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.

Psupittsu

A hidden gem by Spitz that brings Masamune Kusano’s voice to the forefront.

It’s a slow ballad centered on piano and is very easy to listen to.

With Spitz’s characteristically profound lyrics, it somehow leaves you feeling encouraged.

Not very well-known, but a great song.

This is Spitz’s 31st single, released by Universal Music on July 12, 2006, and popular for its refreshing vocals.

It was used as the theme song for the film “Honey and Clover.” Since the movie is set around a university, it’s a perfect fit.

Akanesupittsu

A perfect song to boost your mood.

In my case, I put it on when I’m on a road trip and start to feel tired.

Then I naturally perk up and can head toward my destination with great energy.

It’s also the perfect song for when you’re feeling down.

Stargazersupittsu

It’s the 28th single, released on January 21, 2004.

They were asked to create the theme song for Fuji TV’s show “Ainori,” and wrote it while imagining the night spent waiting for a response to a confession.

It has a catchy melody that you can’t help but hum!

Swan / Spitz (solo acoustic performance)

Even after I became a working adult, I was still relying on something like I did as a student.

“You’re an adult.

No more coddling.” It’s a song that scolds me the way my father would.

This song changed something inside me, and I started taking full responsibility for everything I’m supposed to do.

The melody, which evokes the afterglow of a cooled love, is perfect for relaxing on your commute to work or school.
