Dreams Come True -- Love Love Love


Personally, "Love Love Love" isn't one of my favourite Dreams Come True songs. Not to say it's a bad song but it has to wait in line behind a number of other DCT tunes like "Kessen wa Kin'youbi", "Winter Song" and "Ureshii! Tanoshii! Daisuki!"

Still, the group's 8th No. 1 hit of their career was a monster after it was released in July 1995. It became the No. 1 song of the year and sold 2 million discs. The lyrics were provided by vocalist Miwa Yoshida(吉田美和) and the music was by leader Masato Nakamura(中村正人). It was also a track on DCT's 1996 album, "Love Unlimited" which became the 8th-ranked album of the year. And it probably still is a popular tune at karaoke and weddings. A person can be forgiven if he had forgotten that "Love Love Love" had actually been a theme song for a popular TBS drama "Aishiteiru to Ittekure"(愛していると言ってくれ....Tell Me You Love Me).

Listening to it again after so many years, I can't help but get that Beatles influence from it.
