Masterpieces by Spitz: A list of recommended popular songs and signature tracks

Let me introduce songs by Spitz, one of Japan’s most iconic national rock bands.

Spitz is a four-member band that has been active since 1987, and they’ve continued with the original lineup since their formation.

The band originally grew out of a group that Masamune Kusano, the vocalist and guitarist, played in during his student days.

Interestingly, that earlier band was a punk rock band, quite different from what they’re known for now.

They also have roots in heavier genres like metal.

Given their strong association with gentle, ballad-like songs such as “Robinson” and “Sora mo Toberu Hazu” (“I Should Be Able to Fly in the Sky”), that might come as a bit of a surprise.

With that, please enjoy Spitz’s music—where the quiet leaves a strong impression precisely because of the intensity they keep beneath the surface.

Spitz’s classic songs: A list of recommended popular and signature tracks (61–70)

Gerberasupittsu

This ballad was recorded as the B-side to the single “Sawatte, Kawatte” during the period in 2001 when they brought producer Seiji Kameda on board and set things in motion.

With Kusanō’s airy vocals blending into a spacious, atmospheric sound, it’s the kind of ballad that soothes you when you’re zoning out, lost in thought, or feeling sentimental—don’t you think?

Moonlightsupittsu

It’s a song that gives me a push, like a mother gently encouraging you when times are tough.

The longer I’m alone, the more easily I feel the pain.

In those moments, try remembering this song.

Those painful feelings are sure to fade away.

Among Spitz’s songs, this winter-themed track stands out for its uniqueness.

The lyrics skillfully depict natural scenery and leave a strong impression by stimulating the listener’s senses.

Chosen as the ending theme for TV Tokyo’s Drama 24 series “Inconvenient Convenience Store,” it was released as a digital single in April 2015.

Through elements of nature such as snow and wind, it delicately expresses the human inner world and emotions.

It’s a piece that fully showcases Masamune Kusano’s distinctive worldview.

Recommended for moments when you’re shivering in the winter cold yet want to feel a warm light glowing in your heart.

It will surely stay close to your soul.

Masamune Kusano’s clear vocals and the overall atmosphere of the track help lift your spirits.

Song of Springsupittsu

Spring—the season that’s lukewarm and smells like beginnings.

I swore, with a fresh resolve in my heart, to pursue my dreams with everything I had.

But leaving my familiar hometown to make a new start was tough.

In those moments, listening to this song, I felt the feelings of the people who saw me off with a “goodbye,” and I just kept moving forward.

Japan Coca-Cola Aquarius (♪ Spitz) Hidetoshi Nakata (2006)

This commercial conveys a sense of dynamism through the image of Hidetoshi Nakata excelling in soccer, while also communicating that hydration is essential in sports.

The sweat from his continuous running is vividly depicted, and the appearance of Aquarius reinforces the intention to support sports through proper hydration.

The music that further emphasizes the energy and refreshing atmosphere of the visuals is Spitz’s “Misoka.” The forward-leaning band sound that evokes the image of pressing ahead, harmonized with the gentle vocals layered over it, powerfully conveys a refreshing feel.

If a harsh winter comes, a warm spring will surely follow.
