SiM” - A four-member (or last time we used four-piece) reggae punk band from Shonan, Kanagawa, Japan.

“We're a band that was born in a live house, grew up in a live house, we'll die in a live house.” With sold-out large solo performances at the Nippon Budokan and Yokohama Arena as well as organized the outdoor festival “DEAD POP FESTiVAL” for 20,000 people, SiM has risen to the top of the rock scene by “breaking convention from the inside” both in name and action, headlining at large outdoor rock festivals across the country.

In 2022, the transfer of the record company to PONY CANYON was announced. The newly written song ‘The Rumbling’ was released as the theme song for “Attack of Titan” Final Season Part 2 which won the No.1 spot on the US Billboard chart 7 times in a row.

In 2023, the theme song for anime “Attack on Titan” Final Season THE FINAL CHAPTERS Special 1, ‘UNDER THE TREE’ was released which exceeded 10 million streams within 10 days, sweeping the world's music charts.

They have successfully signed a contract with an overseas management/label, and in June, they performed their first UK festival captivating an audience of more than 10,000 people. Furthermore, their sell-out headline performance in London amassed huge excitement.
