Mrs. GREEN APPLE's "TV x Mrs." Goes Regular! Fans Rejoice, Doubling Monday Night Fun

Popular rock band Mrs. GREEN APPLE's flagship program, "TV x Mrs.," hosted by the band members, has been confirmed for regular broadcast on TBS-affiliated channels starting this April. On social media platform "X" (formerly Twitter), a flood of joyful and expectant messages has poured in from fans.

"TV x Mrs." was previously aired as special programs in June and November of last year, garnering high praise for its unique planning and the charm of its three members. The show's official account announced, "Following numerous positive reviews, it's becoming a regular series! ✨ As the title suggests, 'TV and Mrs. will genuinely collaborate'," sending fans into a frenzy of excitement for the long-awaited regular slot.

The broadcast will be every Monday at 9 PM, leading to comments that Monday nights will become even more fulfilling, especially when paired with "CDTV Live! Live!" and "Professional Ranking," a show presented by Kento Nakajima (which has hinted at a potential regular slot on Mondays at 10 PM). Many posts also expressed deep emotion, touching upon Motoki Oomori's "passion for television" and stating, "It's truly wonderful that they'll be delivering excitement and thrills through TV."

Many fans are exploding with joy, exclaiming, "I'm too happy ‧̫ ㅠ♥ My weekly enjoyment has increased, and my motivation is soaring! ✨💕💕," "Normally, I hate Mondays because of work, but I can work hard on Mondays for TV x Mrs.!!," and "Even depressing Mondays will be great with TV x Mrs. and their radio show!". They see the show as a new source of motivation to brighten the start of their week. Some nostalgic comments were also heard, like "It reminds me of how it used to be when I was a child ✨ It's nice to have such times again in the Reiwa era 👍," expressing hopes for warm, family-oriented viewing experiences like in the past.

On the other hand, some voices expressed concern for the busy schedule of a popular band, saying, "I'm happy, but I'm worried about their busyness and health 🥲," and "It really seems like Mrs. hasn't been getting enough rest... I'm happy, but...," showing care for the members' well-being.

Furthermore, requests for the show to be available on streaming platforms like TVer, similar to previous special broadcasts, were submitted, with comments such as, "I can't watch terrestrial TV, so please stream TV x Mrs. on TVer like before...!". There were also hopes for collaborations with other artists, like "I really want to see Mrs. GREEN APPLE interact with Chōtokkyū on TV x Mrs." and "TV x Mrs., please, please collaborate with [ALEXANDROS]???" These comments highlight the significant anticipation surrounding the program.

"TV x Mrs." is poised to create a new sensation on Monday nights. Starting this spring, the "excitement" delivered by Mrs. GREEN APPLE will unfold weekly in living rooms across the nation.

The context

Mrs. GREEN APPLE is an incredibly popular Japanese rock band known for their catchy tunes, thoughtful lyrics, and energetic performances. They have achieved mainstream success with numerous hit songs featured in anime, dramas, and commercials, making them one of the most prominent bands in Japan today.

A "kanbangumi" (冠番組), or "flagship program" (literally "crown program"), refers to a television show where a specific artist, celebrity, or group serves as the main host, implying their direct involvement and creative input. For Mrs. GREEN APPLE, this signifies a dedicated platform to showcase their personalities and creativity beyond their music.

TBS (Tokyo Broadcasting System) is one of Japan's major commercial television networks. "CDTV Live! Live!" is another popular live music program broadcast on TBS. The mention of other artists like Chōtokkyū and [ALEXANDROS] reflects the kind of high-profile collaborations fans are hoping for on the new show, as these are also well-known Japanese musical acts.

The requests for streaming on TVer are significant because not all viewers have access to terrestrial TV broadcasts or prefer to watch on demand. TVer is a popular free streaming service in Japan that offers catch-up viewing of many terrestrial TV programs. The nostalgic sentiment about families gathering around the TV reflects a cherished aspect of Japanese television culture, which fans hope to recapture with "TV x Mrs."
