Japanese pop-rock band Mrs. GREEN APPLE has released its sixth full-length studio album, POPS, on September 30, 2026.
The release marks the beginning of what the band is calling “Phase 3.”
The album arrives through EMI Records / Universal Music Japan and represents another major step in the band's continuing evolution.
Rather than treating POPS simply as another album, the band has positioned the project as the opening of a new period.
That framing gives the release a broader narrative: listeners are not only receiving a collection of songs, but also being introduced to the next stage of the band's creative identity.
Mrs. GREEN APPLE has developed a sound that moves between Japanese pop, rock, orchestral color and highly produced contemporary arrangements.
The title POPS places the idea of pop music directly at the center of the new album.
For guitar players, that makes the release interesting because the band's arrangements often combine accessible melodic structures with detailed production.
Japanese music has become increasingly accessible internationally through streaming platforms, anime, social media and global fan communities.
Mrs. GREEN APPLE is one of the acts benefiting from that environment.
A new full-length release therefore has potential relevance beyond Japan, particularly for listeners discovering Japanese pop-rock through individual songs.
With POPS, Mrs. GREEN APPLE begins a new chapter under the banner of “Phase 3.”
The album is relevant not only as a current Japanese release but also as an opportunity to connect international music discovery with practical chord and song content.
