Airport Lady
Track 3 of After 5 Clash, with a sax solo and Jun Satoh's brass arrangement.
Toshiki Kadomatsu, from After 5 Clash (1984)
Kadomatsu wrote and arranged it, with Jun Satoh arranging the brass. Per Japanese Wikipedia, Takeo Kikuchi plays drums, Tomohito Aoki electric bass, Kadomatsu and Tsunehiko Ohta electric guitar, Satoh keyboards and synthesizer, Hiroyuki Iso Latin percussion and Jake H. Conception the sax solo (listed as tenor in one place and soprano in another), with Kadomatsu, Yurie Kokubu and Yoshihiko Shiraishi on chorus. He re-recorded it for the 1981-1987 compilation, Ai Furihata covered it as "Memories of Romance in Driving", and it has been a Chunichi Dragons batting theme. We found no statement from him on the lyrics, no chart history and no video.
LiveFans lists the song with a count of 11 and a 24 percent performance rate, most recently on March 28, 2026 at the Arrow Jazz Orchestra concert at Billboard Live Osaka, and at his February 2024 solo shows. We assume our upload is the original album track, but cannot confirm it.
