"New York" Tunes

 

Last Friday, when I put up Iruka's(イルカ)"NYC wa Toosugite"(NYCは遠すぎて), I realized that there have been a number of New York-themed tunes posted up here on "Kayo Kyoku Plus" over the years. And since we have those "America" tunes that I posted as an Author's Picks back in 2023, why not become even more localized and go straight to the Big Apple? A couple of them on that list ("Kennedy Airport" and "Purpletown") could comfortably belong on this list but since they're already up there, it wasn't too difficult to find two more. But without further ado, here are my five New York tunes.

(1978) Akiko Wada -- Park Avenue 7 PM


(1978) Jun Fukamachi -- Letter to New York


(1978) Cools Rockabilly Club -- Sentimental New York(センチメンタル・ニューヨーク)


(1983) Yasuhiro Abe -- Manhattan


(1985) Naoko Kawai – Manhattan Joke
