their second , `` kryzler and company # '' , sold over 81,000 copies .
steve mcclure of `` billboard '' wrote that they have become `` japan 's unlikeliest pop idols , attracting hordes of screaming fans , a far cry from the decorum and reserve usually shown by japan 's classical music audiences . ''
one of the band 's greatest claims to fame was providing the music for celine dion 's single `` to love you more '' which was recorded the theme song for the japanese drama `` koibito yo '' -lrb- my dear lover -rrb- .
the song reached number one on billboard japan .
the group produced 11 albums before going on hiatus as hakase pursued a solo career .
