DREAMS COME TRUE – Thank You. (from DWL 2011 Live Ver.)

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.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAYDREAMS COME TRUE3rank/position

DREAMS COME TRUE – HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY (from ATTACK25 TOUR 2014 Live Ver.)

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.

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.

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

LAT.43°N 〜forty-three degrees north latitude〜

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」

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.
