Do you want to know why SPITZ became so popular? They have their own world--SPITZ world--in every song. Sweet melodies, nostalgic tunes with wonderful poems and Kusano Masamune's sweet and clear voice create a fantastic world.

I went to the concert of them in Osaka last spring. It was unforgettable experience for me. Since they are very popular, I couldn't buy a ticket for their next concert though we were standing in a line in front of a ticket office from 6 in the morning. I was very depressed and made up my mind to stay in front of the ticket office all night next time.

About one and half a year after 7th album, they released 8th album 'Fake far' including singles 'Unmei-no-hito' and 'Scarret'. A week later the album, they released single 'Tsumetai-hoho' which is included in the 8th album.

July 7, 1998, a single 'Supika' will be released. It is the second time to release s single on the Tanabata Festival Day.. The former was 'Namida-ga-kirari'.

Here is an update on their most recent albums.

This album is categorized as an 'ep', but it is like a mini album.

It contains 3 tracks, and as it was released on New Years Day, its songs seem like 'A happy new year!' Do you remember 'Nostradamus's large prediction'? I bet this 'ep' will remind you about it. I recommend you listen on New Years Day.

Special album 'kachyou fuugetsu'

The special album is by member song selection which covers the 90s of Spitz. A total of 13 music which consisted of album first inclusion music altogether, such as a new recording self cover of offer music, such as 'aino shirushi', and a 'nagareboshi', unpublished music, an excellent piece of music 'oppai' from the Indies board 'hibarino kokoro' of a phantom, and 'TOGETOGE no ki'

best album'RECYCLE Greatest Hits of SPITZ'

This best album is ultimate KOMPIREISHON which covered all the hit singles of a spitz from 'kimiga omoideni natumaeni' to 'kaede' in 1998.

9th album'hayabusa'7/26/2000

This album includes, the single songs, 'Hotaru' 'Hourou kamome wa dokomademo' and 'Memories' are included. All songs in this album are completely different from songs that they made before. Especially 'Hourou kamome wa dokomademo' and 'Memories' tell us they are challenging to make new sounds! 'Hayabusa', which become this album's title is especially recomended.
