Motoki Ohmori – 'Memento Mori' Official Lyric Video

This song offers a gentle sound unique to solo work, setting it apart from the band’s dazzling pop.

While dealing with the universal theme of life and death, its message—brimming with affirmation of life and warmth—is beautifully conveyed through Motoki Omori’s expressively rich vocals.

Featured on the EP “French,” released in February 2021, the piece later became a picture book and will be adapted into a staged reading in December 2024, showing its expansive reach beyond the realm of music.

Within its quiet, introspective tone, a beautiful, Irish-tinged arrangement resonates pleasantly.

It’s a masterpiece to savor when you want to quietly face yourself alone, or on nights when you wish your heart to be gently held.

This is a solo track by Motoki Ohmori, released in April 2026 as the theme song for the 2026 season of the Nippon TV news program “news zero.” While Ohmori is known as the frontman of Mrs.

GREEN APPLE, this work showcases a kind of pop quite different from the band’s dazzling sound—imbued with quietude and tension.

It aligns with the show’s tone of taking in the day’s news and societal events, leaving a lingering aftertaste that feels gently placed at the end of the night.

His overwhelming expressive power, which carefully weaves emotions, remains intact, making this a recommended song for moments when you want to quietly face yourself at the close of the day.

Motoki Ohmori – “Painting” Official MV

Motoki Ohmori, known as the frontman of Mrs.

GREEN APPLE.

One track from his solo work—where he pursues a personal expression distinct from the band—is “Kaiga” (Painting).

Released for streaming in May 2025, it marks a new entry in his solo project, which resumed after about four years, and features a sound that incorporates elements of contemporary dance music.

It was released alongside “Kotaeawase,” a self-cover of a song he provided for NHK E-Tele’s “Tensai TV-kun.” The song depicts the conflict of being seen as a finished, perfected entity and a heartfelt desire to live with one’s own contours, with restrained, delicate vocals that resonate deeply.

It’s highly recommended for those who, while swayed by others’ gazes, still wish to affirm themselves, and for anyone who wants to experience his overwhelming expressive power in depth.
