Needless to say, Spitz have countless masterpieces and are hugely popular at karaoke, but many people feel intimidated by melodies sung in Masamune Kusano’s clear, high-tone vocals.

The 2001 release Haruka introduced here is, of course, sung in a range that can be tough for those who can’t hit high notes, but the melodic rises and falls aren’t that drastic and the line stays relatively steady, so lowering the key makes it quite manageable even for lower voices.

If you find yourself struggling partway through the soaring chorus, I recommend learning to sing with proper diaphragmatic breathing to avoid straining your throat.

This is a track by Spitz featuring exhilarating, fast-paced guitar sounds.

The song portrays a tenuous yet powerful bond between two people drawn together by fate.

It carries a buoyant sense of excitement—like they’re stretching just a bit, yet filled with confidence about the future—that lifts the listener’s spirits as well.

After being included on the album “Sora no Tobikata” (How to Fly in the Sky), it was released as a single in October 1994 in response to radio buzz.

With its refreshing, breeze-like energy, it’s a perfect companion for a drive.

A digital-only single by Spitz, released in June 2020.

Even among high-tone singers, there are many different types, but Spitz’s vocalist Kusano has a very gentle and beautiful voice that delivers high notes wonderfully.

This song is no exception: Kusano’s warm, clear vocals add a rich hue to the track’s tender atmosphere.

It’s a top recommendation for anyone looking for a male vocal song with gentle high tones!

Minato, with its dazzling yet wistful soundscape, is the 41st single released in 2016.

It’s a quintessential Spitz song—nostalgic, tinged with melancholy, and a track whose words slowly seep into you.

While evoking various scenes and stories at a harbor, it invites you to ‘pause for a moment and look back.’ It feels like a song that stays close to you at such times.

Just before the last chorus, a whistle enters, adding a striking sense of depth; this part features Wataru Sawabe from the band Skirt.

You might feel the hope and future that the whistling opens up.

It’s a classic that serves as a guidepost for starting anew, steeped in fond memories.

This heartwarming melody might be just right for the slightly chilly air of late autumn.

Its allure lies in a passionate yet gentle worldview that vows never to let go of the bond with a loved one.

The image in the lyrics of a small red light the two protect together feels like a warmth that quietly stays by your side as the season grows colder.

Released in January 1997 and used as the theme song for the drama “Melody” starring Kyoko Koizumi, the song reached No.

1 on the Oricon charts.

Give it a listen on a November night when you’re feeling a little lonely!

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.

The 29th single, chosen as the theme song for the drama “Medaka.” Released by the rock band Spitz in 2004, it’s a song that has been loved for many years.

Its melodious acoustic sound and strings really resonate with the heart.

In contrast to its grand sound, the lyric—like a short story depicting everyday life—is also captivating.

It delicately captures sentimental emotions, tightening your chest with a sweet ache.

Pay attention as well to the arrangement that evokes ’90s UK rock.

It’s a song that makes you feel like you can take a small step forward while holding onto expectations for a dreamlike reality.
