This is a song that was used as the ending theme from 1988 to 1992.
Its slightly brisk tempo evokes scenes of running together with friends under a blue sky and creates a cheerful atmosphere.
The lyrics are striking in the way they seem to ask all humanity how wonderful our planet Earth is, and whether we aren’t friends born into such a lovely place.
It’s a bright, happy song that even conveys a wish for peace.

It was originally the theme song for the anime of the same name that aired in the late 1970s.
