The powerful vocals of Ado will resonate through the upcoming film "The Silent Fleet: Arctic Sea Battle," as her new song "Wind and My Story" has been selected as the theme song. This highly anticipated track is set to be released on September 26, coinciding with the film's premiere. A special collaboration music video, featuring scenes from the movie, has already been unveiled on Toho's YouTube channel, offering a glimpse into the epic narrative.
"Wind and My Story" is a creation born from the collaboration between lyricist Hayami Kinoshita and composer Mafumafu, with the latter also contributing to the arrangement. The accompanying promotional video showcases the formidable submarine "Yamato" navigating the icy expanse of the Arctic Sea, set against the poignant lyric "I run." The visuals also capture the intense political maneuvering and the relentless pursuit of truth by journalists, hinting at the multifaceted drama within the film.
The cinematic venture, "The Silent Fleet: Arctic Sea Battle," is the second live-action adaptation of Kaiji Kawaguchi's acclaimed manga, "The Silent Fleet." This follows the successful release of "The Silent Fleet: Season 1 - Battle of the Tokyo Bay" last year, which garnered significant critical praise. The original manga, serialized from 1988 to 1996, has sold over 32 million copies and is known for its intricate political and military themes, even sparking discussions in the Japanese parliament. The first live-action film, released in September 2023, was a notable success, earning 1.37 billion yen domestically and was followed by an eight-episode web series on Amazon Prime Video in February 2024.
In "The Silent Fleet: Arctic Sea Battle," the "Yamato," having previously annihilated the US 7th Fleet, embarks on a perilous journey into the Arctic Sea. In response, the United States deploys its most advanced nuclear-powered submarine. The film's narrative also delves into the political arena, depicting the Prime Minister's struggle against a vote of no confidence due to his open support for the "Yamato."
Adding to her already impressive year, Ado is celebrating her 5th anniversary with a global presence. Her "Ado WORLD TOUR 2025 'Hibana' Powered by Crunchyroll" is a testament to her international reach, having already captivated audiences worldwide. Following this extensive tour, she is set to return to Japan for her "Ado DOME TOUR 2025 'Yodaka,'" commencing on November 11, marking her first-ever dome tour and a significant milestone in her burgeoning career. The "Hibana" tour, which began in April 2025, has been described as one of the largest world tours by a Japanese artist, with Ado herself stating, “If my first world tour embodied my 'Wish,' then my second will ignite the spark I want to light in the world.”
