About Me

Spitz is a Japanese rock band formed in 1987. After meeting in Shizuoka in 1986, they fashioned their sound along the lines of melodic pop rock groups like the Beatles. Issuing their debut album, SPITZ, in 1991, the band went unnoticed for several years, but became very popular in 1995 with the release of their 11th single Robinson and 6th album Hachimitsu. One of their most famous songs, Sora mo Toberu Hazu, was featured as the theme song of Hakusen Nagashi, a popular drama, and is used frequently in school graduation ceremonies. Several of their songs were featured in the anime Honey and Clover. As of January 2006, Spitz has released 30 singles and 15 albums. (en.wikipedia.com)
