Japanese singer Ado has been announced as the Creative Partner for the adidas Japan National Soccer Team 2026 uniform, marking a major collaboration between the artist, adidas, and Japan’s national football program.
As part of the partnership, Ado will also create the official uniform song for the team as it heads toward the FIFA World Cup 2026. The announcement was shared via social media, highlighting Ado’s role in shaping both the visual and musical identity of the upcoming kit.
The 2026 home uniform is built around the concept “HORIZON,” a theme that represents the challenge of aiming beyond limits and moving forward together. According to the announcement, the concept reflects unity between players and supporters as they push toward new goals on the world stage.
Ado was selected for her distinctive vocal style and narrative-driven music, which adidas and the Japan National Team believe will help convey the emotional core of the project. Her upcoming song will serve as a unifying anthem designed to energize fans and players alike throughout the World Cup campaign.
The collaboration’s key visual was illustrated by ORIHARA, further blending music, fashion, and art into the uniform’s overall presentation.
In a statement, Ado shared her excitement about the project:
“I am truly honored to serve as the Creative Partner for the adidas Japan National Soccer Team 2026 Uniform.
It has also been decided that I will create the Uniform Song.
I’m very grateful to be involved in this way.
I’m really looking forward to seeing what kind of song it will become.
I will work my hardest together with adidas, so thank you very much for your support!”
More details about the uniform design and the release of Ado’s official uniform song are expected to be revealed at a later date.
