"Sunshine Girl" is Japanese band Moumoon's 8th single, released on May 12, 2010.[2] It achieved success after a high-profile commercial campaign for Shiseido's Anessa range of sunblock cosmetics. It is currently Moumoon's only top 10 single, and their most successful single in terms of physical copies sold[3] and digital certifications (it is the only Moumoon song to receive a certification by the RIAJ).
An English-language version with the same arrangement was released on the group's EP Spark later in 2010.
Promotion[edit]
The song was first unveiled in Shiseido commercial campaign for Anessa, starting on March 19.[4] The song was also later used in commercials for Sony Ericsson's Xperia smartphones,[5] and was one of the songs used in Sony's bid for the Guinness World Records' award for greatest number of different commercials played in a single television show selling the same product.[6]
The song was performed at Music Station on July 30.[7]
