This is a sea-themed song by Spitz, a band known for soothing music.
The sea that Spitz depicts isn’t a glittering one, but rather evokes the image of a quiet ocean just before the gentle sunrise.
For some reason, a calm sea makes you feel at ease, so I think it’s perfect for healing.
Sea, That LoveKayama Yūzō
Yuzo Kayama, an actor and singer affectionately known as “Waka Daisho” (the Young Boss).
His song “Umi Sono Ai” is a ballad that makes full use of his deep, mellow voice.
Released in 1976, it became a classic that he also performed at the 29th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen in 1978.
While it carries the mood of 1970s kayōkyoku, it still moves the heart even today—truly an indomitable masterpiece among songs themed around the sea.
Listen to it and feel the grandeur of the deep ocean with your whole being!

A grand, atmospheric ballad by Remioromen that depicts a sea-themed love story.
The track is included on the album ‘ether,’ which also features well-known songs like ‘March 9th’ and ‘Minamikaze (South Wind).’ It begins with a gentle sound centered on piano tones, as if facing one’s own heart, and then unfolds into a sweeping soundscape that suggests emotions growing stronger.
It’s a warm piece that seems to express vast nature—like the expansive sea and winds that sweep through—and a rich inner spirit that resonates in response.

It feels packed with a spectrum of summer emotions—like the heat of the season and the passionate pursuit of love.
UMITEE
This is a track by TEE that evokes the calm yet wistful mood of the ocean at dusk.
It’s one of the songs from the concept album “Golden 8,” in which artists he respects handle production; this particular track was produced by the vocal duo C&K.
The sound, infused with Hawaiian and reggae elements, conveys both the passion and the gentle atmosphere of the summer sea, and it gives the impression that TEE’s vocals are particularly highlighted.
While the song’s content carries a tinge of bittersweetness, as if reflecting on ocean memories that aren’t only joyful, the gentle ambiance and TEE’s singing still convey a sense of joy.
