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.
