Nagisasupittsu1rank/position

Spitz / Nagisa

This is Spitz’s 14th single, released in 1996, and their first song to reach No.

1 on the Oricon charts.

It was used in the “Pocky Saka Koi Monogatari” commercial and was revived in 2015 as a CM song for the Subaru Forester, drawing renewed attention.

Vocalist Masamune Kusano, who wrote the lyrics and composed the music, has said it was a favorite of his—so much so that he “listened to it over and over again.” The poignant wish, sung in a voice full of clarity—“I want to stay forever immersed in a dreamlike happiness”—is deeply moving.

Song of Springsupittsu2rank/position

Spitz / Spring Song

As the intro with its gentle, cheerful warmth begins to play, you can’t help but feel your heart lift.

It’s also popular on TikTok as a BGM that signals the arrival of spring.

This track is a number by Spitz, a rock band with unshakable popularity.

It was originally included in January 2005 as the opening song of the album “Souvenir,” but after being selected for a Coca-Cola “Aquarius” commercial, it was released as a single in April of the same year.

The lyrics, which accompany a season where anxiety and anticipation intermingle, are sure to give a gentle nudge to those starting a new chapter in life.

If you walk through the city while listening to this song, the usual scenery might look just a little different.

Stargazersupittsu3rank/position

Spitz / Stargazer

Stargazer is a love song by Spitz, released in 2004.

Many people may know it as the theme song for Ainori.

Following Nagisa and Hibiscus, it was also used in a commercial for the Forester.

Its melodious, beautiful band sound feels like a shooting star might sparkle across the sky.

The lyrics, which earnestly portray the ache of love, make you think of someone dear and deepen the longing for those everyday, dreamlike moments.

It’s perfect for a drive, too! Masamune’s clear, translucent vocals somehow make your heart feel lighter.

Spitz - Mikke (Penguin doodle)

It’s the first track on the 2019 album “Mikke,” their first release in about three years.

Written and composed by Masamune Kusano, its poetic lyrics feel fantastical and gentle.

As the song used in an NTT East Japan commercial—NTT being a Gold Partner of the Tokyo 2020 Olympic and Paralympic Games—it conveys a sense of hope, as if people are connecting and moving toward the future.

Robinsonsupittsu5rank/position

Spitz / Robinson

Rather than having strong messages, Spitz’s songs convey an ordinary, everyday atmosphere, which makes the melodies and lyrics feel easy to take in.

“Robinson” is one of those.

As for the title, it seems that Masamune Kusano, the vocalist and lyricist, often came across the word “Robinson” at the time—like the film “Robinson’s Garden” or Robinsons department stores he saw while traveling—so it stuck with him.

Before you become a memorysupittsu6rank/position

Before You Become a Memory / Spitz

It was used for the “Ajinomoto Gift • Safflower Oil.” Apparently, it was the first song to enter the Oricon chart.

Perhaps it resonated because it faithfully conveyed the lyrics.

It sings of the complex, hard-to-part feelings of two people who are breaking up.

The sound has a nostalgic feel, like something I used to hear a little earlier than this.

Mahouno Kotoba

In the third installment of Universal Music’s Heisei-themed commercial series, three Spitz songs are featured, and this is the second one that plays.

Released in 2006, it was also used as the theme song for the film Honey and Clover, which came out the same year.

The lyrics, depicting two people whose hearts remain connected even when they can’t meet, are romantic and utterly enchanting.

Combined with Masamune Kusano’s beautiful vocals, it feels all the more dramatic.

Spitz / I Should Be Able to Fly in the Sky

It was released in 1994 as Spitz’s eighth single.

Chosen as the theme song for Fuji TV’s drama “Hakusen Nagashi,” it became Spitz’s first single to top the Oricon chart and achieved million-seller status.

Often sung as a graduation song, it was also used in a commercial for Kirin Beverage’s Namacha tea.

Spitz / Minato

It’s a song filled with the longing for a reunion, while recalling the days spent with someone who has departed.

The lyrics convey a blend of wistful sadness—repeatedly remembering those shared days and letting one’s thoughts drift at the harbor—and the hope for meeting again.

It’s a light, yet poignantly memorable melody.

cherrysupittsu10rank/position

Spitz / Cherry

A commercial themed around the Heisei era by Universal Music that aired in December 2025 featured songs by Spitz.

Three of their tracks play in the ad, with Cherry at the beginning.

Released in 1996, it’s one of their signature songs.

Its gentle melody and Masamune Kusano’s soft vocals are soothing to the heart.

Even nearly 30 years after its release, it feels perfectly at home in a commercial—truly a timeless classic.
