Background and release
Prior to Oginome's version, "You're My Life" was first covered by Miyoko Yoshimoto in her 1987 album Yesterday's. Oginome's version peaked at No. 10 on Oricon's singles chart, becoming her last top-10 hit in her career. It also sold over 59,000 copies.[3] The song earned Oginome the Gold Award at the 31st Japan Record Awards, the Best Hit Song Award at the 1989 FNS Music Festival, the Excellence Award at the 15th NTV Music Festival, and the Best Talent Award at the 15th All Japan Kayo Music Festival. Oginome performed the song on the 40th Kōhaku Uta Gassen in 1989, making her third appearance on NHK's New Year's Eve special.[4]
The song was also used as the theme song of the TBS drama special Designer Monogatari ~Yume Oikakete Pari e~ (デザイナー物語〜夢追いかけてパリへ〜, Designer Story ~Chasing a Dream in Paris~), which also starred Oginome.
