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
As an American, I appreciate the list! Oh, here is another video with Seiko Matsuda performing マイアミ午前5時 back in 1987:

I wonder if there's Japanese songs about PNW and New England (two of my favorite regions of the US)
ReplyDeleteHello, YMOfan04. I think one way to find out is by punching in one of the states in katakana into the Yahoo Japan search engine along with "関係の歌謡曲" and see what you get. I already tried it with Massachusetts and Boston but I got nothing.
