I thought this is an rare item. but seems no one cares about it.

Bellamy, I think this is very rare!!!  
Great you have found it  
Thanks for letting us know  
And very special that they uses TLYM  

[Bellamy]

the success of TLYM in Japan mostly due to this TV play. this is one of the most successful TV play in Japan. that's why TYLM had sold more than one million copies in Japan. It's the best selling single by foreign female singer of all time, and the second best selling single by any foreign singer of all time, and the best selling single in the last 20 or 30(can't remember exactly) years in Japan.
and they use TLYM everywhere in this TV play. beginning, ending and in the middle of it, at least 3-4 times for every episode. if I'm not wrong, in the 1998 authorized bio, it said they had the TLYM music first as the theme song of it. since this is the very big budget TV play of the Fuji TV Channel, so they want a big voice for it, then they invite Celine to sing the song.

Thank you Bellamy

Cool, too bad there isn't any english subtitles.

[Bellamy]

This TV play has very special meaning to TLYM, just like Titanic to MHWGO.  

[ByuSmurf]

No subtitles? RATS!

Except for My heart will go on, To love you more is the second most popular song of Celine in the Japanese market.

[Bellamy]

Actually "To love you more" is much more popular than  "My heart will go on" in Japan in terms of sales.
