Mrs. GREEN APPLE to Perform Japanese Theme Song for Spider-Man: Brand New Day
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.
