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.

New Moonsupittsu

Spitz – Shingetsu [Lyrics and English]

This is a song included on the album “Togemaru.” There’s a well-known rumor that Spitz associates round things with “death,” and if you connect that idea to this song’s interpretation of the new moon…? The moon is still invisible at this stage, and many people seem to think of that as death being unseen.

Spitz’s unique view of life and death—how do you interpret it?
