Airport Log

Set in an airport where departures and farewells intersect, this memorable song by Miyuki Nakajima delicately portrays the drama of human emotion.

It was included as the B-side to the single “Namida -Made in tears-” released in October 1988.

Its warmth, reflecting the longing for one’s hometown and the bonds that keep hearts connected despite distance, resonates with the local pride of Hiroshima’s residents.

It is a song that quietly stays close to the hearts of those who have left their hometown and miss Hiroshima, or who are experiencing a farewell with someone dear.

In a sense, the final track is an ideal pop song.

It sings about everyday life, and it’s become a song I want to listen to before heading to work each day.

For office workers around the same age, I think playing it during breakfast will help you get through the day somehow.

Temptation

This work portrays a precarious, tumultuous love that feels as if reason’s brakes are about to fail.

It’s Miyuki Nakajima’s 12th single, released in April 1982, and it reached No.

2 on the Oricon weekly chart.

The song powerfully conveys, over a tense melody, the clash between a swelling, forbidden longing and the desperate effort of reason to keep it in check.

It was first included on the acclaimed album “Miyuki Nakajima THE BEST.” When you’re tormented by a forbidden love and overwhelmed by helpless feelings, listening to it seems to gently stay by your side in that pain.

Ito (Thread) — Bank Band

This song, with its deeply moving lyrics likening two people who meet to the warp and weft threads of fabric, is such a beautiful piece.

Isn’t it a classic choice for wedding receptions? Of course, Miyuki Nakajima’s original version is wonderful, and Bank Band’s cover version is also fantastic! I think it would be lovely to use it as the entrance song for a solemn, graceful entrance, and it would also work perfectly as the BGM for your profile video.

that girl

It’s a striking song in which multiple women’s names appear in the lyrics.

Even though she was given a common, ordinary name like mine, the one loved by the person I liked wasn’t me—it was that girl.

It’s a classic that conveys the sadness and helplessness of such a woman.

Tobacco – Miyuki Nakajima – cover

It seems that women who smoke tend to look a bit delinquent and aren’t very well liked.

The woman in this song is that kind of person.

However, her colleague also smokes yet seems to be well liked by men.

Perhaps the protagonist is the type who can’t flatter men.

Today, too, she hides the wounds of heartbreak behind cigarette smoke.

It’s a somewhat stylish song that paints such a scene.
