Wow. Thank you SO much for posting this Wendy. I was 17 when this aired and was still utterly enraptured by Les Mis, as I had been since 85 when I first encountered it. I saw it so many times in London, I think 8 times. Was absolutely in love with Eponine and, by extension, Frances Ruffelle. Kaho was the only Eponine who I put close to Frances' original, and I played my video of this performance over and over again until I had learned the lyrics in Japanese (phonetically). Seeing this again is quite transportative. It happens to find me on a morning when I'm a bit emotional anyway, so my eyes are a little glistening! But I never thought I would get to see it again, and it brings back a lot of memories for me. So yes, thank you so much, what a gift you have provided here!!

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I played the old video tape with it on so many times I was worried that it would start to disintegrate, so it was a relief to get it digitised. I'm surprised that there has never seemed to be another person uploading it. Thank you for letting me know :-)

@@wendygare8620 I uploaded just the "On My Own" portion many years ago on here but my account got suspended for copyright reasons. However, my copy was nowhere nearly as great in quality as yours. Very clear and sharp, the colors are beautiful, and no tape fuzz or washout. The audio is pristine. Such a treat to see this in good quality. Thank you for taking the time to digitize it. It was well worth it since I have never seen this in such high quality.
