Mrs. GREEN APPLE played the last shows of their ZENJIN MITO TO IM/MUTABLE stadium tour on July 4 and 5 at Tokyo’s MUFG Stadium (the National Stadium). The tour consisted of a total of six shows: four shows at MUFG Stadium, in April and July, and two shows in Osaka’s Yanmar Stadium Nagai in May. This made them the first band ever to put on four shows at MUFG Stadium (the National Stadium). The two shows at Yanmar Stadium Nagai and the two July shows at MUFG Stadium (the National Stadium) were exclusive shows, limited to members of the “Ringo Jam” fan club. ZENJIN MITO is Mrs. GREEN APPLE’s series of self-produced concerts, which the band began in 2014. The scale of the ZENJIN MITO shows has grown gradually since their first performance, and this was the first time for it to take the form of a stadium tour with four performances at the National Stadium. “ ZENJIN MITO ” is Japanese for “unprecedented,” and this tour was, indeed, an unprecedented feat. On the day of the July 4 Tokyo show, the high temperature was 27°C. The skies were covered by thick clouds, but the fears of potential rain did not manifest, and a cool breeze cut through the muggy air, making it a pleasant day. The stadium thronged with people—men and women, young and old alike. Many people came with children, a testament to Mrs. GREEN APPLE’s broad listener base. One minute before the show, a countdown appeared on-screen. The JAM’S (the name of Mrs. GREEN APPLE’s fans) shouted along, counting down, “10, 9,…0!” and then the show began. A dynamic computer-generated video depicted the great outdoors, with soaring birds and galloping animals such as giraffes, elephants, and lions. A tremendous cheer rose from the audience when Motoki Ohmori (vocals and guitar), Hiloto Wakai (guitar), and Ryoka Fujisawa (keyboards) appeared. The opening song was “Magic.” The JAM’S sang along to the powerful song, with its bright melody, and the performance was livened with colorful lighting and fireworks. You could tell Ohmori was loving it up on stage, calling out to the crowd, “ZENJIN! Are you ready to have fun? Can you hear us? Can you feel our love?!” “Magic” was followed by “I’m invincible” and “Stardom.” Then Ohmori spoke to the crowd again. “Welcome to ZENJIN MITO TO IM/MUTABLE ! Today, the National Stadium is reserved just for you fan club members!” Wakai hyped up the audience, shouting “JAMS, can I hear you get even louder!?” and Fujisawa joined in, saying “I’ve been looking forward to seeing you all! Are you ready for some fun?!” You could feel the connection between the band and the fans. Mrs. GREEN APPLE then performed songs from various stages of their history. During their performance of “StaRt,” which they released when making their major label debut in 2015, the audience joined in, singing the chorus and clapping their hands. Then there was “Avoid Note,” with its intricate and distinctive guitar riffs. “Apollodorus” showed off the band’s musical potential, including everything
