Singer Ado streamed the Nintendo Switch game Rhythm Heaven Miracle Stars on her YouTube channel on July 15, 2026. She titled the stream "I'll play Rhythm Heaven (includes non-blind play at the beginning)" and admitted she had played a little before going live, calling it "the worst start for a first-time Rhythm Heaven streamer" and asking for forgiveness with a laugh. Despite the early play, she cleared the opening stages with the highest rating, saying she "basically cleared them in one try." During the stream, she exclaimed that the game was as nerve-wracking as a live concert but maintained perfect control, clearing the first stage with no mistakes and earning top ratings on subsequent stages. Viewers commented on her skill, rhythm, and ability to play while talking. At the end of the approximately four-hour stream, she performed a live rendition of the new song "Love me forever!," which was recorded for the game. As of July 16, the video had surpassed 1 million views and ranked first in trending game videos. Rhythm Heaven Miracle Stars is available for the Nintendo Switch at 6,500 yen and is also playable on the Nintendo Switch 2.
Ado's July 15 stream of Rhythm Heaven Miracle Stars began with a self-deprecating apology: she had played the opening section before going live, making her "the worst start for a first-time Rhythm Heaven streamer." Once the stream proper started, she cleared the first stage with no mistakes and continued to earn the highest rating on subsequent stages, including a blind playthrough of a stage she had not seen before. Viewers praised her rhythm sense and multitasking, with comments such as "She's genuinely good!" and "It's amazing she can do this while talking!" The stream lasted about four hours and concluded with a live performance of "Love me forever!," a new song recorded specifically for the game. By the next day, the video had accumulated over 1 million views and topped the trending game videos chart. The game itself, a Nintendo Switch title priced at 6,500 yen, is also compatible with the Nintendo Switch 2. The stream's success highlights the crossover appeal of a vocaloid-era singer engaging directly with a Nintendo rhythm franchise.
