Sunstrings was formed in 2012 by singer-guitarist Takuya Matsuda and drummer Saya. They're noted for their simple, direct melodies, and bold sound you wouldn't expect from a duo.

The band's name is a portmanteau of "sun" and "strings." Also, the Japanese pronunciation of the English word "sun" is the same as that of the Japanese number 3, so the name Sunstrings is also understood as meaning "3 strings."
The band chose this name in reference to Takuya's 3-string guitar and the simple melodies that form the basis of their songwriting.

The duo are influenced by 80s indie rock and 70s punk rock. In August of 2015, Sunstrings celebrated their third year as a band by releasing their first album, Green. They released the follow-up album, Orange, in September of the same year.
