Mrs. Green Apple, a dynamic Japanese rock band formed in 2013, made a significant impact on the music scene with their major debut in 2015 under EMI Records. The band quickly gained recognition for their energetic performances and catchy tunes, notably contributing the fourth ending theme to the popular anime series Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V. Their first full album, “Twelve,” released in January 2016, achieved remarkable success, reaching the 10th position on the Oricon charts, solidifying their status in the industry.
The band’s journey continued to flourish as they released their first nationally distributed CD, “Progressive,” in February 2015, followed by their mini album “Variety” in July of the same year. Their participation in major music festivals, such as Rock in Japan Festival and Rising Sun Rock Festival, showcased their growing popularity and ability to captivate large audiences. In December 2015, their single “Speaking” was selected as the fifth ending theme for Yu-Gi-Oh! Arc-V, further expanding their reach.
In July 2020, Mrs. Green Apple announced a new chapter in their career with the release of a Best Album compilation titled “5,” which included remastered tracks and new songs. This marked the end of Phase 1 for the band, as they transitioned to an independent status and initiated “Project-MGA” to recruit new creative talents for their next phase. The band’s commitment to innovation and growth has kept their fanbase engaged and excited for what’s to come.
Most recently, their fifth studio album, “Antenna,” released in July 2023, debuted at number two on the Oricon Albums Chart, showcasing their continued relevance in the music industry. With a focus on artistic expression and a dedication to their craft, Mrs. Green Apple remains a prominent force in Japanese rock, continually evolving and captivating audiences with their unique sound and vision.
