Masterpieces by Spitz: A list of recommended popular songs and signature tracks

polar bearsupittsu

Spitz / Polar Bear

Spring, when student days ended and I became a working adult shouldering responsibility.

It was a start filled with both great hopes and anxieties.

When I encountered this song, I felt it expressed my feelings honestly in simple words.

It’s a highly recommended track for easing anxious thoughts.

Summer endssupittsu

Spitz / Summer Ends

Before people’s awareness of summer fades, the season itself tells us that summer is ending.

In such moments, we feel a tinge of loneliness.

This is a song that helps ease the sadness of summer ending and autumn arriving.

It gently reassures us, saying, ‘Summer will come again next year, so it’s okay,’ and helps us prepare to get through the harsh seasons ahead.

Before you become a memorysupittsu

Before You Become a Memory / Spitz

It’s a bittersweet love song.

The story is about the protagonist, who for some reason has to leave the place they’ve grown accustomed to, going to the sea with their lover on the eve of their farewell.

It seems to speak to how things change with the passage of time—and whether our relationship is the same.

The way the lovers cherish their final moments together is portrayed sweetly and endearingly right up to the end.

It’s not a dreamsupittsu

Spitz / Not a Dream

Originally a track on their fourth album “Crispy!”, it was later chosen as the theme song for the TV Asahi drama “Futari,” and was released as a single about four years after its initial release.

The performance is simple and not overblown, but the chorus melody sticks in your head after just one listen!

KiHa 181 Series Limited Express Hamakaze Ordinary Life

One of the tracks on the album “Souvenir,” which includes Haru no Uta and Masayume.

It’s a song with a pop feel that captures Spitz’s essence; the strings and the arpeggio in the intro are beautiful, and the lyrics are very concise, conveying what they want to say in a straightforward, honest way.

Spitz / Thrush

Released on June 23, 2010, this 36th single was featured in a commercial for “Music.jp TV.” The jacket photo uses a picture by Miho Kakuta, and the music video stars Yuri Ishizaka and Yuya Toyoda.

For Spitz, it presents a simple and easily understood message of love.

Tokimeki Part 1supittsu

Spitz / Tokimeki Part 1

A gem of a love song released in the 37th year of Spitz’s career.

Also chosen as the theme song for the film “My So-Called Love” (starring Suzu Hirose), it appears on the album “Himitsu Studio.” Masamune Kusano’s vocals, which evoke fresh first-love feelings and complex emotions, intertwine with a crystalline melody.

It beautifully captures the flutter of a first crush and the growing feelings each time you meet someone.

Brimming with the timeless appeal of a love song that brings you back to a fresh state of mind every time you listen.

A perfect track for anyone nursing a one-sided love or who loves romantic films!
