I love how this song switches atmospheres from being dark and depressing into uplifting and hopeful. 'Honoho' is an old-style and uncommon way to say 'flames' (people usually use the word "Honou" instead.) Kusano-san said that at first, he wanted to name the album 'Honoho' but then decided to use 'Souvenir' as it fits the album's concept better.

This song always gets me pumped! I think it's about pushing yourself beyond your limits.

This song is very upbeat, I love the solo that Kusano-san adds at the end of the song during their live performances. It is said that the title is based on the American actress named Tatum O'Neal (Who is the youngest person to have received an Academy Award and was also Micheal Jackson's first love), but I have no idea why (o__o) (maybe Kusano-san ( Read more... )

This song has a very dark atmosphere and lyrics that makes you feel like you can spread your wings across the seas to meet the person you love.

I love this song, it has such a soothing atmosphere with romantic lyrics. The live version is much slower and more ballad-like than the original recording though.

Kusano-san looks so different with spiky hair (o__o)

I think this song is about a man's plight for his fate to change. He pleads to 'Masayume' (prophetic dream) to give him another chance to change himself after seeing a dream that the relationship with the woman he loves will end.

This song has an interesting melody that is inspired by an Okinawan folk song. The song incorporates the use of the Sanshin (japanese sitar), that is played by Miwa-san and the melody follows a Ryukyuan scale of notes. Nam pla is a type of fish sauce.

This song has a very romantic melody, and the echo that they put in the song made Kusano-san's voice sound so soft and soothing.

This is one of my favorite songs from Spitz. It has wonderful lyrics about being reborn as spring comes. The build-up is wonderful, and I love the easy-going feel of the song. \(^O^)/
