DREAMS COME TRUE “Where the Smiles Go”

On graduation day, we want to say goodbye with a smile, but that feeling of loneliness inevitably wells up, doesn’t it? This song, gently accompanying those wavering emotions, was released by DREAMS COME TRUE in February 1990.

It’s also cherished by fans as the first single for which Masato Nakamura composed the music.

A different version is included on the album “WONDER 3.” It’s the perfect track to play on your way home as you reluctantly part with friends, or whenever you feel like looking back on your youth.
