Dear Fran,
Thank you so much. It’s been relatively cool in Tokyo lately, so I think I’ll try going for a run while listening to your music. When I first heard “My Eyes,” it brought me to tears. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.I’m a fan from Japan. Travis is the absolute best.
Someday, I’m going to have your CD put in my coffin. A full album, hopefully.
Goodnight.@sumiresailon
Thank you so much for giving me so many recommendations! They are all wonderful artists, and I’m so happy to find some that I didn’t know about yet. I’ll definitely check them out.As for my favorite Spitz songs, it’s so hard to choose because I honestly love more than 100 of their songs! But to name a few, I really love “Gerbera,” “Spider,” “Ai no Kotoba,” “Uta-Usagi,” and “Masayume.”
Actually, I have a cool piece of trivia for you. Masamune Kusano, the vocalist and songwriter of Spitz, is a fan of Travis! That’s actually how I discovered Travis—by hearing them on his radio show.
On top of that, in an interview about their 2008 song “Wakaba,” he mentioned that he incorporated the mandolin into the track because he was inspired by a Travis song he heard on the radio. Since you love both bands, you should definitely check out “Wakaba” if you haven’t already!
Here are some other Japanese songs I love:
Sakanaction: “Eureka,” “Document,” “mellow,” “Nylon no Ito,” “Asa no Uta”
Mr.Children: “Fastener,” “HANABI,” “Over,” “Ashioto ~ Be Strong,” “Kuchibue”
Motohiro Hata: “Rain”
DYGL: “Sink”
Quruli: “Bara no Hana”
…and honestly, there are still so many more! Since you already listen to a lot of Japanese music, please forgive me if you already know all of these.Also, I listened to The Cure and Ride! They are absolutely amazing. Their music has officially been added to my daily life now. Thank you so much for introducing them to me!
Thanks! “Robinson” is amazing, isn’t it? Actually, I first discovered Spitz through “Robinson” when I was in my first year of elementary school. It’s an absolute masterpiece.
If you don’t mind, could you tell me what your favorite songs are? Since you love both Travis and Spitz, I already know you have wonderful taste! Any band’s songs would be great.
