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.

Miso-ka (LIVE)supittsu

This song, themed around New Year’s Eve, is filled with the quintessential charm of Spitz.

It was released in July 2005 and included on the album “Souvenir.” Later, in 2006, it was also featured in a commercial for Aquarius.

It’s especially popular at Spitz’s live shows, where the powerful performance with thunderous double-bass drums is a highlight.

The lyrics, depicting a transition from darkness to light and symbolizing the start of a new year, leave a deep impression on listeners.

It’s a track many fans likely reach for during the year-end and New Year season.

That’s when I came across this song.

I took a few days off, got in the car alone, and set out on a trip while listening to it.

I felt liberated from everything—it was a truly happy time.

Modern society lives under stress.

We constantly feel pain and hardship.

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.
