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?

HeyDREAMS COME TRUE16rank/position

DREAMS COME TRUE – “Hey”

Although it’s a bittersweet song, you can also feel a positive message urging us not to be bound by memories forever and to keep moving forward.

It was released in 2010 as DREAMS COME TRUE’s 46th single.

Miwa Yoshida’s soaring vocals are truly wonderful.

The emotions packed into the song come through so powerfully.

Given its content, I’d recommend it not so much as a breakup song to listen to yourself, but as a song to give to a friend who’s heartbroken and feeling down.

DREAMS COME TRUE – “Love Alone Isn’t Enough”

In love, the feeling of “liking” someone is essential.

However, that alone doesn’t always make things work.

DREAMS COME TRUE’s 2001 release “Suki Dake ja Dame Nanda” (“Liking You Isn’t Enough”) is a song about a woman who, being so absorbed in someone, becomes worn out by a painful romance.

Even if your heart flutters for a wonderful person and you’re certain, “This must be love,” if you can’t trust them or feel safe when you’re together, you’re the one who ends up hurting.

Sometimes things fail precisely because you like them too much.

It’s a song that captures the difficulty of love.

DREAMS COME TRUE – Don’t Forget

This is the 10th single by DREAMS COME TRUE, released in October 1991.

It was also included on the album MILLION KISSES, released the following month, which became a huge hit and was certified 2× Million by the Recording Industry Association of Japan.

The lyrics dwell on lingering feelings for a former lover, and the heartfelt plea—“Even if you hate me, please don’t forget me”—is deeply moving.

It’s a ballad that gently wraps the pain of parting.

Sad KissDREAMS COME TRUE20rank/position

DREAMS COME TRUE – Sad Kiss (from DWL 2015 Live Ver.)

Sad Kiss by DREAMS COME TRUE is a song that captures the pain of heartbreak—the feeling of “This isn’t how it was supposed to be.” It’s included on their debut album, DREAMS COME TRUE, which bears the band’s name, and it was also used as an insert song in the film A Bouquet for Yamada Baba.

Even a single kiss, given to help with letting go, becomes unforgettable and only deepens the pain.

Human hearts are complicated; it’s not so easy to give up or neatly move on.

Perhaps only time can truly heal us.

Take your time listening closely to Sad Kiss, and slowly find your way to recovery.
