Wings of FarewellIshikawa Sayuri
“Sayonara no Tsubasa” (Wings of Farewell) is the 48th single by Sayuri Ishikawa, released in 1988.
Although Ishikawa is famous as an enka singer, this song carries a Latin flavor reminiscent of flamenco.
Of course, her powerful, outstanding vocal ability is as compelling as ever.
The lyrics, which depict a parting between two people separated by an airplane, are truly heartrending.
It’s also a track that lets you appreciate a different side of Sayuri Ishikawa, so be sure to give it a listen!
Final flightTanimura Shinji
The song “Saishū Flight” (Final Flight) was the last track on Shinji Tanimura’s 1992 album “Santo Monogatari.” The album also includes tie-in songs such as the title track “Santo Monogatari,” used as the JR West image song, and “Kokoro Zensen,” the opening theme for TV Asahi’s “Sasowarete Futari Tabi.” It’s a love ballad filled with the longing to see you—even if it means catching the last flight—and it’s a piece that showcases the full charm of Shinji Tanimura.
Bye-Bye Jetishida ayumi
Ayumi Ishida, who was active not only as an actress but also as a singer.
Her song “Bye-Bye Jet” isn’t particularly well-known, but it’s still a beloved classic among her fans.
The melody has a distinctly languid, wistful feel.
It carries a nostalgic, old-school sound, while also incorporating contemporary elements that give it a stylish vibe.
With its blend of various influences, it’s definitely a track worth checking out!
Jet, take offHoriuchi Takao
“Tobitate Jet Plane” is a track included on Takao Horiuchi’s second solo album, “Wasurekaketeita Love Song,” released in 1977.
It predates his major breakthrough with the band Alice, but the album itself is a calm, refreshing masterpiece.
Among its songs, “Tobitate Jet Plane” has a rock-tinged feel with a sense of forward motion that seems to capture the momentum of a plane taking off.
It showcases a different charm from Horiuchi’s post-Alice work, and it’s a song I highly recommend you listen to.
Departing from NaritaCheuni
NARITA Departure, sung by Cheuni, a singer from Seoul, South Korea, is her 13th single, released in 2008.
After moving to Japan alone in 1998, she drew attention with Tokyo Twilight, which earned her the Best New Artist Award at the 42nd Japan Record Awards.
NARITA Departure features a sound that revives the charm of classic Japanese kayōkyoku in a modern way, and its lyrics—about a woman turning back at Narita International Airport, searching for you—are truly heartrending.
It’s an irresistible track for fans of kayōkyoku!
