　As part of the second half of her ongoing world tour, Ado WORLD TOUR 2025 “Hibana” Powered by Crunchyroll , vocalist Ado held a concert at Crypto.com Arena in Los Angeles on July 16 (local time). She became the first Japanese artist to sell out the venue, delivering a successful performance to a packed crowd and thunderous applause.

Crypto.com Arena, known as the home of the NBA’s Los Angeles Lakers and a venue for the Grammy Awards, is one of the world’s most iconic arenas. With a capacity of approximately 27,000, the venue was packed with fans who were already brimming with excitement before the show began. The moment the intro to the first song played, the audience rose to their feet with a thunderous cheer.

Ado greeted the crowd in English, saying, “I’m so happy to come back to LA.” She then spoke about the message behind the tour title Hibana, saying, “I want a small spark to become a big flame that lights up the world and leads everyone to happiness.” She expressed her heartfelt gratitude with words like “Your happiness is my happiness” and “This view is a treasure,” ending her speech with “Let’s meet again! Thank you, LA!”

During her cover of Sia’s “Chandelier,” which is featured in this world tour, Ado’s clear high tones and distinctive vocal style echoed throughout the arena, accompanied by a sea of glowing yellow penlights. The performance revealed a new charm different from the original, moving some fans to tears and creating a powerful sense of unity in the crowd.

Ado’s world tour has already sold out 25 shows across 24 cities worldwide. In 13 of those venues—including the Los Angeles show—she became the first Japanese artist ever to sell out the venue. The tour is currently traveling through North and South America and will conclude with the final show in Honolulu on August 24.
