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".
悲しいKiss
DREAMS COME TRUE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
風が涙さらう前に"さよなら"さえ
言いだせない私が
ありったけの勇気で
あなたにもらった
最初で最後の kiss
しめつけられる胸が
痛くて動けない
こんなに悲しいなんて
思ってなかった
一度 抱きしめてもらえたなら
あきらめつくはずだったのに
こんなに悲しい kiss なら
二度といらない
誰も見ないで 足を止めないで
こんな私を 見ないで
あなたが言う
ちょっとしたことにさえ
くじけそうな恋だった
ひそやかさと 臆病になることを
まちがえてたこと知った
あなたが去く日に
背中を押されながら
想いを断つための 決心だったのに
こんなに悲しいなんて
思ってなかった
これで「終わった」と 笑いながら
報告するはずだったのに
こんなに悲しい kiss なら
二度といらない
声をかけないで かまわずに行って
悔やんでばかりの私
誰も見ないで 足を止めないで
声をかけないで かまわずに行って
The lyrics of DREAMS COME TRUE's song "悲しいKiss" tell a story of unrequited love and the pain and heartbreak associated with it. The singer expresses their feelings of sadness and regret, wishing they had the courage to say goodbye before the wind carried away their tears. They reflect on the bittersweet kiss they shared with their love, a kiss that was both their first and last. The heaviness in their chest makes it difficult for them to move on, and they never expected to feel such sadness.
The singer acknowledges that if they had been given the chance to be held and embraced just once, they would have relinquished their feelings and given up. The sadness they are experiencing from this kiss is so overwhelming that they declare they never want to experience it again. They plea for others not to see them in this state, not to stop and stare, as they feel vulnerable and exposed.
The lyrics also mention how the love they had for their significant other was fragile, easily broken by even the slightest things they said. They realize that they had mistaken secrecy and fear as a necessary part of love, but now they understand their mistake. They thought that the day their love left, it would be the push they needed to sever their feelings, but instead, it has left them feeling heartbroken.
In summary, "悲しいKiss" portrays the pain and unexpected depth of sorrow that comes with unrequited love. It explores feelings of regret, vulnerability, and the realization of misunderstood love.

悲しい キス
たった一度 抱きしめてくれるなら
僅僅 祇能是一次的抱擁
風が涙さらう前に"さよなら"さえ
那麼 就讓春風
掠奪 我的淚水
在“互道珍重 ”之際
言いだせない私が
哽咽喉頭的嘟噥
ありったけの勇気で
一鼓作氣地勇敢
あなたにもらった
是你所給予
最初で最後の キス
初始與終結的親吻
しめつけられる胸が
綑綁的胸口
揪心的禁錮著
痛くて動けない
動彈不得的傷痛
こんなに悲しいなんて
如此的 切切悲戚
思ってなかった
纏繞著 始料未及
一度 抱きしめてもらえたなら
如果 再度繾綣的擁抱
あきらめつくはずだったのに
仍然是敬謝不敏的斷念
こんなに悲しい キス なら
二度といらない
傷悲的臨別之吻
重蹈覆徹的多此一舉
誰も見ないで 足を止めないで
視而不見的灑脫舉步
步出藩籬的輕鬆愉快
こんな私を 見ないで
這樣的我
是你前所未見的衿持
あなたが言う
對你而言
ちょっとしたことにさえ
微不足道的不值一提
くじけそうな恋だった
卻是我 心灰意冷的癡戀
ひそやかさと 臆病になることを
強言卻脆弱
掖藏深處的撕心裂肺
まちがえてたこと知った
心照不宣的將錯就錯
あなたが去く日に
當你 離去之際
背中を押されながら
背對背地 推離
想いを断つための 決心だったのに
悲莫無言
哀莫心死的絕望
こんなに悲しいなんて
如此刻骨的傷悲
思ってなかった
措不及防的銘心
これで「終わった」と 笑いながら
似笑非笑的苦澀
“ 曲終人散 終須一別 ”
報告するはずだったのに
口是心非的自圓其說
こんなに悲しい キス なら
誰 稀罕苦澀的一吻？
二度といらない
欲蓋彌彰的甜美親密
声をかけないで かまわずに行って
多說無益的唇舌
別在意的闊步前行
悔やんでばかりの私
總是 懊悔莫及的我.....

無端天與娉婷
夜月一簾幽夢
春風十里柔情
那一眼 很難忘
不能忘 也不敢忘
忘了 此生就什麼都沒有了
持著紅線
相繫我們的今生
在 義無反顧的年少青春
即使情緣
早已 斑駁碎裂
即使 春風吹拂了半生
仍沒能吹進 僅僅十里心田
紛紛雜雜 紊紊亂亂
惶惶 癡迷亂絮
恍恍 目眩神離
第一眼 就愛上妳
