GrasshopperASIAN KUNG-FU GENERATION
Asian Kung-Fu Generation’s cover of “Grasshopper.” The intro and other parts largely follow Spitz’s version.
The main sonic differences are the swirling synthesizer and a slightly slower tempo.
But the biggest surprise is that the chorus isn’t sung by Gotch—guitarist Kensuke Kita takes the lead.
This gives it an unmistakable Masamune Kusano-from-Spitz vibe! Originally included on a tribute album, this cover exudes deep respect for the original.

The album is infused with indie rock elements, characterized by emotional lyrics and energetic performances.
It’s a highly recommended listen for those who want to revisit their youth or are looking for lyrics that resonate with the heart.
