Information
DREAMS COME TRUE, sometimes referred by their fans as DCT or Dorikamu, was formed in 1988 by Nakamura Masato (arranger, producer, bassist and overall mastermind behind the group), Yoshida Miwa (lead vocalist, songwriter and frontwoman) and the former member Nishikawa Takahiro (keyboardist) who left the group on March 24, 2002.
Yoshida Miwa was discovered by Nishikawa Takahiro after he and Nakamura Masato met. For a short period of time they had a different group name, CHA-CHA&AUDREY's PROJECT, but they quickly changed it to the actual name.
They officially debuted in 1989 with the simultaneous release of the single Anata ni Aitakute and the self-titled album DREAMS COME TRUE under EPIC Sony Records.
In 1994 DREAMS COME TRUE went to the USA to record Eternity for the animated movie The Swan Princess soundtrack.
In 1997 the group changed their label from EPIC Sony Records to Toshiba EMI while they also signed with Virgin Records America making possible for them to release internationally. With this chance they released the Worldwide Version of SING OR DIE in the USA and they made a six city tour in support of it.
In 2002, Nishikawa Takahiro left the group getting later in troubles due to drug use. On the same year, the contracts of DREAMS COME TRUE with Toshiba EMI and Virgin Records America expired. The duo formed their own record label, DCT Records, releasing their only 2002 single IT'S ALL ABOUT LOVE under this independent label. Two years later, they released the next single, Yasashii Kiss wo Shite along with Universal Music label.
DREAMS COME TRUE have had a large number of hits and records to their name. In the Oricon chart they have had 24 top five singles, 10 of which reached #1, as well as 11 #1 albums. Their second album, LOVE GOES ON... spent over four years on the charts, while their fifth, The Swinging Star, was the first album in Japanese history to sell more than 3 million copies. Their best selling single is LOVE LOVE LOVE, which sold more than two million copies in 1995.
Never resting on their laurels, DREAMS COME TRUE combine styles and influence from various genres including pop, R&B, jazz, funk, disco, soul, rock, and even classical. With an impressive 22 albums released to date, as well as many singles, DREAMS COME TRUE continue to produce well-selling pop music.
