Mrs. GREEN APPLE – About Me

A masterful song by Mrs.

GREEN APPLE that captivates with its grand rock ballad sound and heartfelt lyrics.

It gently asks what it means to live true to yourself, and how your own existence becomes visible through differences with others.

Its warm perspective resonates deeply, standing by those who, despite anxiety and loneliness, strive to move forward step by step.

Released in January 2019, it stirred the hearts of many as the support song for the 97th All Japan High School Soccer Tournament.

From November 2022, an orchestral arrangement was also featured in Otsuka Pharmaceutical’s CalorieMate “Support for Exam Takers” commercial series, showcasing a new charm.

It’s a song you’ll want to listen to when you stand at a crossroads in life, when you feel you might lose your way, or when you want to encourage someone dear to you.

Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s “Natsu no Kage,” loved by every generation, is a quintessentially summery song that conjures up lush, green natural scenery as you listen.

Among Mrs.

GREEN APPLE’s tracks, it doesn’t demand belted high notes and the overall range is relatively modest, so I think it’s easy to sing even for junior high schoolers dealing with voice changes.

The overall vocal range is B2–A4, and it’s best if you can start by using plenty of breath and sing gently and lightly.

For the falsetto just before the chorus, try switching as if you’re humming rather than forcing it—this helps you sing smoothly without strain.

From the chorus onward, projecting your voice forward will help stabilize your chest voice.

Overall, aim to use steady breath, avoid tension, and sing gently.

Like Omori-san, keeping your eyebrows lifted and your facial muscles raised makes it easier to stay on pitch and sing lightly.

Mrs. GREEN APPLE “Heaven” Official Music Video

A soul-stirring song performed by Mrs.

GREEN APPLE.

Released in May 2025 as their 17th single, it also serves as the theme song for the film “I Will Tell You the Truth,” starring Motoki Omori.

This piece lays bare both the purity inherent in humanity and the shadows that lie behind it, posing profound questions to the listener’s heart.

It begins with a hush reminiscent of a cathedral, unfolds dramatically like a story, and fades away as if vanishing into thin air—an arc that seems to mirror our very lives.

Its unpredictable turns are sure to capture anyone’s heart and move them to tears.

It’s a song that gently gives you a push when you want to face your own emotions.

Seeds of Delight

This song was first unveiled as a secret track on the venue-limited mini-album “Introduction” on July 5, 2014, and later officially included on July 8, 2025, in the 10th anniversary best album “10,” making it a once-lost track! The melody line is gentle and sung with clear enunciation, so even beginners should find it easy to match the pitch bar.

For the verses (A-melody to B-melody), speak carefully and make sure your voice is firmly carried by the mic.

Also, the chorus kicks in around the 3-minute mark, and the overall energy ramps up significantly.

There should be ample opportunities to breathe between phrases, so take a solid breath for each phrase and use that air to project your voice as you exhale.

If you tense up, you’ll end up chest-breathing instead of using your diaphragm, which can make it uncomfortable—so stay calm and breathe steadily!
