Mrs. GREEN APPLE band milestones and popularity

Overview

Following the 30th birthday of vocalist Motoki Ohmori, members of the Japanese rock band Mrs. GREEN APPLE have reflected on the group’s recent transitions. Ohmori noted that the band moved from ‘Phase 2’ to ‘Phase 3’ on January 1, 2026, a period marked by a five-dome tour and three consecutive Japan Record Awards for the song ‘Darling’.

In the wake of these milestones, a survey of Japanese youth aged 15 to 20 identified the band’s most representative tracks. “Ao to Natsu” was voted the most popular song with 32.2% of the vote, described by respondents as a “national song” frequently associated with summer and school events. “Lilac” followed in second place with 25.4%, driven by its popularity on social media platforms like TikTok.
