J-Canuck's "America" Tunes 2

To any and all American readers of "Kayo Kyoku Plus", Happy Fourth of July and also a Happy Sestercentennial (250th birthday). I recall that three years ago, I also provided a special list of America-related songs on July the 4th and mentioned that we would have to do something about 2026. Well, the day is here.

And so, this is my "America" Tunes 2. Unlike the first one which mostly dealt with songs that had "America" in their titles, I'm being a bit more geographically precise so I'll be listing those numbers referring specifically to states and cities. Without further ado then:

(1948) Haruo Oka -- Akogare no Hawaii Koro (憧れのハワイ航路)

(1983) Mayumi Itsuwa -- California

(1978) Goro Noguchi -- Catalog L.A.（カタログL.A.）

(1984) Himiko Kikuchi -- Hollywood Illusion

(1979) Casiopea -- I Love New York

(1983) Seiko Matsuda -- Miami Gozen Go-ji （マイアミ午前5時）
