Bingkai Karya – Mrs. GREEN APPLE has officially released their latest single, “KUSUSHIKI,” on April 5, 2025, as part of a yearlong celebration marking the 10th anniversary of their debut. The highly anticipated track is the second commemorative release following a series of projects announced under the anniversary theme “MGA MAGICAL 10 YEARS.” The band, known for their genre-defying sound, continues to evolve creatively—this time by pushing the boundaries of what a music video can be.
Alongside the single’s release, the music video for “KUSUSHIKI” made its debut on the band’s official YouTube channel, offering fans a visually immersive experience. Unlike traditional videos, this one stands out for its entirely CGI-based production and intense wire action sequences. Set in a surreal, fictional world free from historical or cultural constraints, the video depicts dramatic battle scenes among the band members. The scale and ambition of the production elevate it to something more akin to a cinematic spectacle than a typical music video, showcasing the group’s commitment to innovation in both music and visual storytelling.
The song itself was written as the opening theme for The Apothecary Diaries Season 2 Cour 2, which began airing on April 4. The anime has garnered a devoted fanbase, and “KUSUSHIKI” adds emotional and dynamic depth to the series. With this release, Mrs. GREEN APPLE once again demonstrates their versatility, bridging the gap between anime culture and the contemporary music scene in Japan.
“KUSUSHIKI” arrives as a milestone in the band’s decade-long career. Since their debut, Mrs. GREEN APPLE has carved out a unique identity by blending elements of rock, pop, and experimental sound. Over the years, their music has reached wide-ranging audiences and crossed genre boundaries, earning critical acclaim and a loyal global following.
In addition to new music, Mrs. GREEN APPLE has laid out an ambitious lineup of events and releases to celebrate their anniversary. The upcoming best-of album titled “10” is scheduled for release on July 8, 2025, promising a curated collection of their most impactful work from the past decade. Following this, the band will hold a massive live concert event, “MGA MAGICAL 10 YEARS ANNIVERSARY LIVE 〜FJORD〜” on July 26 and 27 at Yamashita Pier in Yokohama, Kanagawa. The two-day event is expected to draw a combined audience of 100,000 fans.
Furthermore, the anniversary project includes nationwide collaborations with commercial facilities and the production of their very first documentary film, which will chronicle the band’s journey, challenges, and growth throughout the years.
With the release of “KUSUSHIKI” and a full slate of anniversary activities ahead, Mrs. GREEN APPLE continues to cement their legacy as one of Japan’s most imaginative and forward-thinking musical acts. Fans can look forward to more surprises as “MGA MAGICAL 10 YEARS” unfolds throughout 2025.
