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.

When I was working as a new employee, every day was filled with worries.

I genuinely wanted to quit many times.

Thanks to this song, my heart was supported whenever I was on the verge of breaking.

New graduates inevitably have little influence and can’t live in a way that truly expresses who they are.

When I was struggling with that, I listened to this song.

I heard a voice saying, “How can you live if you’re not living as yourself? Don’t hide who you are.”

“If I’m with the one I love, I can go anywhere.

I can become anything.” This song makes you think just that.

Listening to it will surely make you deeply appreciate having someone special by your side.

It’s the kind of song that makes you want to hold them tight right away.

With a light drum pattern reminiscent of dance music layered with classic backing guitar, this track strikes a perfect balance that’s both easy to groove to and thoroughly satisfying.

Included on the 2005 release “Souvenir,” this song also lent its name to that year’s tour.

With a somewhat summery vibe, it’s a great pick to listen to on a date or while driving, don’t you think?

Even that famous band Spitz has written songs about breasts.

The lyrics are couched in euphemism, but if you read or listen to them repeatedly, you start to realize they might be about sexual intercourse.

It can be amusing to sing them in front of friends while thinking about that.
