Isn’t DREAMS COME TRUE’s “Thank You.” a song that, though powerful, gently lifts our spirits? It’s definitely a number you’d want to dedicate to a female friend who comforted you without a word and supported you.

You’ll relate to the lyrics that capture the casual conversations with you as you comforted me after my heartbreak, and it will no doubt strike a chord.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAYDREAMS COME TRUE

Past midnight, I want to be the very first to say “congratulations.” This song is a warm anthem to friendship released by DREAMS COME TRUE in December 1993.

With Miwa Yoshida’s rich, glossy vocals, it sincerely sings of the gratitude—those simple “thank yous”—that we’re usually too shy to express.

In March 2014, a 25th-anniversary arrangement was unveiled in tie-in with AEON’s 40th-anniversary song, drawing renewed attention.

It’s a perfect track to send as a musical message to someone special—on a friend’s birthday, an anniversary, or any time you want to convey your thanks.

Even if it’s a love without a future and without reward, it’s a song brimming with mature allure that can’t help but keep thinking of “you.”

It was released in 2014 as DREAMS COME TRUE’s 52nd single.

The song was written as the sixth theme for Nippon TV’s “NEWS ZERO,” and is said to have been created while watching figure skater Mao Asada.

It’s a song that brings back the moving memories of the Sochi Olympics, where she overcame anguish, setbacks, and immense pressure to complete her skate.

LAT.43°N 〜forty-three degrees north〜DREAMS COME TRUE6rank/position

The duo affectionately known as “DoriCam,” DREAMS COME TRUE.

This single, released in November 1989 and also included on the classic album LOVE GOES ON…, is an early masterpiece.

Set in a city at 43 degrees north latitude, its lyrics poignantly portray the heartache of a long-distance relationship and the sense of separation felt over the phone.

The anxiety of time spent apart overlaps with the chill of winter, resonating deeply with listeners.

While it wasn’t a major chart hit at the time of release, it was later included on a best-of album and frequently ranks high in live request polls, cementing its status as a hidden gem.

How about listening to it on a quiet, snowy night, when you want to immerse yourself in its lyrical world alone?

SNOW DANCEDREAMS COME TRUE7rank/position

DREAMS COME TRUE – 「SNOW DANCE」
SNOW DANCEDREAMS COME TRUE

It’s a song by DREAMS COME TRUE that feels like it portrays snow dancing in the sky.

While the title and lyrics strongly evoke winter, the sound resounds with flamenco guitar and Latin percussion, giving it a passionate vibe as well.

That contrast between the lyrics and the sound is an intriguing point, isn’t it? And precisely because there aren’t many shifts in the arrangement, Miwa Yoshida’s powerful vocals seem all the more emphasized.

It also carries a certain wistful air, which feels like it expresses the fleeting nature of falling snow.

This is a song by DREAMS COME TRUE that seems to express a strong admiration for someone whose back you’ve long followed, along with feelings of gratitude.

Its lively sound blends the tones of piano, strings, and percussion, and you can feel a sense of strength emerging from its gentle tempo.

While reflecting on memories of those who have supported you and your family, it portrays a powerful wish to become like that person.

It doesn’t specify exactly who the person is, but the enveloping gentleness suggests the image of a mother’s strength.

It would be perfect as a song that conveys thanks to a mother, evoking the image of Mother’s Day.

Although it was released as the B-side to “Ureshi Hazukashi Asagaeri” in 1989, thanks to tie-ins with commercials and films—and even a novel based on the song—many people are likely familiar with this track.

It’s a very happy love song that celebrates the joy of meeting your destined partner, and it’s a crowd-pleaser at live shows.

The power of love is truly incredible—it suddenly brings color to the world and makes you feel like you can do anything.

If you’ve ever been in love, you probably know exactly what I mean!

Brimming with dynamic rhythm and a powerful melody, this track serves as a heartwarming anthem that, while a theme song for an ekiden relay race, also celebrates life’s challenges, hard work, and those taking a bold new step forward.

DREAMS COME TRUE fuse ’80s disco sounds with Latin grooves into a lively arrangement that gently pushes listeners onward.

The song was released digitally ahead of time in January 2025 and was later included as a single in March of the same year as the theme song for the “ACN EXPO EKIDEN 2025 Commemorating the Osaka-Kansai Expo.” It’s a buoyant tune that, when played during practice for school sports days or athletic festivals, naturally sparks a sense of camaraderie with teammates and a renewed determination to reach your goals.
