Sharam Q (シャ乱Q Sharan Kyū?) is a Japanese rock band composed of lead singer Tsunku (つんく?), Hatake (はたけ?) on guitar, Makoto (まこと?) on drums and Taisei (たいせい?, , たいせー prior to 2006) on keyboards.
They debuted with "18kagetsu" (18ヶ月 18 months?) in 1992. They were not an instant hit initially, but their fourth single "Jōkyō Monogatari" (上・京・物・語 Tale of Going to the Capital?) broke the top 50 of the Oricon charts. Eventually, the single "Single Bed" (シングル ベッド?) got a lot of attention since it was used in the DNA^2 anime series, breaking into the top 10. The next single "Zurui Onna" (ズルい女?), also broke into the top 10. "Zurui Onna" is the 84th best-selling single in Japan of all-time. Their 11th single, "Namida no Kage" (涙の影 Shadow of Tears?), topped the charts in 1996.
