I was once asked by one of the commenters about an Author's Picks regarding airports. After all, in terms of an old kayo kyoku, the airport serves as a setting for romantic farewells and (rarely) greetings. Plus, they can also be the launching point for adventures abroad. Now, I believe that I had yet to post such a list of airport-themed songs so I'm going with this one today to finish my trio of articles.
(1974) Teresa Teng -- Kuukou （空港）
(1975) Hi-Fi Set -- Doyoubi no Yoru wa Haneda ni Kuru no（土曜の夜は羽田に来るの）
(1984) Akina Nakamori -- Kita Wing （北ウィング）
(1987) Kye Eunsook & Keisuke Hama -- Kita Kuukou（北空港）
(2013) Keisuke Yamauchi -- Kushiro Kuukou （釧路空港）
Airport Kayo? Hmm, now this is a category that would not have occurred to me, but I like it and there are a lot of great songs here. I can see that in Akina's third year as an Aidoru she had lost weight from from when she debut. Personally, I think she looks better with more weight or body fat, but whatever 北ウィング is a great song as a lot of her song throughout the rest of the 80's were.
