Somebody on a J-Pop subreddit just linked a classic live performance of trio the Brilliant Green doing their single "There Will Be Love There" and HOLY TOLEDOOOOO the MEMORIESSSS!!!!
The Brilliant Green came along at a time in my life where I was REALLY branching out into J-pop fandom and now, rather than rely on others to make me my mix tapes, I was perusing all the current MUSIC STATION and POPJAM type shows to hear the new tunes and, upon hearing something I liked, would immediately run out and grab it to add to my GROWING J-pop collection to make mixes ALL on my OWN!!
Among the performances I saw was a sweet and SINCERE sounding song called "There Will Be Love There" by a then newbie (to me, anyway) group called the Brilliant Green...I just fell in love with the song and had to have it! Can't quite remember if I got it at Hakabundo or ordered it thru Tower Records, suffice it to say I GOT it and the song became the BIG mixtape closer of my next cassette!
Funny thing, months later The Brilliant green would come out with another great song called "Sono Speed De" which I also dug a lot- It was the theme song for the Takashi Sorimachi/Esumi Makiko drama OVER TIME, and for some reason, through the years, I mashed the two Brilliant Green songs together in my mind, and even convinced myself that "There Will be Love There" was the theme for the show!
MUCH apologies to Sono Speed De when I realized my error! But just what drama WAS There Will Be Love There from? Looking it up, come to find out that There Will be Love There was the theme song for a drama I'd never HEARD of, called LOVE AGAIN! 
Hmmm, it starred Hikari Ishida, Atsuro Watabe, Miho Kanno and Shinji Takeda...oh wow, they were so young then, as I guess we ALL were, LOL!
Take a trip down memory lane with me....
