1979 song performed by Pink Lady From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Do Your Best" (ドゥー・ユア・ベスト, Dū Yua Besuto) is the 16th single of duo Pink Lady, released on December 5, 1979. The song was originally chosen to be the theme song for the Japanese teams at the 1980 Summer Olympics in Moscow, but Japan became one of 66 countries to boycott the games following the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, thus affecting the song's sales.[1][2] This was the duo's first single not to reach the top 20 in Japan.
