Wandering Sun (さすらいの太陽, Sasurai no Taiyo^?) was a televised anime series created, written and directed by Kaisuke Fujikawa, and which ran for 26 episodes in 1971. Both Yoshiyuki Tomino and Yasuhiko Yoshikazu were involved in the production of Wandering Sun, and would later team up for the ground-breaking and genre defining series Mobile Suit Gundam.

Wandering Sun tells the story of two girls switched at birth (one rich, Miki, and one poor, Nozomi), who compete to become successful singers after meeting at high-school.

The TV series was also released in Italy under the title Jane e Micci and in France as Nathalie et ses Amis.
