SunSet Swish is a Japanese band formed in 2004 in Hirakata City, Osaka Prefecture. Originally known as Swish, they debuted as SunSet Swish in 2005 with their first single "Ashita, Waraeru You ni." The band's third single, "My Pace," released in 2006, earned them the New Artist Award and was featured as the ending theme for the anime "Bleach."

In 2007, their sixth single "Mosaic Kakera" was chosen as the ending theme for "Code Geass," further establishing their association with anime music. The band continued to release singles, including "I Love You" in 2008, which gained popularity as a commercial song.

SunSet Swish went on hiatus in 2011, during which time the members pursued individual activities. Vocalist Daisuke Saeki, for example, worked as a salaryman. The band resumed activities in 2015 with the self-produced single "Shiawase no Ito." From 2016 to 2017, they briefly changed their name to Swish! and released their first mini-album "Shaka" in 2018 under this name.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the band adapted by performing online concerts. They reverted to their original name in 2021 and released several digital singles. The band remains active, having conducted a live tour in 2022 and released new music, including the "ENCOUNT" album. SunSet Swish's music spans various genres, primarily focusing on pop-rock, and they have a significant following in the realm of anime soundtracks. [1] [2]
