Fans are trembling with fear at the contents of the “important announcement” to be announced by the very popular three-piece band Mrs. GREEN APPLE (hereafter referred to as “Mrs.”) at 8:00 p.m. on October 16–. Mrs. Motoki Omori has changed drastically, and her “old appearance” has made her “look like a great teacher”. On the night of October 15, the URL for playback was released. Mrs. Green Apple is now a national band with no one who does not know them. This year is the 10th anniversary of their debut, and the band seems to be more energetic than usual. However, due to the group’s history and guitarist and vocalist Motoki Omori’s (29) postings, fans are talking about the theory of “inactivity,” and some are worried and some are lamenting. In 2015, Mrs. made its major debut as a five-member band including Ayaka Yamanaka (30, who left the band at the end of 2009) on drums and Kiyomune Takano (34, who left the band at the end of 2009) on bass. The worldview of “Mrs.” as perceived by the public, including the visuals of the members, was largely created after “Phase 2. Mrs.” exploded in popularity after the transition to “Phase 2. Subscribers, in particular, have been amazing. The cumulative total of streaming on the “Billboard JAPAN” chart (*total value of major music subs in Japan, etc.) is overwhelming. On July 2 of this year, the total number of streaming views surpassed 10 billion for the first time in Japanese history, and on August 13, the number of views of “Blue and Summer” (released in July 2006), a representative song from the Phase 1 era, surpassed 900 million. It was the seventh song in the history of “Billboard JAPAN” to record the same number of views. Oricon also ranked Omori No. 1 in the “Digital Ranking by Artist Sales” for the first half of 2025, and he became the first male artist in history to win seven titles in the “Oricon Weekly Music and Video Ranking” dated July 21, 2008. Meanwhile, Omori recently appeared in NHK’s television series “Anpan” (first half of the 25th year), and keyboardist Ryokka Fujisawa (32) made his first film appearance in the movie “Beethoven Kensaku” (opening in theaters on September 12). Guitarist Kohto Wakai (29) has also been an MC on the music program “M:ZINE” (TV Asahi) since last April, and the program also held a live event at Saitama Super Arena on September 9 this year.
