Over five years ago, I posted an article which involved the theme song for a strange Japanese sci-fi film from 1983 that even included actor Peter Fonda titled "Daijoubu My Friend"（だいじょうぶマイ・フレンド）. The star of the movie, actress/director Reona Hirota（広田玲央名）recorded that theme song with the same title and let's say her live version of the song wasn't exactly thrilling ears.
The B-side of the single is "Ki ga Ikisou na Sora" (The Exciting Sky) whose original recorded version was something that I discovered recently, and at least here, Hirota sounds pretty decent. It's a refined and sweeping pop tune (especially with those strings) so I am not surprised that it was once again the Kisugi siblings behind its creation, Etsuko（来生えつこ）on lyrics and Takao（来生たかお）on melody with Nobuyuki Shimizu（清水信之）handling the arrangement.
