At the time, unlike today when multiple singles are released before the album, the format was to release singles only of the tracks that proved popular after the album came out.

Accordingly, after the debut album “DREAMS COME TRUE” was released, this song was cut as a single from that CD.

It’s a bittersweet love song about a one-sided crush that was continually dodged and ultimately ended without even a confession.

A pop number crafted by DREAMS COME TRUE that’s perfect for autumn nights.

Released in March 1995, it’s included on the classic album “DELICIOUS,” which topped that year’s Oricon annual album chart.

The lyrics, capturing the bittersweet frustration of being unable to move beyond a “friends” relationship despite being in love, resonate deeply.

It’s the perfect song for gazing up at the night sky and basking in sweet, heartrending memories.

One of the tracks on their 36th double A-side single.

Its counterpart, “JET!!,” is connected to it through the music video, and Atsushi Itō appears in both works.

While it features a Latin-style rhythm that’s catchy and full of energy, it actually portrays a woman on the verge of recovering from a broken heart.

Used as the theme song for Fuji TV’s Mezamashi TV.

This is a digital-only single by DREAMS COME TRUE, released in November 2012.

It was used as the theme song for the film Tug of War! (released the same year), which centers on competitive tug-of-war.

It also appears to be used as background music at weddings.

Love love loveDREAMS COME TRUE

DREAMS COME TRUE’s “Love Love Love” seems difficult, but because there are many repetitions, it’s easy to sing and feels like you can get away with being a little off-key.

When I sing this song, the people I’m with say, “You’re good!”

This song is included on the 9th album, SING OR DIE, and became popular enough to be released as a single after the album’s release, with a music video also produced.

It poignantly portrays someone right after a breakup, struggling to face their feelings and somehow move forward, evoking deep empathy.

While the song is mainly in major chords and features positive lyrics in the chorus, it also conveys a sense of bittersweetness, making it a highly accomplished piece.

A track from their 37th double A-side single.

Among DREAMS COME TRUE’s winter-themed songs, this is a particularly heartrending Christmas number.

As we become adults and fall in love, the chances of entering an affair grow higher compared to when we were younger.

The lyrics, interwoven with Miwa Yoshida’s worldview—shaped in part by her experience with a de facto marriage—carry strong conviction.
