World renowned enigmatic utaite, Ado, has announced a unique opportunity for fans to interact with her directly for the first time. In celebration of her upcoming second album ‘Zanmu’, set to release on July 10th, Ado will host her inaugural handshake event in Tokyo this October.
The event, aptly named the ‘Ado Handshake Event’, offers fans an exclusive chance to meet the mysterious star, who has never shown her face, in person, albeit from outside a large box. A concept image accompanying the announcement states “You will shake hands with Ado inside the box! Please insert your hand into the hole installed in the box. Ado will shake hands with the hand you have placed inside!”
Winners selected through a special application lottery, accessible to those who purchase CD copies of ‘Zanmu’, will be the privileged attendees. Each day, 500 lucky winners will have the opportunity to shake hands with Ado at a confidential location in Tokyo, details of which will be disclosed solely to the winners.
Reflecting on her aspirations for the event, Ado shared:
“I have finally realized the handshake event using the ‘Mouth of Truth’ method from Italy that I have always wanted to do! I will really be inside the box! I will do my best to make you believe! Please believe in me and apply!!”
In addition to the handshake session, lottery participants will also have the chance to win other prizes, including personally signed posters from Ado with their names included, and access to exclusive seats for her highly anticipated performances at K-Arena Yokohama as part of her ‘Ado JAPAN TOUR 2024 ‘Profile of Mona Lisa’. Scheduled for October 12th and 13th, each show will have 900 exclusive seats, promising to be a highlight of Ado’s young yet storied career.
