prophetic dreamsupittsu

Spitz / True Dream

Released on November 10, 2004 as the 29th single, it received a double tie-in as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Medaka” and as Fujifilm’s corporate commercial song.

KAN is listed under Special Thanks in the credits because the lyrics include a quotation from “Ai wa Katsu” (Love Will Win).

Spitz / I Should Be Able to Fly in the Sky

Released on April 25, 1994, this was their eighth single, and from this work onward, Yutaka Kimura of Central67 took charge of the jacket design.

Although sales were initially sluggish, it gained attention after being selected as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Hakusen Nagashi.”

Spitz / Wandering Seagull to the Ends of the Earth

Behind its refreshing image lies a solid, muscular rock sound that really grabs you! This track is included on the double A-side single Spitz released in June 2000.

Since it was used as the ending theme for TBS’s “Hitachi Sekai Fushigi Hakken! (Discovery of the World’s Mysteries),” many of you have probably heard it.

With powerful drums and a sense of speed in the guitar work, it captures the band’s momentum leading into the album Hayabusa.

The propulsive melody feels like it could carry you anywhere, and just listening to it puts you in a positive mood.

It’s an up-tempo number that’s guaranteed to hype up a live crowd, and the synthesizer tones add a perfectly judged accent that keeps things interesting.

Use it as driving BGM and you’ll hit the road feeling refreshed.

It’s a rock tune brimming with power that gives you a strong push forward when you’re feeling down.

Protect the Lightsupittsu

Spitz / Protect the Light

This is the 47th single from Spitz, a band cherished for many years, written specifically as the opening theme for the anime SPY×FAMILY Season 3.

Released in October 2025, it marks their first new song in about two and a half years since the previous single, “Utsukushii Hire.” The arrangement—featuring brightly resonant organ and horn sections—feels fresh and instantly lifts your spirits.

Though the song gradually builds heat toward the chorus, it doesn’t rely on extreme high notes or tricky ad-libs, making it easy to tackle at karaoke.

The lyrics, where sadness and hope seem to intersect, are another highlight, and it’s a pop tune guaranteed to get the crowd going when you sing it with friends or family.

spidersupittsu

Spitz / Spider

This song, which begins with a thrilling, fast-paced acoustic guitar, is the tenth single, released on October 26, 1994.

Masamune Kusano originally brought it in as a fast-tempo track for an album, but due to its strong reception on the radio, it was released as a single.

harborsupittsu

Spitz / Minato

It’s the 41st single, released on April 27, 2016, and the jacket uses the 1933 film “Musical Comedy: A Tipsy Life.” Also, the whistling in the instrumental break is by Wataru Sawabe of Skirt.

The lyrics are truly wonderful!

Words of Lovesupittsu

Spitz / Words of Love

There’s a song that tugs at the hearts of Spitz fans included on the classic 1995 September release, “Hachimitsu.” Although it was never released as a single, it became highly popular at concerts and on the radio, and is beloved among fans.

Its lyrics, which symbolically depict a decaying modern society and an absence of emotion, leave a strong impression, and the music video—portraying people oppressed within a controlled society—also drew attention.

In July 2014, it was chosen as the theme song for the Fuji TV drama “Asunaro 337 Byoshi,” perfectly matching the show’s key theme of bittersweet longing.

This work carries a profound message that prompts reflection on society and human nature.

It’s a song we’d especially like those who question modern society to hear.
