Mrs. GREEN APPLE has been selected to perform the theme song for NHK's upcoming morning drama series "Kaze, Kaoru" (Wind, Fragrant), which premieres March 30.

The band's new song "Kaze to Machi" (Wind and Town) will serve as the opening theme for the show. This marks another major television tie-up for the popular rock band, continuing their streak of high-profile collaborations with Japanese media.

NHK's morning dramas, known as "asadora," are a beloved institution in Japanese television. These 15-minute episodes air Monday through Saturday mornings and typically run for six months, drawing millions of viewers daily. Landing a theme song spot for an asadora is considered a significant achievement for any artist, as these shows often introduce music to a broad, multigenerational audience.

Mrs. GREEN APPLE has built a reputation for crafting memorable theme songs that perfectly capture the essence of the programs they accompany. The band, known for their melodic rock sound and vocalist Motoki Omori's distinctive voice, has previously provided music for various dramas and films.

While details about "Kaze, Kaoru" remain limited, the pairing of Mrs. GREEN APPLE's emotional songwriting with an NHK morning drama promises to deliver a compelling musical backdrop for the series. The song title "Kaze to Machi" suggests themes that likely align with the drama's title and setting.

Fans can expect to hear "Kaze to Machi" when "Kaze, Kaoru" begins its run on March 30, bringing Mrs. GREEN APPLE's music to one of Japanese television's most watched time slots.
