Overview

Japanese band Mrs. GREEN APPLE has released their sixth original full-length album, ‘POPS’, marking the commencement of the group’s ‘Phase 3’. The 16-track album includes nine new songs, such as ‘Kyohan’, ‘Cinderella’, and ‘A Posteriori’, alongside seven previously released singles including ‘lulu.’ and ‘Brand New’. Upon its September 30 release, ‘POPS’ reached the number one spot on the Oricon Daily Album Ranking, recording 578,000 sales on its first day.

The event was attended by 400 fans and featured members Motoki Ohmori, Hiroto Wakai, and Ryoka Fujisawa.

The event was streamed via Weverse to approximately 460,000 viewers globally.

Promotional efforts include a global YouTube campaign featuring custom seek bars and outdoor advertising in cities such as New York, London, and Mumbai.
