Here at the word processor couple, DREAMS COME TRUE is a band that can make the dream of love come true.

For others, the song DREAMS COME TRUE has a different meaning.

Seeing Yuji Miyake announce on TV that the band's debut single has been released, Junko has a feeling of "it's finally here". On the weekend of the next day, during her lunch break, she walked into the record store near her part-time job.

For Junko, who needs to rely on a part-time job to raise her daughter alone, she can't spend even the money for a cassette tape in a budget-conscious life.

She not only has a boring life, but also has her own little fun and her favorite singer in her life of poverty day after day.

Junko likes The Checkers, and she also likes Hikari GENJI's always energetic beautiful boys, but almost always rips their new songs on tape, and only occasionally does she like it too much that she buys one as a compliment to herself.

BUT THIS TIME, SHE WAS WILLING TO BUY THE TAPE IN THE FIRST PLACE FOR THE SAKE OF DREAMS COME TRUE.

It's not because they're just making their debut, and it's hard to hear their songs on TV or radio like The Checkers or Genji Hikaru, so they don't want to wait, just out of a pure desire to get the tape sooner.

Then, take it back as a gift for your daughter.

I happened to see a performance of DREAMS COME TRUE in the band Heaven and learned about this band. My daughter watched TV and learned the lyrics of "So happy, so happy, so like!".

witnessed the victory of DREAMS COME TRUE in the show, but in reality, Junko and her daughter, the lives of the two who depend on each other have not undergone any miraculous changes.

Junko still has to work hard for a living, and when she is extremely tired, she even has a feeling that her heart is numb. The daughter still has to be fostered by her to the neighbor's aunt after school, get off work, and then carry her daughter home.

Nothing has changed.

If there is anything more, it is only the lyrics of "so happy, so happy, so like!" that my daughter sings from time to time.

Children, after watching the game, in the whole song, only remember this one sentence. However, after watching the show, when my daughter was playing games or playing with toys, she sometimes remembered and hummed this and only lyrics that she remembered.

Does such a young child know what he is singing?

However, Junko knows that her daughter will only think of singing this lyric when she is having fun and in a good mood. So, as long as you hear her sing like this, you know that she is happy.

Although she is young and does not understand the meaning of the three words happy, happy and like, she explains everything with practical actions.

Whenever she hears her daughter sing like this, Junko reaps a subtle happiness from her daughter, and truly feels that her current boring and day-to-day life is not meaningless, but has created such happiness.

Because of this, her tired body was injected with strength again, and her heart, which was about to be numb, also flooded with vitality.

Nothing has changed, but, because of this small opportunity with DREAMS COME TRUE, Junko has the power to perceive the small happiness that has been overlooked.

The next day, Monday, morning was a rare time for both mother and daughter to be awake and still together, perhaps because they wanted to spend more time with their mother, and the daughter almost never slept lazy.

"By the way, I bought you a gift. After breakfast, Junko said to her daughter.

Hearing the gift, the daughter let out an energetic cheer.

Junko went to find the cassette tape she bought, took the tape recorder, put the tape inside, and pressed the play button. While she was doing these things, her daughter always watched her mother's every move with expectant eyes.

"From the moment I first met you......"

In the small room, the gentle and powerful voice of the lead singer of DREAMS COME TRUE sounded. The melody gradually became familiar, and when she heard "so happy, so happy, so happy!", the daughter clapped her little hands happily.

"So happy, so happy, so happy!" she sang along with the lyrics in a milky voice.

Junko starts a new week, a new day, with this feeling of smile and happiness.

......

DREAMS COME TRUE is a song that can make the dream of love come true and bring small happiness to life, and many people have been infected by the band when they hear this song in the band's heavenly kingdom.

However, there are also many more people who want to play this song on the car stereo when it's on a drive, want to play this song at a party, want to listen to this song when they're in a good mood, want to listen to this song when they're in a bad mood, or just because it's good.

They picked up the single in the record store for a variety of reasons. And these people from all walks of life, with different identities and different ideas, no matter what reason they bought this single, there is one thing that remains the same -

That is, supporting the dream of DREAMS COME TRUE on stage.

The band's ratings for Heaven are high, and the band even set a record when it performs. The audience still remembered the wonderful performance of the band when they first competed, and there were even Glico commercials that began to broadcast in the middle of the show a few days in advance to help them revise.

Now, Yuji Miyake has publicly announced on the show that the single has been released, which undoubtedly adds another fire.

Debuting from a popular show, this starting point is very high among newcomer bands, not to mention that the publicity of this debut is not small, and the topic is enough, and after the official distribution and shelf, the sales trend is also quite eye-catching, even better than the initial sales trend when BEGIN, which they won the championship earlier, released their debut single.

The reason for this is that the song "So Happy, So Happy, So Liked!" is more catchy, suitable for being put on various occasions and easy to sing, while "Love しくて" is suitable for quiet listening and appreciation.

Compared with the subtlety of "Love しくて", the lyrics of Miwa Yoshida's straight ball make young people feel more refreshing.

DREAMS COME TRUE AND BERGIN ARE THE CHAMPION BANDS THAT CAME OUT OF THE SAME SHOW, SO NATURALLY THEY ARE COMPARED TOGETHER FROM TIME TO TIME, ALTHOUGH THE STYLES BETWEEN THE TWO ARE COMPLETELY DIFFERENT.

In the same way, the later champion bands will definitely be compared to them.

However, as a band that debuted in the draft, both bands got off to a good start.

BEGIN, WHO DEBUTED EARLY IN DREAMS COME TRUE, HAS SOLD NEARLY 200,000 COPIES OF THIS SINGLE SO FAR, AND ITS BEST RANKING ON THE SALES CHART IS NUMBER THREE, AND THIS "LOVE しくて" HAS ALSO BECOME A HIT RECENTLY.

