AND LOVE NO UTA

Singer-songwriter Ari Onishi, a close friend of ANDO, wrote and composed "And Love no Uta" (The Song of &LOVE) as a birthday gift for the duo.

To commemorate its first live performance at the ANDO 54th Anniversary Party on March 14, 2026, the song will be released digitally by Kanade Records.

The fashion concept of &LOVE is:
"To dress well is to live well."
Clothing is something that allows us to wear happiness.

At the age of 30, Masami was diagnosed with breast cancer.
The "treatment necessary to live" weighed heavily on her heart. Seeing her reflection in the mirror - after losing her hair and enduring the physical and emotional toll of the side effects - she felt as if her sense of self had been taken away, leaving her in deep despair.

Then, one day, a single piece of clothing lit a spark in her heart.
A lovely detail.
The gentle touch of fabric against the skin.
Colors and silhouettes that make you look beautiful.

Wearing beautiful clothes can make your heart shine and bring a positive feeling.

The fashion brand &LOVE was born from the wish to make all women feel happy and energized -
to help them shine with youthful radiance, feel excited every day, grow more beautiful, and let their hearts dance with joy.

After a miraculous reunion, Ari Onishi, Masami's soulmate-like friend, wrote the lyrics and music filled with heartfelt wishes.

This track marks ANDO's first challenge as singers and their debut recording, featuring a vocal collaboration between ANDO and Ari Onishi.
Joining them are Ari's musical friends - pianist Yuri Suzuki and flutist Masako Hirano - performing together live while dressed in &LOVE, capturing the joyful atmosphere of a fun girls' gathering.
The recording was then given a touch of magic by Yuichi Ozaki of The Uncoloured.

"And Love no Uta" is a charming good-luck song that brings happiness.
If you want to smile, come and sing along with us.
