SPITZ:::P:::Illustration Noju

A hidden gem by Spitz that brings Masamune Kusano’s voice to the forefront.

It’s a slow ballad centered on piano and is very easy to listen to.

With Spitz’s characteristically profound lyrics, it somehow leaves you feeling encouraged.

Not very well-known, but a great song.

Tried playing Spitz’s “Garakuta” [Fully recreated with just one acoustic guitar from Samena!?]

When I lost sight of how to live my life, this one song comforted me by telling me, “It’s okay to choose your own path!” There are many tough moments when you’re working as a member of society.

In times like that, let this song lift your spirits and help you find the motivation for tomorrow.

Cosmos

Among the songs by Spitz that colored the golden era of J-pop, this is the one you’ll want to listen to quietly on a long autumn night.

Its ethereal sound conjures up misty landscapes, and Masamune Kusano’s slightly husky voice makes the bittersweet melody stand out even more.

The piece portrays a protagonist parting forever from a loved one, moving forward while holding onto a promise.

It’s not just sad; there’s a sense of pure resolve in its worldview that really hits home.

Released to the world in November 1992 as the B-side to the single “Hinata no Mado ni Akogarete,” it was later included on the classic album “Kachoufuugetsu.” A perfect gem when you want to sink into a sentimental mood.

Spitz Comet full cover

It is included as the fourth track on Spitz’s album “Samenai,” released in July 2016.

It was chosen as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “HOPE: Kitai Zero no Shinnyū Shain” (HOPE: A New Employee with Zero Expectations).

As the title suggests, the drama tells the story of a unreliable protagonist who grows, and this song is a perfect, positive message that matches its content.

Kusano’s beautiful voice, the gentle melody, and the simple lyrics are deeply heartrending.

The guitar solo is very striking, and the retro sound is wonderful as well.

Though it’s a short song, it leaves you with a bittersweet yet tender feeling after listening.

Spitz / Teku-Teku

Released on April 20, 2005 as the 30th single, it was issued as a double A-side with “Spring Song.” Unlike their usual performances, this version features an arrangement using accordion and djembe.

The cute animated music video is also a must-see.

Hibiskus

When it comes to songs with a memorable piano intro, many people might think of this track.

Created by the four-piece rock band Spitz, formed in 1987, it is included on their album “Samenai,” released in July 2016.

Characterized by a fresh, melodious rock sound, it was also used in a commercial for Subaru’s SUV, the Forester.

The lyrics include phrases like “mistake” and “betrayal,” conveying themes of regret and sorrow.

With a title that evokes tropical flowers and interpretations that can suggest war or kamikaze units, it’s a song open to diverse readings.

Highly recommended for those seeking Japanese music with an impressive piano tone!