It is also out of the same program, and BEGIN's results can be used as a reference.

When the sales comparison was fed back to the record company and the office, people on both sides were quite excited, and they all had the same idea, and there was a high probability that the debut song DREAMS COME TRUE would become popular!

The first batch of 50,000 singles, according to the current trend analysis, must not be enough to sell, but how much to replenish next, we have to be comprehensive to judge.

Not only is BEGIN's sales trend, market feedback, and chart performance combined, but what impact the upcoming debut album will bring is the last thing to be considered.

DREAMS COME TRUE's debut single and debut album CD were released at the same time, and only a week in between, "So Happy, So Happy, So Happy, So Like!" was not only the band's debut single, but also the first single of their debut album.

Despite this, compared to the debut single, the attention of the debut album is not too strong now, and it has not affected the sales of the single too much because of the album, although there is also a small number of viewers who consider that there is this song in the album anyway, it is better not to buy the single and buy the album directly, but it is only a minority.

The reason for this is a problem that the band from the talent show must face, that is, their debut single is also the most well-known song to the audience, while the album is strange and unknown.

What has been experienced and what is unknown, the audience will naturally not treat them equally.

On the premise that they can't believe in the ability of DREAMS COME TRUE to produce an album, the audience will not choose to wait for the album to be released a week later, but will buy the single first with the idea of bringing home the songs they like and can trust first.

Therefore, even if the disc report was released at the same time, the company did not worry about the impact of the single at all, nor did it think that the debut album would have a big impact on the single, nor did it take into account the impact of the album on the sales of the single.

Not only that, but among the things they have to look forward to now is the single that is bought, and how many people are willing to listen to the album.

After some trade-offs, the record company and the office finally decided to print the second batch of 150,000 copies, and they did not put them out immediately, but stored them in the warehouse first, and only waited for the right time to complete the distribution immediately.

......

The record company and the studio discussed the issue of restocking the debut single in advance, and almost simultaneously with these meetings, the debut album was released on the shelves.

There was no need for any additional arrangement, and the clerk at the record store directly put the album and the singles that were on sale.

The cover of the album uses the photo taken by Norinobu Sasayama that "the triangle is the strongest relationship", and the three of them form a harmonious triangle, because the giraffe man has his back to the camera, and there is no incongruity with a person wearing a hood on the cover.

On the back cover of the album, Miwa-chan was used to sort out the hood for the giraffe man taken by Norinobu Sasayama, and Masato Nakamura watched the lively photos with his hands on his hips.

However, compared to the good sales of singles, not many of the people who came to buy the single reached out to the album that was put aside, and the audience was instinctively reluctant to "take risks" for things that had not yet been tried.

Because of this, when planning for the debut, it is necessary to put the cherished and important part of the national tour as a part of the publicity, and hearing is believing.

So, the week the album was released, and the band performed at the first stop of the tour, a small venue in Nagoya, on Friday and Saturday.

From here, performances are scheduled almost every Friday and Saturday for about half a year of touring from Kanto, Kansai and Tokai to Fukuoka and even Hokkaido.

From the band's debut in heaven, in terms of popularity, it is not small for a newcomer band, and such a tour pays more attention to the hope that the audience can appreciate the live charm of the band, and understand that the quality of the tracks included in their album is also very high.

When it came time to make the music, the three of them took the quality of the album very seriously.

For Shinichi Iwahashi, what he thinks about is whether the band can go to the next level, and if the band that has gained popularity because of the band Heaven grows into a more powerful existence, it depends on whether it can produce a good album.

Because the album is a thing that pays more attention to the quality of the band than the single, and can show the band's musical concept more, it is not something that can be made by inspiration alone.

A smooth, repeatable album requires not only inspiration, but also skillful production skills and rich production experience, which are very challenging for the band's professionalism.

If they can only make catchy singles, but not smooth and durable albums, then it will be difficult for the band to make it to the top line, let alone realize the dream of making Miwa-chan's singing voice heard by more people.

Masato Nakamura was born as a professional musician and was deeply influenced by Western music, so he shared the same ideas as Shinichi Iwahashi, and he always regarded integrity and audibility as uncompromising elements in the production of albums.

As for Miwa-chan, although it is difficult to explain these things in professional words, however, Yumi Matsutoya, whom she admires, is a singer who pays great attention to the integrity and audibility of the album, and sometimes even sacrifices singles that sell well for the sake of wholeness, so it is recognized that Yumi Matsutoya's album is very durable.

It doesn't even have to be described by Miwa-chan in her abstract words, just to say "I want to make an album like Yumi-san", and Shinichi Iwahashi and Masato Nakamura also knew that the three of them had reached a perfect agreement on this matter.

So, also for this perfectly agreed goal, the three of them toured together to promote the new album.

......

On Friday afternoon, the group took the Shinkansen from Tokyo to Nagoya for the premiere of today's tour.

The protector, Miwa-chan, is definitely going to sit with her (self-proclaimed) guardian, Shinichi Iwahashi, and the staff who have been working together for a while are used to it.

To be honest, at first, I thought that this band was composed of a pair of small couples and a light bulb, and there were many staff members with this idea.

Miwa-chan, who is keen on live performances and loves the stage, is in a good mood and is looking forward to her upcoming performance in Nagoya.

"Shen Yijun. She lowered her voice.

"Huh?" Iwahashi tilted his head away, thinking she was going to say something.

"I haven't met the audience in Nagoya yet. ”

As a result, as soon as I opened my mouth, I didn't know how to react.

Shinichi Iwahashi was speechless.

It's as if the people of Nagoya have grown something more than people in other places.
