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.

“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.

This is a sea-themed song by Spitz, a band known for soothing music.

The sea that Spitz depicts isn’t a glittering one, but rather evokes the image of a quiet ocean just before the gentle sunrise.

For some reason, a calm sea makes you feel at ease, so I think it’s perfect for healing.

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?

This song by Spitz, used as the theme song for NTT East Japan’s Olympic commercial, has a breezy melody that looks toward the future and beautifully highlights the commercial’s message: “Your dream is everyone’s dream.” Given their status as a leading band, it’s only natural they’d be featured for an Olympics hosted in their own country.

Spitz, the beloved national band that marked its 30th anniversary in 2017.

While Spitz is known for breezy songs with a broad fan base, the track “Knife” is a number that feels completely different from their usual style—it exudes a sense of madness.

This song is included on the mini-album For Those Who Couldn’t Become Aurora, released in 1992.

At first, you might think it’s a gentle love song, but very quickly you realize it’s something else—darkness.

It’s a track that might even feel a bit frightening if you listen to it when you’re steeped in deep darkness.

Memories Customsupittsu

Spitz has fans across generations.

They have many signature songs, and you often hear their music in commercials, TV dramas, and films.

The song “Memories” is Spitz’s 22nd single, released in 2000.

With a chorus that makes you want to sing along, it’s a light yet striking track that sticks in your ears and is very popular among fans.

It’s a cool number that differs from the straightforward idea of “cool” you might first imagine—showcasing a distinctively Spitz style of cool.
