Background and release

Between 26 April and 1 May 1994, Foster performed a series of concerts in Tokyo and Osaka, Japan called JT Super Producer, that culminated with a 90-minute TV special. Foster was honored as a music producer and performed with artists he had worked with. He was joined by Celine Dion, Peabo Bryson, Color Me Badd, Warren Wiebe, Wendy Moten, Jay Graydon and Anri.

On 10 April 1994, Foster released Love Lights the World album in Japan only, where it reached number 29 on the Oricon chart. It included mostly instrumental tracks and the title song performed by Dion, Bryson and Color Me Badd. The latter was also released as a single in Japan at the same time. "Love Lights the World" reunited Dion and Bryson, who recorded "Beauty and the Beast" together in 1991. Foster's Japanese concerts also reunited Dion and Wiebe, who recorded the song "Listen to Me", featured in the 1989 movie Listen to Me.
