"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.
