Dreams Come True
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
- Dreams Come True is also an album by Judee Sill.
Dreams Come True (ドリームズ・カム・トゥルー Dorīmuzu Kamu Turū?) is a Japanese band that performs songs in both Japanese and English. They debuted in 1989 with the single, "Anata ni Aitakute" and the album, Dreams Come True.
The band's bassist, Masato Nakamura, composed the music for Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Sega Mega Drive. The band's vocalist is Miwa Yoshida. Miwa is also famous for her bubbly character and solo singing career in Japan. Takahiro Nishikawa was the keyboard player of the band until he left on March 24, 2002. Nishikawa was arrested the following October on assault and drug charges, for which he received a suspended sentence. A second arrest for drug possession in early 2006 led to a prison sentence.
Dreams Come True's music is a fusion of diverse musical genres, such as jazz, rock, pop, R&B, techno, and funk.
One of their singles, "Eternity," was released in America on The Swan Princess soundtrack, and a Dreams Come True music video played at the end of the credits on a special edition VHS. This video and several other features, however, were left out of the special edition DVD released later.
Their biggest hit single of the career was "Love Love Love," which was used as the theme song of a popular TBS drama. The single sold more than two million copies in 1995.
A set of Dreams Come True songs was compiled and used in the game Dancing Stage featuring Dreams Come True. The band took part in the Live 8 concert in Chiba, Japan on July 2, 2005. They are also featured in the Live 8 DVD release, but only as part of the "Extras" on Disc 4.
The band also made a song called "Sweet Sweet-06 Akon Mix-", featured in Sonic the Hedgehog for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, released in 2006. The English version is known as "Sweet Dream."
