Overview

"Yume Monogatari (夢物語)" is the second single released by Japanese pop duo Tackey & Tsubasa. The a-side song "Yume Monogatari" was used as the Olympus "μDigital" commercial song. The b-side "Kaze no Uta" was used as House Commodity "Dongari Corn" commercial song. The other b-side "It's Only Dream" was TBS TV "Golden Muscle" ending theme song. To add to that, the last b-side, which is "Hitonatsu no..." was used as TBS TV "USO!? Japan" ending theme song.

Sample of the translated lyrics:

You are a flower of love, I am a flower of romance
Seizing time, shaking
A tale of the moon, a tale of the stars, I continued to pray
You are a trap of love, I am a trap of romance; seizing everything, we'll sleep
A tale of the wind, a tale of a dream, an illusion that won't fade
