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".
Eternity
DREAMS COME TRUE Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Long before I knew your name
And the only thing I longed for
Was a sign to prove you felt the same.
Somehow I knew your every secret
Just by looking in your eyes
From the very moment I met you
(Just say to me)
I'm gonna love you til the end of the time
Somehow two hearts have made a friend of time
Eternity,
Eternity is on our side.
I'm not afraid to say forever
You have made me feel so sure
Because I know it's everlasting
And I've never had this feeling before
(Keep telling me)
I'm gonna love you til the end of time
Somehow two hearts have made a friend of time
Eternity, I'll love you for eternity
Caught in a tide
And it brought me to you
(Under a spell)
And now I know that dreams come true.
I'm gonna love you til the end of time
Somehow two hearts have made a friend of time
Eternity, eternity, is on our side.
I'm gonna love you til the end of time
Somehow two hearts have made a friend of time
Eternity, eternity, is on our side.
I'm gonna love til the end of time
Somehow two hearts have made a friend of time
Eternity, eternity, is on our side
Eternity, I'll love you for eternity...
The lyrics of DREAMS COME TRUE's song "Eternity" are about the singer's unwavering love for their romantic partner. It describes a love that has been present long before they even knew their partner's name, which was only followed by the singer longing for a sign that the person they loved felt the same way. The lyrics then continue to describe how the singer knew the partner's secrets and feelings just by looking into their eyes. The chorus then states that the singer is not afraid of committing to this love forever, and how they are sure that it will last for eternity. The song is a testament to the strength of love and its ability to transcend time.
The verses of the song are filled with a sense of certainty about the love that the singer has for their partner. The line "Somehow I knew your every secret just by looking in your eyes" shows the level of understanding and connection between the two people in love. This level of intimacy and knowledge of one another is what makes their love last "til the end of time". Similarly, the line "caught in a tide and it brought me to you" portrays the idea that their love was destined to happen, and they were brought together by fate. The chorus serves as an affirmation of their love, with the statement "eternity is on our side" serving to reinforce the idea that their love is stronger than time.
Line by Line Meaning
I knew that we belonged together
I felt a connection with you, even before knowing you
Long before I knew your name
The connection I felt with you was beyond your identity
And the only thing I longed for
All I wished was for a sign that you felt the same way
Was a sign to prove you felt the same.
To know if you had the same feelings as I did, I needed a sign
Somehow I knew your every secret
All of the things you held close to yourself, I somehow knew them without you telling me
Just by looking in your eyes
I could find out everything that you hid in your eyes
From the very moment I met you
Right from the time I first saw you
I was thinking of the rest of our lives (Just say to me)
I thought about spending my entire life with you (Just confirm that you have the same feelings too)
I'm gonna love you til the end of the time
I will love you forever
Somehow two hearts have made a friend of time
Our love has defied the test of time
Eternity, Eternity is on our side.
Our love will last for all of eternity
I'm not afraid to say forever
I am not hesitant to commit to forever
You have made me feel so sure
You give me the confidence to face anything
Because I know it's everlasting
I am certain that our love will last forever
And I've never had this feeling before (Keep telling me)
The love I have for you is different from anything I have experienced before (Please keep assuring me)
Caught in a tide
Set adrift in a flow of emotions from where I could not return
And it brought me to you (Under a spell)
And it led me to you, under a charming spell
And now I know that dreams come true.
Finally, I realize that wishes really do come true
Eternity, eternity, is on our side
Forever and always, we will be together
Eternity, I'll love you for eternity...
Our love will never die, I will love you for all of eternity

For Longer Than Forever (Goku and Vegeta) DBZ Love! Cute
Vegeta: If I could break this spell, I'd run to him today
And somehow I know he's on his way to me
Kakarot, you and I were meant to be
Far longer than forever
I'll hold you in my heart
It's almost like you're here with me
Although we're far apart
Goku:
Far longer than forever
As constant as a star
I close my eyes and I am where you are
Vegeta:
Sure as the dawn brings the sunrise
We've an unshakable bond
Goku:
Destined to last for a lifetime
And beyond
Far longer than forever
Vegeta:
Far longer than forever
Goku:
I swear that I'll be true
Vegeta:
I swear that I'll be true
Goku;
I've made
Vegeta & Goku:
An everlasting vow
To find a way to you
Far longer than forever
Like no love every known
Vegeta:
And with your love
Vegeta & Goku:
I'll never be alone
Vegeta:
Far longer than forever
Goku:
Much stronger than forever
Vegeta:
And with your love I'll never be alone
@JordanVanRyn
I havenโt seen this music video in forever. I loved the swan princess as a kid and this brings back memories.
@Model_Roe
I loved this movie too it was so adorable
@jonestraloma
I am with you. It really was one of the best non-Disney cartoons of its time. And I remember watching the music video at the end of the tape and rewinding it over and over because 10 year old me thought it was such a beautiful song.
@nrwing1986
I still watch it with my niece ๐
@vpenguin333
This was the best part of the movie ending. I truly loved this as a lil kid. I belted it out in my horrible singing voice that has only gotten worse in the years since.
@LadyAiliniel
Swan Princess has a special place in my heart.
@baobypixar5841
Was one of my favorite movies as a kid, and as a Japanese-American I was extremely delighted but also confused by a Japanese group being chosen for the theme lol
@LilyZerep
๐ Thank you! I remember fast forwarding the end credits to watch this music video as a kid. I was so pissed that the Swan Princess DVD I brought didn't have it ๐
@darthkurland
Iโm just surprised that they didnโt include this on the 25th anniversary Blu-Ray release.
@JomasterTheSecond
Probably held up in licensing limbo. Might be because DCT's label would charge extortionate amounts, maybe it might be as simple as Masa and Miwa preferring the Japanese version.
...It's probably the money thing though.
