Backstage in Tokyo, Mrs. GREEN APPLE Teases Its New Era: ‘No Limits’
The pop-rock trio is one of Japan’s biggest bands. Will its new album deliver the act to the world?
On July 4, Tokyo's Shibuya area was filled with vivid orange and lime green colors, as the Japanese pop-rock band Mrs. GREEN APPLE prepared to headline two sold-out fan club-only shows at Tokyo's MUFG Stadium. Vocalist-guitarist Motoki Ohmori expressed his excitement about performing in front of 70,000 concertgoers, calling it a special milestone for the band.
This tour marked the first time Mrs. GREEN APPLE performed at a Tokyo stadium and aimed to book four shows at the MUFG Stadium, a historic feat that translates to "unprecedented" in Japanese. The band, which formed in 2013, had already achieved significant success, including winning the inaugural artist of the year honor at Music Awards Japan and becoming the first J-pop act to reach 10 billion streams in Japan.
Their 2025 anniversary compilation album landed at No. 10 on IFPI's Global Album chart, and the band's singles had become top 10 hits on Billboard Japan's charts. With their momentum building, Mrs. GREEN APPLE is poised to make an even bigger impact in the coming years, potentially becoming the next major act to break out of Japan and gain international recognition.
