Spitz / Beyond the Purple Night

The way the scene gradually opens up from the darkness and the gentle melody befitting the end of the day really lingers in your ears, doesn’t it? Even while carrying pain and loneliness, the worldview of the lyrics—quietly trying to make it through the night—seems to gently stay close to the hearts of those of us living today.

Released in March 2021, marking the 30th anniversary of their major debut, this piece was written as the ending theme for TBS’s news program “news23.” It was later included on the album “Himitsu Studio.” Listening alone in the stillness of late night, reflecting on the day, you might even feel a faint hope for tomorrow.

[Vietsub] Spitz – I Want to Become a Cat (Neko ni Naritai – Spitz)

In 2017, the rock band Spitz celebrated the 30th anniversary of their formation, and they’ve continued to thrive at the forefront ever since.

The song “I Want to Be a Cat” is the B-side to their ninth single, “Aoi Kuruma” (“Blue Car”), released in 1994.

It’s highly popular among fans as a classic B-side and has also been included on an album.

Masamune Kusano’s gentle vocals make it a very easy-on-the-ears number.

Yet the lyrics also carry a faintly unsettling air, a sense of danger that makes your heart skip a beat.

Spitz / Spica

This is “Spica,” a song released in 1998 by the rock band Spitz.

It was issued as a double A-side single along with one of their signature songs, “Kaede.” Many of you have probably heard it, as it was used in JAL’s “Resocha” commercials and as an insert song in the anime Honey and Clover.

Although the song has a very gentle and soft atmosphere, its profound lyrics can unexpectedly bring you to tears.

Give it a listen when you’re feeling anxious or lonely.

Spitz / Sign of Love

Spitz is a four-piece rock band that has released numerous iconic J-pop hits representing the 1990s, such as “Robinson” and “Cherry.” The song “Ai no Shirushi,” included on their first special album Kachoufuugetsu, is known as a self-cover of a track they originally provided to PUFFY.

Its overall simple ensemble, including the guitar solo, makes it approachable to try, and because it’s a song almost everyone has heard at least once, it’s sure to spark a chorus of the hook at year-end and New Year parties.

With its pleasant, pop and catchy melody, it’s a timeless classic.

Spitz / Favorite Things

“Daikoubutsu,” the 45th single, was written as the theme song for the film What Did You Eat Yesterday? The Movie and released digitally in November 2021.

It’s a comforting pop tune with a warm yet slightly bittersweet melody that complements the story’s world, paired with a supple band sound.

The overall tempo is calm and the vocal range isn’t very wide, so it’s easy to sing at karaoke if you set the key to suit your voice.

The chorus melody avoids extreme high notes and complex runs, letting you sing comfortably while giving weight to the lyrics.

Later included on the album Himitsu Studio, this song reminds you of the importance of everyday life.

It’s perfect for singing while thinking of someone special—definitely a track to add to your repertoire.

Spitz / Shooting Star

This is the 20th single, released on April 28, 1999, and it’s a song they had performed since their amateur days.

With a relaxed arrangement, the repeated “shooting star” in the chorus lingers pleasantly in the ear.

Due to sound issues, it was later remixed.

Yoru o kakeru Spitz

A Spitz song that portrays an elopement born from a forbidden love.

Knowing theirs is a relationship no one will bless, it depicts a poignant night as the couple runs off into a world for just the two of them.

Aware that they’re connected not by a destined red thread, but by something far more fragile, they still try to believe in that bond alone—an attitude that leaves you with a sense of helpless sorrow.

The track was included on the classic album Mikazuki Rock, released in September 2002, and was later used as an insert song in an anime.

It’s a work that confronts you with the purity and peril of a love you’d uphold even while turning your back on the world, prompting deep reflection.
