Ano, who used to be a member of the idol group You’ll Melt More! (Yurumerumo!), suddenly became a breakout star around 2022.

These days, she’s active as a solo singer, and her signature song is “Chu, Diversity.” Many of you may know it as one of the ending themes for the anime Chainsaw Man, and she also performed it on THE FIRST TAKE.

The choreography, which captures Ano’s uniquely whimsical worldview, is adorable, and if you dance in a cheongsam-style outfit to match the lyrics, it’ll feel even more true to the original.
