Zanmu (残夢, lit. "unfulfilled dreams") is the second studio album by Japanese singer Ado, released on July 10, 2024, via Virgin Music. Announced on April 20, the album was preceded by the release of fourteen singles, including "Show", which was used by Universal Studios Japan to promote their Halloween Horror Nights attraction, and "Kura Kura", the theme song for season 2 of Spy × Family.




Background


In 2022, Ado released her debut studio album, Kyōgen, which went to debut atop both the Oricon Albums Chart and the Billboard Japan Hot Albums chart. The album broke a string of records, including becoming the first to sell over 100,000 copies in its first week by a female artist since Superfly's 2008 self titled debut studio album. Later that year, Ado provided singing vocals for Uta for the Japanese animated musical fantasy film One Piece Film: Red. The accompanying soundtrack album Uta's Songs: One Piece Film Red became an international success, charting in various countries and breaking records on the Japan Hot 100. In 2023, Ado released multiple singles, alongside a compilation album of cover recordings, Ado's Utattemita Album.
On April 20, 2024, Universal Music Japan announced Ado's second studio album. Multiple variants of the album will be released, which will contain bonus bundles while the limited edition will include footage of her Los Angeles performance from her first world tour, the Wish tour.




Promotion


Various songs included on the album were used in commercial tie-ins or as theme songs for Japanese films. "Missing", which was written by Ringo Sheena, served as the theme song for Karada Sakari while "Dignity" served as the theme song for the live-action adaption of The Silent Service and "Chocolat Cadabra", which was used by Lotte Wellfood for their 60th anniversary commercial.
In promotion of Zanmu, Ado will embark on her first Japanese arena tour, the Mona Lisa Profile. The tour is slated to begin on July 14.
