sumika

Sumika (stylized as sumika) is a Japanese rock band from Kawasaki, Kanagawa which is affiliated with Sony Music Entertainment Japan. The band formed as an indie rock band in 2013, before being signed to a major label in 2018. The band is also known as Sumika during live performances, which are known for including performances by non-musicians such as filmmakers, photographers, painters, sculptors, architects, potters, and poets. The band's music has also been featured in the anime series Wotakoi: Love is Hard for Otaku and the anime film I Want to Eat Your Pancreas.

Sumika was formed in Kawasaki, Kanagawa in May 2013. The group's name is derived from the Japanese word sumika (すみか, residence), and refers to the desire of its members to consider the band as their "house" or their "room". The original members were Kenta Kataoka, Junnosuke Kuroda, and Tomoyuki Arai. Takayuki Ogawa, who had previously performed with the group as a guest member, joined the group full-time in 2015.

Sumika debuted in 2013 with the release of their first mini-album Shinsekai Orichalcum (新世界オリハルコン) in October of that year. Their second mini-album I Co Y was released in November 2014 and peaked at number 59 on the Oricon weekly charts. Their third mini-album Vital Apartment was released in June 2015 and peaked at number 32 on the Oricon weekly charts. In 2016, they released the single "Lovers/Dengon Uta" (Lovers/「伝言歌」), the mini-album Answer Parade (アンサーパレード), and the extended play "Sally". In 2017, they released their first full-length album Familia, which peaked at number 5 on the Oricon weekly charts and charted for 41 weeks.
