I want to become a cat.supittsu

[Vietsub] Spitz – I Want to Become a Cat (Neko ni Naritai – Spitz)

In 2017, the rock band Spitz celebrated the 30th anniversary of their formation, and they’ve continued to thrive at the forefront ever since.

The song “I Want to Be a Cat” is the B-side to their ninth single, “Aoi Kuruma” (“Blue Car”), released in 1994.

It’s highly popular among fans as a classic B-side and has also been included on an album.

Masamune Kusano’s gentle vocals make it a very easy-on-the-ears number.

Yet the lyrics also carry a faintly unsettling air, a sense of danger that makes your heart skip a beat.

It’s a number brimming with the energy of being in love.

“Continues,” included as the B-side to the single “Koi,” which became a massive hit as the theme song for the drama We Married as a Job (Nigeru wa Haji da ga Yaku ni Tatsu).

One of Gen Hoshino’s charms is that he can effortlessly sing any kind of song, yet each track is profoundly rich and shows many different facets.

This is a song you’ll want to listen to while carefully reading the lyrics.

THE BLUE HEARTS – Chain Gang

THE BLUE HEARTS, who still remain a legendary presence in Japan’s punk rock scene.

This song, Chain Gang, was included as the B-side to their fourth single, I Want You to Kiss Me, released in 1987.

Rather than main vocalist Hiroto Kōmoto, it was guitarist Masatoshi Mashima who wrote, composed, and sang this track.

It’s said that Marcy created it while he was feeling despondent and self-destructive, and that bleak emotional state comes through vividly—making it a song many listeners are likely to relate to.
