[DREAMS COME TRUE Profile]
DREAMS COME TRUE consists of bassist, composer, and arranger Masato Nakamura and vocalist, composer, and performer Miwa Yoshida. With their dual identity as the core of the group, they have flexibly sought to create music in a form that is in tune with the times. With the release of “YES AND NO/G” in 2020, the duo embarked on an innovative sound makeover that foreshadowed a “new DREAMS COME TRUE,” and with their latest album “DOSCO prime,” they have adopted a conversion approach of deconstructing and reconstructing their own songs.
In 2021, they released the single “Tsugino seno! De – ON THE GREEN HILL -“. This miraculous song was created by adding “Green Hill Zone” written by Masato Nakamura, the main theme song of the game “Sonic the Hedgehog”, which has been remembered and loved by people all over the world for 30 years , to a new melody and a lyrics by Miwa Yoshida.
Miwa Yoshida wrote the English poem for “Tsugino seno! De – ON THE GREEN HILL -” and the completed song “UP ON THE GREEN HILL from Sonic the Hedgehog Green Hill Zone – MASADO and MIWASCO Version -” will be the Japanese-language theme song for the movie “SONIC THE HEDGEHOG 2” to be released in 2022. In addition, “Tsugino seno! De – ON THE GREEN HILL – MASADO & MIWASCO VERSION” has been chosen as the ending song for the Japanese dubbed version, delighting not only DREAMS COME TRUE fans but Sonic fans worldwide.
Furthermore, their new song “Hanewo Motsu Koibito” was decided the theme song for the insect anime “INSECT LAND” produced by Teruyuki Kagawa. In recent years, DREAMS COME TRUE’s virtual characters “MASADO & MIWASCO” debuted at “VTuber Fes Japan 2021” and performed live at the world’s first official Paralympic Games “The Pegasus Dream Tour,” and expectations are high for their future activities in both the real and virtual worlds. Next year in 2023, they are scheduled to hold their once-every-four-years Greatest Hits live concert, “DREAMS COME TRUE WONDERLAND 2023, the most powerful mobile amusement park in history“.
