In 1993, they recorded "Winter Song" for the opening theme of the TriStar Pictures film Sleepless in Seattle and the following year recorded the song "Eternity" for the animated film The Swan Princess by New Line Cinema. In Japan, they recorded theme songs for TBS television shows, and it wasn't long before they caught the attention of the Walt Disney company, and were hired to create musical-tunes for their television shows, and attractions at the Tokyo Disney Resort. In 2001, they composed the theme song for the Japanese release on the Disney film Atlantis, and Miwa was hired to be the voice actor for the character Audrey Rocio Ramirez in the Japanese version.
Miwa Yoshida started a solo music career in 1995, and the following year appeared on the cover of Time Magazine. She has also appeared in advertisements for Sony, Visa, Honda, Shiseido, Lotte, Vodafone, and Coca Cola. Meanwhile Masato was hired to compose the music for television commercials, and around the same time compiled various "Dreams Come True" songs for Konami to be used in their game series Dance Dance Revolution. He had previously been hired to compose the music for the Sonic the Hedgehog video games on the Sega Mega Drive.
On April 1, 1996, they released Love Unlimited, which would be their final album for Sony Music. News of their departure would cause Sony Music shares to drop severely on the Tokyo Stock Exchange.
They later signed with Virgin Music America and Toshiba-EMI in Japan, due to that label's promises to break the group into the American market--something Sony was unwilling to do. Their first album under the new contract, Sing Or Die (a title that half-jokingly described the band's relationship with their former label, according to Nakamura), was released in an English-language version, but received very little promotion and even less airplay. It would be the band's final album as a trio, and Takahiro Nishikawa would depart the band shortly after its release. Sing or Die was Virgin's only attempt to penetrate the American market, and its failure would taint the band's future relationship with that label.
Part of the failure of the Virgin-DCT relationship can be laid at the label's attempt to renovate the band into something the American audiences could relate to. Miwa dropped her last name, Nakamura became "King Masa," but Nishikawa remained the same, and only received a passing mention on Sing or Die's liner notes. Musically, the album veered away from the classic DCT formula and deeper into the hip-hop dance theme begun on Delicious and Love Unlimited. The combination was not well-received by American audiences, nor DCT's legion of loyal Japanese fans.
There are conflicting accounts concerning Nishikawa's departure. Nishikawa himself states both he and longtime DCT producer Mike Pela were forced out by Virgin because they didn't fit into the label's makeover for the band. However, he also adds that prior to that, he hadn't been touring with DCT for some time, which supports the official account. At present, there seems to be little chance of Nishikawa playing with his former bandmates ever again.
Following 2001's monkey girl odyssey, DCT severed all ties with Virgin and Toshiba-EMI, and set up shop with Universal Music Japan. More recent albums such as The Love Rocks and And I Love You have returned to the classic DCT sound, and have been received more warmly.
They have also been involved in charity events. Including a collaboration with Ryuichi Sakamoto in 2001 to help raise funds for land mine removal agencies, and taking part in the Live 8 benefit concert in 2005.
In 2008, their single "Tsuretette Tsuretette" debuted a top on the Oricon weekly chart, nine years since their last number-one single "Asa ga Mata Kuru". The song also appears on the band's album Do You Dreams Come True?. The album is available in three versions: A single disc version, containing the main album; a second that adds Greatest Hits: The Soul 2, a sequel to their 2000 greatest-hits package; and a third that adds a live DVD, "Winter Fantasia 2008."
In 2010, they released their download only single "Godspeed", where the title is meant to be an even stronger wish of "Good Luck" for everyone to listen to it. In November of that same year, they released their 23rd album, Love Central, their second on Universal Music Japan's Nayutawave label.
In 2011, another Best-Of compilation, titled " THE SOUL FOR THE PEOPLE~Higashi-Nihon Daishinsai Shien Best Album~ . The profits from this album's sales go completely towards the Japanese Red Cross' Tohoku earthquake relief efforts.
DCT's latest single, "MY TIME TO SHINE", is set to be released on May 16th, 2012.
2) The 80's Hi NRG disco duo, Abbe Kanter and Stacy Dunne, that released one single in 1989, "Sweet Magic".

伝えたい言葉は 届くだろう?
誰かや何かに怒っても
出口はないなら
何度でも何度でも何度でも 立ち上がり呼ぶよ
きみの名前 声が涸れるまで
がんばってもどうしようもない時も
きみを思い出すよ
10000回だめで へとへとになっても
10001回目は 何か 変わるかもしれない
口にする度 本当に伝えたい言葉は
ぽろぽろとこぼれて 逃げていく
悲しみに支配させて ただ
潰されるのなら
何度でも何度でも何度でも 立ち上がり呼ぶよ
きみの名前 声が涸れるまで
落ち込んで やる気ももう底ついて
がんばれない時も きみを思い出すよ
10000回だめで かっこ悪くても
10001回目は 何か 変わるかもしれない
前を向いてしがみついて
胸掻きむしって あきらめないで叫べ!
何度でも何度でも何度でも 立ち上がり呼ぶよ
きみの名前 声が涸れるまで
悔しくて苦しくて がんばってもどうしようもない時も
きみの歌を思い出すよ
この先も躓いて傷ついて傷つけて
終わりのないやり場のない怒りさえ
もどかしく抱きながら
どうしてわからないんだ? 伝わらないんだ?
喘ぎ嘆きながら 自分と戦ってみるよ
10000回だめで 望みなくなっても

きみを呼ぶ声 力にしていくよ 何度も

The lyrics to DREAMS COME TRUE's song "Nandodemo" talk about the struggles and disappointments that one may face in life. The first verse questions how many times one must wipe away tears before they can convey their message to someone. The following lines suggest that even if someone is angry or upset with something, there may not always be a way to express their emotions. However, the chorus repeats "Nandodemo," which translates to "any number of times," depicting the idea of getting back up and calling out someone's name until you're hoarse. The second verse repeats the sentiment of struggling and how in these moments, thinking about the person's name that you're calling out may provide some comfort or motivation. The bridge talks about not giving up and continuing to fight through life's challenges, even if it may be frustrating or painful. The ending lines of the song suggest that no matter how many times one may fail, there's always a chance for a hopeful outcome if they continue to persist.
