DREAMS COME TRUE – “Nando Demo”

A message of unyielding resilience—rising again and again despite setbacks and failures—lies at the heart of DREAMS COME TRUE’s 35th single.

Released in February 2005, the song was written specifically as the theme for Fuji TV’s drama Emergency Ward 24 Season 3.

The production background—carefully reading the script and crafting the song to stand beside those who face life and death on the medical front lines—adds a deeply moving layer.

From the restrained opening verse, the melody soars in the chorus, with strings and rich choral work amplifying the sense of scale—an exceptional arrangement.

Miwa Yoshida’s powerful yet gentle vocals give listeners a comforting push forward.

The song was also used as the theme for the film “Mayu: Kokoro no Hoshi” and in a Sumitomo Life commercial, and in 2020 it became a message song for a healthcare worker support project.

It’s the kind of anthem you’ll want by your side when taking a first step into a new season—or when you hit a wall and feel like you might stop.

DREAMS COME TRUE – “Give Me a Gentle Kiss”

Yasashii Kiss o Shite has the vibe of an adult kayōkyoku song.

With Miwa Yoshida’s breathy, soft vocals and beautiful lingering endings, it’s perfect for practicing vibrato.

Start with clear, firm diction, then gently add a breathy, spoken feel and a light wobble.

If you keep too much tension, your throat will tighten on the high notes before the chorus, so relax and avoid tensing your body.

For the A melody, imagine placing the voice right in front of you as you sing; your tone will naturally start to shimmer.

The Future Projection II

A signature ballad by Dreams Come True that captures lovers’ hopes for the future.

Included on the album “LOVE GOES ON…” released in November 1989, this piece is an expansive piano ballad running over seven minutes, yet it carefully portrays everyday scenes like phone conversations and casual gestures during a drive.

In 1993, it was featured in a Sony Handycam commercial, and the “brake light” moment mentioned in the lyrics became such a hot topic that many couples imitated it.

Beloved as a wedding and reception staple, it’s also sure to wrap a year-end party in warmth if you sing it there.

With its relaxed tempo that makes it easy to sing and the comfort of being widely known across generations, it’s a perfect choice for karaoke.

HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAYDREAMS COME TRUE4rank/position

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

When it comes to DREAMS COME TRUE’s birthday songs, this is the one, right? This track, included on the album “MAGIC” released in December 1993, never fails to put you in a happy mood.

The heartfelt wish to be the very first to celebrate right after the date changes comes through so clearly.

The handclaps and chorus-centered sound really heighten the bubbly excitement.

If you sing this for a surprise for a friend, it’s sure to liven up the moment and make them happy!

Osaka LoverDREAMS COME TRUE5rank/position

DREAMS COME TRUE – "Osaka LOVER"

It’s a tie-in song for Universal Studios Japan’s attraction “Hollywood Dream – The Ride.” It’s said to be a love song that portrays the bittersweet feelings of a woman in a long-distance relationship, using Osaka dialect lyrics and a vibe described as “adorably silly with a touch of melancholy.” When you sing it, pay attention to the bouncy rhythm.

It would be a shame if the A-melody sounded flat, so it’s recommended to keep a solid sense of rhythm as you sing.

The chorus starts with the syllable “na,” so the pronunciation should have a slightly nasal quality.

It seems better to come in a bit earlier than you think.

Since the overall range is on the higher side, keep your pitch from dropping by lifting your eyebrows and facial muscles, projecting crisply as if resonating in your head at all times.

If you sing it cutely in Osaka dialect, everyone around you is sure to feel uplifted!
