04.12.2006 - Back in the year 2000 I was introduced to a japanese jazz group, which was founded back in 1988. They are Dreams Come True a three man-band with frontwoman Yoshida Miwa on vocals, Nakamura Masato bassist, and Nishikawa Takahiro keyboardist. Lovingly referred to as DCT and dorikamu by their fans. I bought my original copy of The Soul: Greatest Hits on my last trip to Hongkong in December 2000. Unfortunately I lost the CD and was trying to get another one at a local Tower Records. Its disappointing to know that our local record store doesn't carry enough JPOP variety of songs anymore, and to think they are one of the sponsors who brought in Core of Soul last February. 
So far they're the band that introduced me to the culture of JPOP. The album The Soul: Greatest Hits is composed of a 2 disc compilation of there best songs from the previous ten albums, that they have produced since 1988. There current album is Love Rocks, which debut last February of this year. Celebrating eighteen years of DCT, and sad to say there won't be any of it sold here. For now this the best album for me going back, where I was the happiest and here's the title track of the 2 disc album....

Yoshida Miwa inspired by Ella Fitzgerald cant get enough of her style, and the band won't be the same without Nishikawa Takahiro after leaving in 2002. Still Dorikamu is here to stay.
