SHE’S BACK! JAPANESE SUPERSTAR ADO RETURNS FOR HER SECOND WORLD TOUR, “HIBANA,”

 Crunchyroll, the global brand for anime, has announced that iconic Japanese vocalist Ado will embark on her second world tour, Ado WORLD TOUR 2025 “Hibana” Powered by Crunchyroll, reaching even more fans worldwide next year.

 

Ado WORLD TOUR 2025 “Hibana” Powered by Crunchyroll is gearing up to be one of the biggest world tours ever organized by a Japanese artist, a strong follow up to her first-ever, sold-out world tour this year, “Wish” Powered by Crunchyroll. Starting at Tokyo’s iconic Saitama Super Arena next April, Ado will light up over 30 cities worldwide before closing out in Honolulu, Hawaii next August.

 

The tour will feature six stops in Asia after Saitama — Bangkok, Manila, Taipei, Seoul, Hong Kong, and Singapore, and two stops in Australia - Sydney and Melbourne.

Promoted by AEG Presents Asia and Ovation Productions, Ado WORLD TOUR 2025 “Hibana”, Powered by Crunchyroll in Manila will be happening on 8 May 2025 at the Mall of Asia Arena.

Tickets are priced from PHP1,800 and can be purchased through SM Tickets.

 

A presale for Crunchyroll fans will begin at 10AM PHT on Tuesday, November 19, 2024. The presale code will be available on Crunchyroll News (https://got.cr/AdoHibana). General ticket sales will open at 10AM PHT on Friday, November 22, 2024. 

 

“If my first world tour embodied my ‘Wish,’ then my second will ignite the spark I want to light in the world,” said Ado. “I named this tour ‘Hibana,’ meaning ‘spark’ in Japanese, to carry my heritage with me on this journey. I aim to show my growth since the ‘Wish’ tour and deliver my best performances yet.”

 

Known both for her vibrant voice and her mysterious identity, Ado has captured hearts in Japan and global audiences alike. Her vocals can be heard coloring the soundtracks of SPY x FAMILY and ONE PIECE FILM: RED, of which “New Genesis”, the film’s title track, peaked at #1 on the Billboard Japan Hot 100 chart and Apple Music’s Top 100: Global Chart.

Full Quote by Ado

“Hibana” – I originally had an idea of naming this tour “Spark.”

 

To start a revolution can also be expressed as “Spark a Revolution,” and the word “spark” is also often used in contexts like “light a fire,” “start a fire” and “provoke something.” 

 

If my 1st world tour was my “Wish,” my next step is to light a fire in the world as someone from Japan.  Hot as a spark of fire, even if it’s small, I want to be the inspiration to start something big. “Hibana” is a Japanese word for “Spark.” I want to bring my Japanese heritage on the road with me so I named this tour “Hibana,” in Japanese. 

I hope to show everyone around the world my growth since the “Wish” tour and bring you the best live performance.
