Dreams Come True

With roots in jazz and classic R&B and music employing touches of techno, Japanese pop/rockers Dreams Come True became one of their country's biggest stars in the '90s, when they sold most of the total 50 million units of their entire career. They were also one of the few Japanese bands to attempt winning the West before the "anime boom" of the 2000s, with vocalist Yoshida Miwa even scoring an appearance on the cover of Time magazine. Dreams Come True didn't make a big name for themselves in the States, but remained an ever-present entry in the Japanese scene. ~ Alexey Eremenko
