That was the context that "people who are fans of 'Eyes On Me'" would place it within. I was going to follow up by saying "but of course there's another context, which is that of yr avg late-90s orchestrated jpop ballad Uematsu was riffing off of"... only to find I can't come up with all that many examples! Lots of jpop ballads, that is, but they don't tend to be as lush, vocally or instrumentally.

Perhaps I'm just thinking of Onitsuka Chihiro (but then again, she debuted later):



According to Wikipedia this went to #11 Oricon (the album went #1) and sold 500,000 copies in 2000; "Eyes On Me" sold 400,000 copies in 1999.
