From the release of big-hit singles like "Show 唱" to the globe trotting "Uta no Uta" One Piece: Film RED soundtrack/album, Ado has only risen since her smash hit "USSEEWA".
Ado has a versatile voice and is able to add power to it. Her vocals, seeming somewhat mature for her age, usually give off an angsty vibe, as of a rebellious teenager especially in some of her original and cover songs like "Readymade" and "Crime & Punishment," where she best utilizes it.
She uses growls to inject a gravelly angst into her voice but can also belt a soft and clear falsetto on a dime. Not only that, her vocal range itself aside from her techniques is astounding; displayed in "God-ish" to its fullest extent, Ado's latest measure of vocal range is from a low and rumbling fried B2 banging all the way up through to an ear-piercing screaming C7.
Simply put, Ado's voice can be best described as unique, easily capable of growling, reaching high notes as well as singing soft and sweet, all within the same song. She also often uses her voice to reach nearly off-key heights in order to accompany the emotion within her way of singing.
