After turning a Metallica song into one of the most unexpected moments of her Summer Sonic appearances, the Japanese singer has confirmed that \u201cEnter Sandman\u201d will receive a studio version on Ado no Utattemita Album Sono 2 (Ado\u306e\u6b4c\u3063\u3066\u307f\u305f\u30a2\u30eb\u30d0\u30e0 \u305d\u306e\uff12), her second full record devoted to interpreting other artists\u2019 songs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The album arrives on December 23, 2026, revisiting the concept of 2023\u2019s Ado no Utattemita Album while dramatically widening its scope. Songs were selected from requests submitted by fans around the world, and the record will move between Vocaloid, J-Pop and, for the first time in this series, Western music. The full tracklist has yet to be revealed, although roughly ten songs are planned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The first three choices already suggest there will be little interest in stylistic consistency for its own sake. Alongside Metallica sits \u300c\u5984\u60f3\u75be\u60a3\u25a0\u30ac\u30fc\u30eb\u300d, a Vocaloid song from 2014, and \u300c\u304f\u3061\u3070\u3057\u306b\u30c1\u30a7\u30ea\u30fc\u300d (Kuchibashi ni Cherry), originally released by EGO-WRAPPIN\u2019 in 2002 and associated with the drama Shiritsu Tantei Hama Mike. They come from completely different musical worlds, connected mainly by what Ado\u2019s highly elastic voice might be able to do with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed alignwide is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe class=\"zeen-lazy-load-base zeen-lazy-load\" title=\"Ado\u3055\u3093\u5927\u962a\u3067\u3082Enter Sandman\u6b4c\u3063\u3066\u304f\u308c\u307e\u3057\u305f\uff0831\u79d2 Original (Ado singing Metallica&amp;apos;s &quot;Enter Sandman&quot;\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"about:blank\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OOhPKUanpGI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><noscript><iframe title=\"Ado\u3055\u3093\u5927\u962a\u3067\u3082Enter Sandman\u6b4c\u3063\u3066\u304f\u308c\u307e\u3057\u305f\uff0831\u79d2 Original (Ado singing Metallica&amp;apos;s &quot;Enter Sandman&quot;\" width=\"1200\" height=\"675\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OOhPKUanpGI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/noscript>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cKuchibashi ni Cherry\u201d also carries some personal history. Before her official debut, when she was still 17, Ado recorded the song during an early trial session after being given material to perform by her record company. That recording remained unheard publicly for years before finally surfacing in March 2026. Its return now creates an unusual before-and-after portrait: the same song connecting an unknown teenager beginning to record professionally with an artist whose career operates on an entirely different scale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">With \u201cEnter Sandman,\u201d the process has happened almost in reverse because the cover has already survived its biggest possible test in front of a festival crowd. Ado used it to open her headline sets at Summer Sonic 2026 in Tokyo and Osaka, then returned to it for the encore. She described the choice as a gesture of respect towards the festival\u2019s history and the artists who had previously headlined it, giving the forthcoming studio recording a direct connection to those performances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Metallica originally released \u201cEnter Sandman\u201d in 1991 on the album commonly known as the Black Album, and it became one of the band\u2019s defining songs. For Ado, its relatively controlled vocal melody and riff-driven structure provide an intriguing framework for a singer known for moving abruptly between clean tones, rasps, screams and dramatic shifts in dynamics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">Ado no Utattemita Album Sono 2 will be available in two physical editions. The standard version contains the CD, while a limited first edition adds an original acrylic stand and stickers. The remaining songs and retailer-specific extras will be revealed closer to release.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph translation-block\">The album arrives six years after \u201cUsseewa\u201d turned Ado into one of the most explosive Japanese debuts of recent years. Since then she has gone from uploading performances while keeping her face out of public view to touring internationally, playing some of Japan\u2019s largest venues and providing Uta\u2019s singing voice in One Piece Film Red. Her next covers record appears designed around exactly that freedom: not choosing songs because they belong together, but because her voice might be able to pull them apart and rebuild them.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ado no parece demasiado interesada en respetar las fronteras entre g\u00e9neros.
