[A Beautifully Mad Worldview] Amazing Lyrics! Spitz’s Masterpieces — The Masamune Kusano World (21–30)
Start walking, Cloversupittsu
This is a song included on the album “Honey.” It can be interpreted as a song that portrays life, using the clover—an emblem of happiness—as a point of reference.
It’s also well known that it was written after watching the film Forrest Gump.
Be sure to watch the movie and then listen to the song again—you might discover something new!

“8823” is a song included on the 2000 album “Hayabusa.” As the anecdote goes, it’s modeled after a manga character, and the striking line that only one person in the universe can set you free stands out.
It can also be taken as the ultimate love song, expressing in various ways a strong resolve that I am your hero.

This song was released as the coupling track to “Unmei no Hito” (“The One of Destiny”).
Its opening is the most striking, describing how being told “you two are always so close, that’s nice” somehow makes the singer feel blue.
It likely reflects the frustration of a boy stuck in a just-friends relationship, and can be taken as a song about unrequited love.
A superb masterpiece right from the beginning.
That gentle girlsupittsu
A single released in 2019 that also became the theme song for an NHK serial drama.
As with the drama, it’s well known that the lyrics are set in Hokkaido.
From the very beginning, a heavy door is opened, only to reveal an even darker path ahead.
By overcoming hardships, one encounters a world previously unknown.
Perhaps this is overlaid with the imagery of Hokkaido—finally meeting the summer sky after enduring a harsh winter?
fireflysupittsu
This song, released in 2004, seems to follow Spitz’s consistent theme of views on life and death.
At first glance it looks like a beautiful love song, but if you read it closely, the scattered words reveal that it’s actually about life.
What does the firefly, which also appears in the title, represent? It’s a song full of highlights.
I should be able to fly (in the sky).supittsu
It’s a well-known signature song by Spitz.
It’s a love song about youth, but here and there words like “knife” give it a subtly unsettling tone.
One interpretation is that the song uses adolescent sexuality as a motif.
Why not think about the deeper meaning behind its beautiful melody?
cherrysupittsu
A gem of a rock number with a refreshing melody that evokes the start of a new season and paints bittersweet memories of love.
Released by Spitz in April 1996, this song topped the Oricon chart in its fourth week and became a massive hit, selling a total of 1.613 million copies.
Its gentle, enveloping tune captures the sweet-and-sour memories of youth, while the members’ tight, cohesive performance weaves an exquisite harmony.
Masamune Kusano’s poetic lyrics portray a protagonist who accepts the end of a romance yet strives to move forward, resonating deeply with listeners.
It’s a song that quietly stays by your side as you carry the pain of heartbreak and still choose to step into the future.
