Favorite J-Pop Singles: Dreams Come True / Love, Love, Love

Here’s my personal vote for GREATEST J-POP SINGLE OF ALL TIME, Dreams Come True’s Love, Love, Love which was the theme song for the j-dorama Aishiteiru To Ittekure starring Toyokawa Etsushi and Tokiwa Takako.

Incredible, moving song, and I can’t remember a time when any other theme song was so intimately interwoven throughout the show. Even now, just hearing that harpsichord intro takes me back instantly to the drama!

HEY! HEY! HEY! Music Champ rated Love Love Love as the #2 song of 1996, I would have pushed for that little nudge to get them where I REALLY thought the song belonged! Ahahahaa...

This song has become the band’s signature song, and you can frequently hear them include it in their repertoire, (such as on this past year's Kohaku, among others) and Dreams Come True even performed this song on the LIVE 8 concert, albeit in “english” mode.
