Mrs. GREEN APPLE played the final shows of their ZENJIN MITO TO IM/MUTABLE stadium tour on July 4 and July 5 at Tokyo’s MUFG Stadium, also known as the National Stadium. The two evenings marked the culmination of a six‑show itinerary that began earlier in the year and spanned three different venues.
The tour comprised four dates at the National Stadium – two in April and two in July – and two additional concerts at Osaka’s Yanmar Stadium Nagai in May. By delivering four performances at the National Stadium, the band became the first act ever to achieve that milestone at the venue. All four July shows at the National Stadium, together with the two Osaka concerts, were limited to members of the “Ringo Jam” fan club, making them exclusive events for the most dedicated followers.
A Record-Setting Run
“ZENJIN MITO” translates to “unprecedented,” a fitting description for a series that started as a modest self‑produced concert in 2014 and has steadily expanded in scale. This year’s stadium leg represented the first time the concept took on a full‑blown stadium format, underscoring the band’s growing reach and the fervor of its fan base. The July 4 show unfolded under a high temperature of 27 °C, with thick clouds overhead that held back any rain and a cool breeze that softened the muggy air, creating a comfortable atmosphere for the crowd.
The stadium was packed with men, women, young fans and seniors, many of whom arrived with children, reflecting the broad appeal of the group. Just before the performance began, a countdown appeared on the giant screen and the JAM’s – the nickname for the band’s supporters – shouted the numbers in unison, building anticipation for the opening act.
ZENJIN! Are you ready to have fun? Can you hear us? Can you feel our love?!
— Motoki Ohmori, vocalist and guitarist
The opening number, “Magic,” launched the night with a bright melody, colorful lighting and fireworks that drew a thunderous cheer from the audience. The set then moved through “I’m invincible” and “Stardom,” each song amplified by the band’s energetic interaction with the crowd. Mid‑set, Ohmori addressed the fan club directly, saying, “Welcome to ZENJIN MITO TO IM/MUTABLE! Today, the National Stadium is reserved just for you fan club members!”

Guitarist Hiloto Wakai and keyboardist Ryoka Fujisawa added to the excitement, urging the JAM’s to raise their voices even higher and expressing their own anticipation for the night’s fun. The band also revisited earlier milestones, performing “StaRt,” a track they originally released when they made their major‑label debut in 2015, linking the present concert to their early career.
Overall, the ZENJIN MITO stadium tour illustrated how a self‑produced series that began in 2014 can evolve into a landmark event, drawing thousands of fans to a historic venue and setting a new benchmark for live performances in Japan.
