Appears in Rhythm Heaven Miracle Stars","summary":"Singer Ado's new song \"Love Me Forever!\" has been included as an in-game track in the Nintendo Switch title \"Rhythm Heaven Miracle Stars,\" released on July 2. The song, written and composed by Tsunku♂, began digital distribution on July 3 on platforms including Apple Music and Spotify. Tsunku♂ revealed on note that the collaboration began about five years ago when he saw Ado's YouTube cover of \"Mechamote I LOVE YOU,\" an opening theme he produced for the anime \"Gokujo!! Mecha Mote Iinchou.\" He said he felt a connection to Ado's background through her choice of that song and, as a father of a daughter around Ado's age, felt moved. When producing the new Rhythm Heaven game, the team planned for vocal tracks but prioritized the feel of the game over fame, so Tsunku♂ asked Ado directly if she was interested. She accepted, and Tsunku♂ spent six months to a year crafting a song that fit both Ado's voice and the Rhythm Heaven style, drawing inspiration from attending her live performance in Hawaii. The jacket illustration was done by Nintendo's Rhythm Heaven team.","whyItMatters":"The collaboration marks a rare instance of a major pop singer being directly recruited for a Rhythm Heaven game based on a personal creative connection rather than market trends, with the song's creation process shaped by Tsunku♂'s long-held admiration for Ado's vocal work.","webCardHtml":"\u003cp\u003eTsunku♂ wrote on note that the collaboration was not driven by Ado\u0026#39;s popularity or market trends.
