Motokare (元カレ) bits

Wen's friend been asked for Motokare ost.  When I tried to find You Needed Me, there's some interesting facts that I just found out today.

First fact is that the songs inserted in the drama that shown on Japan tv is not the same with the songs in the dvd released.  I found out from this source. So, that answered my question xD

Second fact is about You Needed Me song.  From the same source above, we know that the song that is a duet is not Anne Murray's nor Boyzone's.

Third fact is about Teko's theme.  In the ost, the song was performed by Nita Whitaker with the arrangement by David Foster. Originally, the song was composed and written by Mariya Takeuchi.  The song was written for the theme song of an anime movie title Time Stranger - Toki no Tabibito (1986).  There's I found out about Teko  xD
In 2003, Mariya Takeuchi released a songbook cd that contained hits covered by female artists from around the world, included Teko's theme by David Foster & Nita Whitaker.

I knew Mariya Takeuchi name since she's the one who wrote the theme song for Kimura's drama "Sleeping Forest".  And, apparently she is the wife of Yamashita Tatsurou, the composer for KinKi Kids' Glass no shounen.
