Spitz / I Should Be Able to Fly in the Sky

It’s a hopeful anthem that sings of being able to spread your wings freely, even while carrying the anxieties of youth, as long as you’re with someone dear.

Released in April 1994 as Spitz’s eighth single, the song later became the theme for the TV drama “Shiroi Sen Nagashi,” drawing widespread attention.

It is also included on the acclaimed album “Sora no Tobikata.” The liberating lyrics and refreshingly soaring sound are its greatest charms.

The clear, radiant vocals and gentle melody are perfect for the open, carefree mood of a picnic.

Listen to it under a blue sky while unpacking your lunch, and your spirits are sure to lift!
