Mrs. GREEN APPLE – Avoid Note

Written specifically for the first best-of album “5,” “Avoid Note” takes its name from a musical term meaning a note that should be avoided because it interferes with other sounds.

Set to an exhilarating rock tune, its cynical lyrics may make many listeners feel as though the song is calling them out.

Although the melody spans a wide range and sits in a high key, it often moves stepwise, making it easier to sing if you adjust it to your own key.

With lyrics that feel satisfying to hear thanks to their rhyme-like construction, it’s a modern rock tune.

Mrs. GREEN APPLE – PRESENT (Japanese ver.)

Mrs.

GREEN APPLE Mrs.

GREEN APPLE is a band that has gained widespread popularity not only in the rock scene but across the Japanese music scene in recent years.

Every time they release a new track, it becomes a hot topic, and this song—featured on their 2020 best-of album—was no exception! Staying true to the rock flavor common in their previous works while incorporating an electronic sound, the track remains distinctly theirs.

It’s polished and sophisticated, and even listeners who don’t usually gravitate toward EDM or electronic elements should find it easy to enjoy.

Mrs. GREEN APPLE – Angina / Kyoshinsho [Audio]

This work, which has garnered major attention for its inclusion on the tribute album “Dear Jubilee -RADWIMPS TRIBUTE-,” created to celebrate the 20th anniversary of RADWIMPS’ major-label debut.

Mrs.

GREEN APPLE have brilliantly infused the song with their own colors while preserving the original’s distinctive tension and anguished cry toward the world.

The delicate soundscape woven by piano and strings, combined with Motoki Omori’s vocals that hurl raw emotion, tightens the listener’s chest.

It’s a track you’ll want to put on during nights when inescapable anxiety and loneliness come crashing in.

On My MindMrs. GREEN APPLE

On My Mind

This song was released in April 2018 and is the opening theme for the Nippon TV anime “Nana Maru San Batsu” (Fastest Finger First).

The tempo is a relatively quick 186, but the repeated phrases in the chorus give it a very satisfying feel.

The A and B sections are sung firmly in chest voice, and when the chorus hits, the energy explodes, so it’s best to give a strong accent on the very first note! It’s a band-style track, so you’ll want to sing while really listening to the drums and guitar in the background to lock in the rhythm.

Also, after the second chorus, the C section starts in falsetto—before you make sound, try lifting your facial muscles to prepare, then start singing.

Doing so will make your voice more stable and help with pitch accuracy.

For the chest voice and high notes that follow, keep those facial muscles lifted and project your voice as if aiming far away.

You’ll find it becomes much smoother to sing!

FolktaleMrs. GREEN APPLE

Folktale

Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s iconic song “Folktale” is striking for its ennui-laden atmosphere.

Featured on the 2019 album “Attitude,” the track maintains a wistful tone outside of the chorus.

The chorus, however, boasts a truly grand melody, creating an excellent contrast with the A and B sections.

Because the tempo is slow and the vocal range isn’t excessively wide, this song is relatively easy to sing compared to many of Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s more challenging pieces.

The key point is the vocal delivery at the start of the chorus: make sure to articulate clearly, or it may come across as limp.

If the falsetto part in the latter half is difficult, it’s fine to sing the lower line of the double instead.

stardomMrs. GREEN APPLE

Mrs. GREEN APPLE - “Stardom” Official Lyric Video

The song “Stardom,” included on their self-released debut album Introduction and later re-recorded to open the best-of album 5, showcases the evolution from their early days through the end of Phase 1.

While the ensemble has a driving feel, the melody is more relaxed, with relatively little pitch fluctuation, making it easier to sing even for those who struggle to stay on pitch with karaoke backing tracks.

However, since there are sections with a high key, if you can’t hit those notes, be sure to lower the key to a comfortable range.

The song that blooms in the fieldsMrs. GREEN APPLE

Nonisakuuta

Noni Saku Uta, included as the coupling track on the second major single “Samama Festival!”, features a lively ensemble with memorable piano tones and a positive message that brightens your mood just by listening.

Since the key is relatively low and the vocal range isn’t wide, it should be easy to sing even for those who aren’t very confident in their singing.

However, because the melody has a fast rhythm and many interval leaps, be sure to learn it thoroughly before attempting it at karaoke.
