Released in 1981. B-side of her fifth single "To the North Country". Lyrics and composition: Kaoru Ito / Arrangement: Ryohei Yamanaka. Tomoko Ishizaka won the first Toshiba Talent Scout Caravan and made her debut as a singer in 1980 with the single "Arigato". The song was chosen as the theme song for the TV drama "Tadaima Houkago" starring the Tanokin Trio (Toshihiko Tahara, Masahiko Kondo, Yoshio Nomura), and it peaked at 40th place (sales of 67,000 copies), but she was unable to achieve a bigger hit than her debut, and this was her last single. Since her debut, most of the lyrics and music have been written by Kaoru Ito, and there have been many different types of songs, but I felt naturally drawn into the world of her songs, and I was reminded once again that she was a singer with a rich sensibility. In 2003, a best album titled "Idol Miracle Bible Series: Ishizaka Tomoko" was released, with all of her songs, including the album tracks, being released on CD. (The commercial version of her third single, "Futari no Koi wa ABC," was not included, of course.)
