Recommended songs by Motoki Omori. His overwhelming vocal and expressive power are captivating even in his solo work (1–10)
0.2mmNEW!Ōmori Motoki
This song was produced as the theme for the film “90 Meters” and included on the mini-album “OITOMA,” released in February 2026.
Issued to commemorate Motoki Omori’s fifth anniversary as a solo artist, it departs from his band’s pop sound, unfolding instead as a piano ballad steeped in quietude.
Bearing a title that references the minuscule unit of 0.2 millimeters, its lyrics gently scoop up the beginnings of life and the delicate fragments of everyday memory.
The vocals, so subtle you can almost feel each breath, tenderly embrace themes of parent–child bonds and the joy of growth.
It’s a song you’ll want to play when lingering in the afterglow of the film, or on nights when you wish to quietly face your own heart.
FrenchNEW!Ōmori Motoki
Motoki Omori captivates countless fans with his overwhelming vocal prowess and expressive power.
The first step in his memorable solo career was French, the title track of the EP released digitally in February 2021.
Unlike Mrs.
GREEN APPLE, it bears a serene yet unsettling texture, featuring an abstract theme that evokes life and death, memory, and the premonition of loss.
The vocals leap from a gentle opening to soaring highs approaching falsetto and even whistle tones—truly his forte.
Its unique atmosphere, where order and chaos intermingle, is perfect for quiet nights when you want to delve deeply into your inner self.
It’s a track you’ll want to hear if you’re eager to discover a new side of him.
MidnightNEW!Ōmori Motoki
This is the title track of the digital EP that Motoki Omori released under his solo name in August 2021.
Unlike the vivid band sound of Mrs.
GREEN APPLE, the track stands out for its stylish dance-pop foundation.
It depicts a world where the silence of midnight is embraced as a playground for healing loneliness and facing oneself.
Throughout the song, falsetto and a wide range of vocal techniques are employed, allowing listeners to fully enjoy his overwhelming vocal prowess and expressive power.
Its introspective message, carried by an urbane beat, is perfect for nighttime relaxation or moments when you want to quietly look inward.
It’s a track well worth checking out for anyone who wants to experience a new facet of him as a solo artist.
Answer keyNEW!Ōmori Motoki
Among Motoki Omori’s solo songs, one track that strikes the heart with the raw power of pure emotion is “Kotaeawase.” Released in May 2025 as a digital-only single paired with “Kaiga/Kotaeawase,” the piece is a self-cover of a song originally written for the music segment of NHK Educational TV’s “Tensai Terebikun.” Within the same lyrics, it draws a striking contrast between the straightforward joy, anger, sorrow, and delight sung by children, and the nuanced emotional fluctuations sung by Omori as an adult.
The band sound—featuring Omori himself on drums and guitar—is also compelling.
Give it a listen when you lose sight of your own feelings in everyday relationships, or when you want to reconnect with the honest sensitivity of your childhood.
My soundNEW!Ōmori Motoki
This work carves more deeply into the inner life of an individual artist.
Riding on quiet accompaniment like piano, it delivers a gentle, heartfelt performance that expresses emotions swaying complexly between expectation and betrayal, and love and loneliness.
The struggle of facing the parts of oneself that can’t be put into words, and the earnest desire to connect with others, come straight through to the listener’s heart via a warm, tender voice.
It’s a track included on the EP “French,” released in February 2021, and the fact that Motoki Omori created it in his teens is a detail fans won’t want to miss.
It’s a song I can confidently recommend for spending a quiet night alone, or for anyone who wants something to gently stay close to feelings that defy words.
The shining thing grows darkNEW!Ōmori Motoki
Let me introduce a song that delicately portrays the questions one feels while growing from child to adult, and the emotions of facing loneliness.
As the second installment of Motoki Omori’s solo project, this piece closes out the album “Midnight,” released in August 2021, and is characterized by a quiet sound reminiscent of falling rain.
Through the contrast between light and darkness, it carries a profound message that questions the transience and meaning of life, with his overwhelming expressiveness and tender yet fleeting vocals resonating deeply.
Unlike a dazzling band sound, it’s imbued with an introspective, personal appeal.
It’s a work I especially recommend for quiet nights when you want to be alone with your thoughts or take a fresh look at yourself.
MapleNEW!Ōmori Motoki
Maple is a sweet love song that matches the gentle air of autumn.
Featured on Midnight, the digital EP by Mrs.
GREEN APPLE’s frontman Motoki Ohmori, it’s performed as a duet with singer-songwriter Miku Motomatsu.
In August 2021, it was also selected as the theme song for ABEMA’s dating show “Ashita mo Suki de Ite, Ii Desu ka?” With the two artists’ tender vocals, the track offers a soothing experience, and its lyrics, which express mutual reassurance in love and heartfelt gratitude, blend with the sound to create a warm atmosphere.
It’s healing to listen to alone, but even cozier when you play it with your partner.
