Spitz (スピッツ) 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.
