A/N: This poem was inspired by the US Air Force song "Air Force Blue", with video above, and in this universe, there is an airman created it's Japanese version as the SDF were transitioned into a full-fledged armed forces, and with acknowledgment of the long bond between Japanese and American air force.
I can imagine Kousei and Emi played this song after the war..
...
We took the Sora-iro (1) and the Shinbashi (2)
And a touch of Hanaasagi (3)
We gave it to the young who proudly wear the Nippon Air Force Blue!
The Nippon Air Force Blue!
The chosen youth with a dream on the Yamato's (4) team
Always ready to heed the call
And people of Japan is looking up to Nippon Air Force Blue!
They know where they're going
The course is set
In Air Force
The sky is no limit!
We took the Sora-iro and the Shinbashi
And a touch of Hanaasagi
We gave it to the young who proudly wear the Nippon Air Force Blue!
And you can wear it too! The Nippon Air Force Blue!
