灯を護る (Akari wo Mamoru) Lyrics – スピッツ (Spitz)

Feel the gentle pull of protection in “灯を護る (Akari wo Mamoru),” the heartfelt opener from Spitz‘s latest single, serving as the theme song for SPY×FAMILY Season 3. Out digitally on October 6, this marks the band’s first anime tie-in and their 47th single, breaking a 2.5-year gap since “Beautiful Fin” for Detective Conan. Spitz, with Masamune Kusano’s clear vocals and timeless melodies, brings a fresh warmth to the series, starting October 4 on TV Tokyo. The track captures the show’s mix of comedy and quiet sorrow, turning underlying pain into hope through soft rock layers that echo family bonds in a spy world.

Kusano shared that he aimed for a song that faces the story’s subtle grief head-on but steers toward light, fitting SPY×FAMILY’s blend of laughs and heart. Picture Anya’s antics and the Forgers’ secrets wrapped in Spitz’s signature sound – it’s their debut in anime themes, directed by Masahiro Natsume of Space Dandy fame. Fans on X are already sharing the non-credit OP footage, noting how the lyrics about guarding a flame mirror Loid’s mission to shield his makeshift family from chaos. This single arrives amid Spitz’s busy year, with the Honey 30th anniversary edition and “Robinson” hitting 200 million MV views, proving their enduring pull.

As Season 3 dives deeper into espionage and everyday warmth, “Akari wo Mamoru” stands as a beacon, much like past themes from Official Hige Dandism or Gen Hoshino. It’s a reminder that even in shadows, a small light can guide the way forward. Dive into the 灯を護る (Akari wo Mamoru) lyrics below and unpack its tender guard. Don’t miss other SPY×FAMILY themes like Mixed Nuts for more of the series’ heartfelt anime glow.
