Donovan-influenced acoustic guitar and arpeggio-filled electric guitar characterises Spitz’s catchy, rhythmical style of music. Masamune Kusano (vocals)’s Japanese lyrics often capture the sense of innocence and youth.
The band members are: Kusano Masamune (草野マサムネ, vocals, guitars and lyrics); Miwa Tetsuya (三輪テツヤ, guitars); Tamura Akihiro(田村明浩, bass); and Sakiyama Tatsuo (崎山龍男, drums).
Kusano came up with the name of the band. He was said to be fond of words that include the ‘sp’ sound - such as “special” and “crispy”, and searched for another word with that sound in a dictionary. The name also reflects the band’s origin as a punk group - its music back then was somewhat like a Japanese Spitz dog, characterized by its loud and forceful barking.

Ikutsu mo no machigai kasaneteru
Je t'aime
Baka da yo na
Betsu ni kamawanai to kimi wa iu kedo
Tekitou na kotoba ga mitsukaranai
Je t'aime
Sonna toko da
Nayami tsukareta kyou mo mata
Kimi ga iru no wa suteki na koto da
Yasashiku naru nani mo kamo
Kimi ga iru no wa ikenai koto da
Nayami tsukareta kyou mo mata...
The lyrics to Spitz's song "Je T'aime" express the feeling of being enveloped by the warmth of joy and happiness. The singer reflects upon various mistakes and faults that they have made, but they are content to be wrapped in this feeling of happiness. They repeat the words "Je t'aime," which means "I love you" in French, and acknowledge that they are foolish for feeling this way, but they cannot help it. The singer notes that the straightforward expression of love and affection always seems to elude them.
Despite the difficulties and hardships that they are facing, the singer recognizes that having the person they love by their side makes life worth living. The repeated line, "Kimi ga iru no wa suteki na koto da" (It's wonderful that you exist) highlights this sentiment. The singer also acknowledges that the presence of the loved one has the power to make everything better and to bring out the kindness in the world. Despite not being able to find the right words to express their feelings, the singer ends the song on a positive note, grateful for the simple fact of having the person they love in their life.

君がいることで優しくなれる
けど、
君がいるから悩み疲れる
本当にひとを好きになったときに
この歌詞にどれだけ共感したか
この人以上に好きになれる人に
もう出逢えないだろうなぁ
