Dreams come true

Dreams come true, or DCT, is a band formed in 1988.
when i wasnt even born.

a very old band with a very long history.
those who like older songs can find their earlier ones.

doesnt appeal to me that much, so im mainly giving it a miss on my post.

i bring their latest song, nee [pronounced as neh, and not nii]



to me, the song preserves quite abit of her old style without sounding old as a song. well, for a band to come so far, they have adapted to the times quite well i think.

starting deep and rich with emotion, i liked it when they injected the group singing halfway into the song. the element of fun was still evident, tho not as wild like her young days. haha.

i cant believe that im listening to a singer from my mom's generation, and is almost as old as my mom. if i hadnt mentioned they were around for 20 years in the music industry, how old do you suppose she'd be?

certainly not 45, not in my eyes. haha. i think she is really awesome~.~


the next im introducing is called "Good bye my school days"

it has a very quirky way of its song presentation.. as we shall see.



i did give my warning. heh. it sounded like a remix of a few versions.
to clarify my queries, i went on google and found that the single contained 4 tracks


Tracks:
  1. 1. GOOD BYE MY SCHOOL DAYS - DCT ver. -
  2. 2. GOOD BYE MY SCHOOL DAYS - Mikako Tabe ver. -
  3. 3. GOOD BYE MY SCHOOL DAYS - ORESKA BAND ver. -
  4. 4. GOOD BYE MY SCHOOL DAYS - Fuzzy Control ver. -

there.. so the pv actually put in the 4 different tracks.

the cutting of tracks sounded slightly awkward but i smiled at the idea. so, not complains for me.

in addition i learned that the song was penned by our vocalist many years ago in her schooling days, that she saved up for this moment, for DCT's 20th anniversary. woah~


the last of DCT i bring now is called "Snow dance", released before the millenium at dec 1999. much older than the songs above.

the previous 2 were released like only a few mths back and 1 yr back respectively.



the style of song feels older, but i quite like it as its not too oldies type of japanese. [the oldies type i like is perhaps.. country/folk?]

and i like the pv direction. its a simple, one shot video that i find quite astonishing. remarkable, indeed :p

alright. another of my jpop blitz for the day. hope you've enjoyed DCT as much as i did!
