Junichi Inagaki -- Bahama Airport(バハマ・エアポート)

 

I would expect that there may still be a number of Canadians enjoying their Holiday vacations in the Caribbean for at least a few more days before they have to come back to the bitter cold and work come Monday. Allow them to enjoy the warmth and good feelings for a little while longer.

This is a fairly raucous song for Junichi Inagaki(稲垣潤一)in terms of the arrangement by Akira Inoue(井上鑑). That percussion and beefy saxophone which start "Bahama Airport" can probably trigger a few tremors but they don't allow themselves to overwhelm Inagaki's tender vocals. It is definitely his style out there. "Bahama Airport" is the second track on the City Pop crooner's debut album "246:3AM" from July 1982. Kozo Endo(遠藤幸三)was the lyricist while Akira Mitake(見岳章)composed the summery happy melody.
