Here is a ranking of Spitz’s popular songs.

Spitz Popular Song Rankings [2026] (1–10)

Spitz’s songs are generally high in key.

In vocal training, “Kaede” is by far the most popular.

Of course, there are tricky parts like the long notes in the chorus and the high range, but since the tempo itself is calm and unhurried, if you take solid breaths and stay mindful of timing and vocal attack, it’s quite singable.

Many people can inhale with diaphragmatic breathing but struggle to exhale, which is a shame given how much air they take in.

Does it make sense if I say: exhaling = projecting your voice far away? Picture a large space with someone far off, and try singing by sending your voice straight to that person.

If your timing clicks, your voice should come out pleasantly.

Originally written for a television drama, this is the eighth single by the four-piece rock band Spitz.

Released in April 1994, it initially saw modest chart performance, but when it was later chosen as the theme song for the 1996 Fuji TV drama “Hakusen Nagashi,” it returned to the spotlight and became a million seller.

The song delicately depicts the turbulence of adolescence, a sense of awe toward an unseen, greater presence, and the budding conviction of freedom that arises when there’s someone who accepts you—all carried by Masamune Kusano’s clear, translucent vocals and a gentle guitar ensemble.

Not only sweet feelings of love but also the harshness of reality and the ache of loneliness seep through, and yet the protagonist’s determination to look ahead makes your heart swell.

Beloved as a graduation song, it’s a track that brings back memories as spring arrives.

As the season of new beginnings approaches, why not listen to it quietly and let it wash over you?

This hallmark track by Spitz weaves together a refreshing melody and wistful harmonies with exquisite balance, gently resonating with listeners’ hearts.

One of its biggest draws is the room it leaves for listeners to map it onto various life moments, like meetings and farewells.

Released in April 1996 as their 13th single, it’s also included on the classic album Indigo Chiheisen.

It garnered support from the outset and became a million seller.

The song continues to be widely heard in the media, including its use in NTT East Japan’s commercials that began airing in 2019.

It’s perfect for enjoying a drive in the warm spring air.

Highly recommended both for those who want to feel positive as they step into a new chapter of life and for those who want to bask in a touch of nostalgia.

Tried my best to play Spitz’s “My Angel Mari” [bass cover]
My angel, Marisupittsu

A love song whose expressions are so straightforward they verge on madness, striking you to the core.

“My Angel Mari” is a track from Spitz’s third album, “Pieces of the Planet,” and it boldly proclaims feelings for a beloved over an up-tempo, country-tinged sound.

The protagonist is so captivated by this sweet yet elusive woman that it could be called blind infatuation.

Why not project your own feelings—where the ache of unrequited love intertwines with obsession—onto this protagonist and take your time immersing yourself in its world?

Spitz is a four-piece rock band that has captured hearts for many years with their crystal-clear vocals and tight band ensemble.

Their 11th single—one of their signature songs—was a massive hit released in April 1995.

In addition to being used as the ending theme for the variety show “Imada Koji no Shibuya-kei Uraringo,” it was also featured the following year as an insert song in the drama “Hakusen Nagashi,” among other tie-ins.

The lyrics are enchanting, expanding from everyday scenes to a universe-like scale in an instant.

The moment that memorable arpeggiated guitar intro starts, memories from those days will come rushing back.

It’s the perfect song for anyone who wants to bask in nostalgia together at events or gatherings.

Song of Springsupittsu6rank/position

This is a number with a refreshingly memorable melody that I can’t help but want to listen to when I feel the spring breeze.

The lyrics, which capture the wavering of the heart on the way from winter to spring—not only hope but also a touch of chill—will gently accompany those of you standing at the milestone of entering high school.

Released in April 2005 as their 30th single, it’s also included on the album “Souvenir.” You probably know it as the song used in commercials for Japan Coca-Cola’s Aquarius and Lotte’s Ghana Chocolate.

Spitz’s characteristically universal melody and Masamune Kusano’s clear, transparent vocals give you the courage to take a new step forward.

As you embark on a slightly more grown-up high school life, on your commute where anticipation and anxiety mingle, listen to this track and let it lift your spirits!

Give it a listen first thing on a sunny summer morning.

It’s a song by Spitz, the popular band known for signature tracks like “Sora no Tobikata” and “Robinson.” Released in March 2006 as their 25th single, its lyrics, which capture the dynamics of a romantic relationship, leave a strong impression and express a leap into a new future.

Blending Masamune Kusano’s distinctive worldview with a beautiful melody, it’s a track that fuses pop and rock.

Be sure to experience this wonderful music for yourself.

This is a song by Spitz that drew major attention as the theme for the film Detective Conan: Black Iron Submarine.

Released in April 2023 as their 46th single, it debuted at No.

1 on the Oricon Weekly Single Rankings.

It’s easy to believe the story that Masamune Kusano delved deeply into the film’s script to write the song—the result resonates profoundly with the narrative.

The poetic worldview, evoking an image of someone swimming powerfully forward while carrying their wounds—wounds that become part of their individuality—feels quintessentially Spitz.

Its popularity is also growing as a staple summer song of the Reiwa era.

With its crystal-clear sound and an uplifting chorus, it’s perfect for summer drives.

Brimming with kindness that seems to nudge children forward as they step into the future on their own, it’s a true gem of a song.

Before you become a memorysupittsu9rank/position

A ballad that represents Spitz’s early years, portraying the earnest moments of two people nearing a breakup with a beautiful melody.

Released in October 1993 as a re-cut single from the album “Crispy!”, this song was used as the theme for the lifestyle program “Motto Suteki ni!” and is also known for being the band’s first entry on the Oricon charts.

In 1997, it was featured in a commercial for Ajinomoto gift sets, and it has been cherished ever since.

The lyrics capture the helpless loneliness and gentle gaze before the “you” by one’s side becomes a distant presence—feelings that might seize your heart.

Why not listen quietly on a night when you want to get sentimental and reflect on past loves?

Released in June 2019 as the theme song for the NHK morning drama series Natsuzora, this was their 42nd single.

The track later went on to open the album “Mikke.” Its worldview—juxtaposing the harsh winters of Tokachi, Hokkaido, where the drama is set, with the beauty of the summer that follows—leaves a strong impression.

The vastness of the sky that Masamune Kusano felt during his visit there is brilliantly distilled into a sprightly rhythm and a warm, embracing band sound.

Widely loved, the song earned the band their first No.

1 on the Oricon Weekly Digital Singles Chart.

With its easy-to-remember melody, it’s a perfect pick not only for your morning commute to work or school, but also for singing at karaoke.
