Universal Music LLC (Headquarters: Shibuya-ku, Tokyo; President and CEO: Naoshi Fujikura / hereafter, Universal Music) will distribute Mrs. GREEN APPLE's new song 'Kaze to Machi' starting Monday, April 13. Recently, at the event 'PMGA SUMMIT about PHASE-3' commemorating the 10th anniversary of their official fan club 'Ringo Jam', Motoki Ohmori personally announced plans including an FC arena tour covering 13 locations nationwide with 28 performances this autumn, as well as live event concepts extending through 2029. This work is the second new song of Phase 3, following 'lulu.' released in January. It was written as the theme song for the NHK serial TV novel (morning drama) 'Kaze, Kaoru' (Wind, Fragrance), which has been broadcasting since Monday, March 30. The universal theme of the 'Town'—which changes while being continuously inherited—and the 'Wind'—which is always there unchanging—is woven together with a graceful melody.

This allows fans to listen to 'Kaze to Machi' with the members, hear their talk, and participate in the party chat. This is Mrs. GREEN APPLE's first-ever listening party.
