Song of Springsupittsu
Spitz isn’t just a band that churned out a string of massive hits in the 1990s—they continue to shine in the 2020s as a top band with a truly one-of-a-kind presence.
Their songs, woven from a simple yet meticulously crafted, rock-solid ensemble, never rely on gimmicks, and yet no matter where you cut into them, they sound unmistakably like Spitz—that’s pretty amazing.
The song featured here, “Haru no Uta” (“Spring Song”), released in 2005, is a quintessential Spitz track, showcasing their strongest and most beautiful melody.
Masamune Kusano’s evergreen voice—he writes both the lyrics and the music—gently touches the softest parts of the listener’s heart, carried by the brisk shimmer of acoustic guitar.
That, too, is a uniquely Spitz kind of musical experience.
The lyrics drift with a springlike, nostalgic poignancy and carry a fable-like atmosphere; also note how the first-person pronoun is omitted.
Whether intentional or not, it seems to open up an even richer field for the imagination.
Farewell, YouthChatto Monchī
Chatmonchy is a rock band formed in 2000.
Their popular songs “Shangri-La” and “Kaze Fukeba Koi” were used as anime theme songs and in commercials.
The band’s charm lies in the pleasant blend of instruments unique to a band and vocalist Eriko Hashimoto’s sweet, gentle voice.
“Saraba Seishun” was released in 2017.
The lyrics contain memorable phrases, and the bittersweetness within the cute vocals lingers in your ears.
It’s a song that makes you think back to those days and reminisce about your own youth.

Mika Nakashima’s cherry blossom song evokes a bittersweet spring.
As the seasons change, the feelings between the two lovers also, before they know it, begin to change—telling a sad story.
The lyrics, woven in the uniquely beautiful expressions of Japanese, paired with piano tones that perfectly match the narrative, are truly tear-inducing.

After going through it, you have to set off again toward a new life.
But when you’re worn out, you can always spend happy times once more with your favorite friends in the places full of memories—this song conveys that in Ohara Sakurako’s gentle voice.
Lingering Snowiruka
The classic Showa-era folk song “Nagori Yuki” is a track I hope you’ll listen to in March, when it’s still cold but beginning to feel a bit like spring.
The way this song resonates may have changed between those days—before smartphones and cell phones were widespread—and now.
If you used to listen to it often, why not give it another listen today?

It’s a bit confusing, but during her time in I WiSH, what she released was “Ashita e no Tobira,” which is based on the original song “Tabidachi no Hi ni…”.
To the futureKiroro
“Mirai e” was released as their second single in 1998.
Today, it’s beloved by many as a classic graduation song.
