NHK will air a special program on August 30, 2026, in which singer Ado discusses her life from childhood to the present, including her struggles with self-denial and her time in a closet. Virtual singer Hatsune Miku provides narration. Ado said she hopes her story reaches someone's heart.
The special, titled "Ado ~Things I Want to Convey at 23~," runs from 8:05 PM to 8:55 PM on NHK AM. Ado released her autobiographical novel "Vivarium: Ado and Me" in February 2026, and the program follows that publication with a deeper look at her life.
Hatsune Miku appears as the program's voice, a choice that connects directly to Ado's history with Vocaloid and utaite. NHK announcer Chieko Katayama also appears. The broadcast closes with Ado sending messages to children about believing in the future.
Catch-up streaming is available for one week after broadcast on NHK's Radiru★Radiru.
