Mrs. GREEN APPLE will provide the Japanese theme song for the film 'Spider-Man: Brand New Day,' which opens in Japan and the US on July 31. The band's new track, 'Brand New,' was written and composed by vocalist and guitarist Motoki Ohmori. It will play over the end credits of the Japanese dubbed version. The collaboration was announced via a video message from Marvel Studios President Kevin Feige. The band members visited Sony Pictures Studios in Los Angeles in February to meet with Feige, producer Amy Pascal, and music supervisor Dave Jordan. They also held online meetings with director Destin Daniel Cretton. Feige said the band is his favorite and that he felt their love for Spider-Man during discussions in LA and Tokyo. Ohmori said he wanted to convey the love and significance of the Japanese theme song as a fan of the MCU. The song's chorus includes the phrase 'I love you no saki e' (beyond I love you), inspired by the hand sign Spider-Man makes when shooting webs, which is also a global sign for 'I love you.' The film is set four years after 'Spider-Man: No Way Home' and follows a lonely Peter Parker facing a new threat.
During the February meeting in Los Angeles, Feige directly shared confidential plot details about the film with the band and made specific requests for the theme song's direction. He had listened to Mrs. GREEN APPLE's songs in advance and reportedly discussed his favorite tracks with them. When Feige later visited Japan, he contacted Omori directly and met with him again.
Feige called the band "my favorite band" and said he had become a full-fledged member of their fandom, known as "JAM'S." He commented, "We had in-depth discussions in LA and Tokyo, and I felt their love and passion for Spider-Man. I am truly honored to feel their passion for the new song." Feige heard the song early and gave it his approval, saying, "I can't wait for everyone to hear it."
Mrs. GREEN APPLE have won the Japan Record Award three consecutive times and ranked 13th in the 2025 global best-selling artist ranking. They have also won the Best Artist Award at MUSIC AWARDS JAPAN for two consecutive years. The band has publicly called themselves huge Spider-Man fans since their debut. Omori said the collaboration came at the perfect moment, with both Spider-Man's new chapter and the band's own new phase (their "Phase 3") opening at the same time.
