Ado's Best Adobum (Adoのベストアドバム, Ado no Besuto Adobamu) is the first greatest hits album by Japanese singer Ado, scheduled for release on April 9, 2025, via Virgin Music. Announced in early January, the album includes songs from her first and second studio albums, Kyōgen (2022) and Zanmu (2024), alongside songs from her soundtrack album Uta's Songs: One Piece Film Red (2022) and her cover album Ado's Utattemita Album (2023).

Background

Ado released her second studio album Zanmu in July 2024. Similar to her debut album Kyōgen (2022), Zanmu debuted at number one on various Japanese charts. Following the end of Ado's Japan tour Mona Lisa Profile, she released her first double A-side single "Sakura Biyori and Time Machine" featuring Vocaloid Hatsune Miku and "Shoka". Within that month, Ado announced her second world tour, the Hibana Tour.

In January 2025, Ado's management team posted a teaser hinting at Ado's 5th anniversary since debuting as an artist. Hours later, her team revealed Ado's first greatest hits album.

Cover artwork

Artwork for the album cover was handled by Orihara, who has designed Ado's previous album covers. The standard, limited Kigeki and box set edition each have different cover art.

Release and promotion

Scheduled for release on April 9, 2025, six versions of Ado's Best Adobum was announced by Universal Music Japan. The Kigeki edition features footage from Ado's first live performance while the box set version includes the footage from the Kigeki edition alongside additional bonus goods. First press goods for all six of the versions include a trading card while additional bonus goods vary from additional shops. The album is marketed by the slogan "All hits, no misses".
