Once the TV commercial was on air, not only Dori Kamu fans but also Sonic’s fans were so thrilled to see DREAMS COME TRUE’s new song, “-ON THE GREEN HILL-” which is a collaboration with Ito En’s “Oi Ocha”. Prior to the release of the CD, “Tsugino Seno! De - ON THE GREEN HILL -MASADO & MIWASCO VERSION” , which is included in the CD, has been released earlier in the week.

In the CD there are two different versions of the song,  “Tsugino Seno! De - ON THE GREEN HILL”.One song, “Tsugino Seno! De - ON THE GREEN HILL  – DCT VERSION'' has already been released and it’s on air as a TV commercial.And the other recorded song  “Tsugino Seno! De - ON THE GREEN HILL - MASADO & MIWASCO VERSION” has just been released today.MASADO & MIWASCO VERSION have a great affinity for game music. You will be startled to notice the sound of getting coins in a row, or a sound similar to the back spin of Sonic.

The CD album cover, which was released at the same time, is a first collaboration between the virtual DREAMS COME TRUE (Dori Kamu)  “MASADO AND MIWASCO” and the popular character Sonic from SEGA Mega Drive Games Soft “Sonic the Hedgehog”. 

Masato Nakamura himself was amazed by this miracle and said this is as amazing as a miracle like a planetary alignment. When the image of the CD album cover was released by Sonic, fans went viral, since it was before Dori Kamu’s official information. And the news has been trending even before the CD has been released.

The Masterpieces of DREAMS COME TRUE are Recorded by a World-Famous Belgian ocarina player, Tom Vanopphem with 'Bittersweet'!

World-famous ocarina player from Belgium, Tom Vanopphem announced that he will be teaming up with UNIVERSAL MUSIC JAPAN with an official cover album of Bittersweet, September 22. Tom Vanopphem, who is an ocarina player from Belgium, loves Japan and Japanese culture.  He has become popular on social media by playing requested songs with the ocarina.  Speaking fluent Japanese, he has been attracting many followers.  The number of his TikTok followers counts over 330,000. 

After playing the ocarina around the world, Italy, Australia, Belgium, Greece, China, Taiwan, and Japan, he decided to stay in Japan where the video game The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, which Vanopphem is a fan of was born. It gave him an opportunity to get to know the ocarina.  The Japanese culture, economic strength, people’s kindness were additional factors that made him stay.

Vanopphem will releases his major label debut album, Bittersweet, which is a cover album from the band, DREAMS COME TRUE. The ocarina’s sensitive and lyrical sound perfectly matches with the melodies created by the extraordinary melody maker duo, Miwa Yoshida and Masato Nakamura, and enhances the beauty of the songs.

The album consists of ten masterpieces of DREAMS COME TRUE, “Mirai Yosouzu II”, “Suki, Kiminishika Kikoenai”, “Memai”, etc.  In addition, as a bonus track, “Green Hill Zone” from the game SONIC THE HEDGEHOG is included, which was composed by Masato Nakamura. Recently it was played at the opening ceremony of the Tokyo Olympics 2020.  This is actually the song that introduced DREAMS COME TRUE to Vanopphem. Vanopphem plays three octaves with triple ocarina, not the ordinary single ocarina. His ocarina makes you hear the words.  This album is a must-listen for music fans all over the world.
