Wyse (formerly stylized as "wyse") is a Japanese rock group that formed in 1999. Its members are Tsukimori Kenichi (月森), Yamamura Yoshihiro (HIRO), Moriyama Masayuki (MORI), and Makita Takuma (TAKUMA). In 2005 they broke up and gave out their last album entitled 19990214-20050213 only to come back together in 2011. It is said earlier when they first started they paid a lot of attention to their style like most Visual Kei bands but after a while they toned down on it.

Trivia
- Wyse is with the same recording company as Kyary Pamyu Pamyu, Warner Music Japan.
- In an interview when asked what members they would date if they were women replied with "MORI or HIRO." (Tsukimori), "None of them because I hate them all." (HIRO), "I would prefer myself because I'm a bit of a narcissist." (TAKUMA). MORI didn't reply but their ex drummer KENJI replied with "Tsukimori because I like him."
- When asked in the same interview what would they be if not for Wyse, Tsukimori replied with the silly answer "A dog."
- Wyse are best friends with the band Waive.
- Waive broke up the same year as Wyse and got back together also the same year as Wyse. Both bands also no longer have an official drummer.
- It is unknown whether they still consider themselves Visual Kei or not.
