm you'd expect from a professional singer. The live chat exploded with praise: "She's seriously so good!" "Of course, she's a singer, her rhythm is insane!" "Playing so steadily while chatting? That's incredible!"
To cap off the stream, Ado treated viewers to a special live performance of her brand-new song, "Love me forever!", recorded specifically for "Rhythm Heaven: Cosmic Star," bringing the nearly four-hour broadcast to a perfect close.
