Spitz (スピッツ, Supittsu) is a Japanese rock band originally formed in 1987. They are one of the Japanese music groups who gained remarkable commercial prosperity in the mid and late 1990s, generally known by their abstract and eccentric songwriting mainly penned by primary singer-songwriter and guitarist Masamune Kusano.

In March 1991, they debuted with their self-titled album and a single "Hibari no Kokoro." Since the commercial success of their breakthrough single "Robinson" which was released in 1995, they have retained their stable popularity on the Japanese music industry. To date, they have produced 14 number-one hits (nine albums and five singles) on the Japanese Oricon record charts. As of November 2007, total sales of the band's albums and singles have been estimated more than 20 million units.

I found them also through Honey & Clover. I love them even more than Suga Shikao :)

The band's name was proposed by Kusano and means “sharp and pointed” in German language. Kusano liked the sound of “s” followed by “p” (as in “special” or “crispy”). Kusano had wanted to use this name since he was a high school student, but members of his band had always disagreed with him. “Spitz” was his favorite word picked up from his dictionary.

LOL Why did I hold it back?!
That was exactly, what I thought, when I read the name here! XD

And out of the chaos I heard a voice telling me:
"Smile and be happy - it could have become worse!"
So I smiled and was happy... and it became worse

We have a saying here- 'Everyone thinks according to the level of their corruption (/depravity/foulness/etc).'...
