Here's my two cents on the newer stuff. I like Love Overflows. It's not all great, but there's a lot of good stuff on it. The Mascara and Yasashi Kiss singles didn't do much for me, but I really liked It's All About Love. Does Miwa's Beauty and Harmony II count? If so, it counts for a lot, because t...

For what it's worth, the itsu no ma ni video, directed by Sueda Ken, is one of my favorite DCT videos. It's really offbeat with the old dude spinning the discs on the turntable and the young guy burning it up with the hula hoop. And Miwa has some very cool things going on with her hair in the video....

Wow. Am I ever glad I got this Limited Edition CD/DVD combo. Some comments on the CD. Love the jazzy sophisticated arrangement on This it it, You're the One, I Knew It. The infectious melody is still there, but it also shows their growth as musicians. The lyrics work great, IMO. It's All About Love ...

I placed my order as soon as I read your message. I should have checked CDJapan. I had no idea that a DVD was included.

James,
In the original message about Love Overflows, you mentioned a DVD. What DVD are you talking about? Is there a DVD included with Love Overflows? I would definitely want it if there is one.
Thanks.

In the Media Info at DCTgarden.com, it says they are scheduled to appear March 3 or 4 on Hey, Hey, Hey, which is carried on the TVJapan network in the States. No idea when it will be broadcast on TV Japan, but it's something to look forward to.

Overall rating: Five stars out of five. They did it again. What a show, what a band. I received the DVD on Dec. 31 after ordering it on Dec. 17. First, regarding the region 2 thing, I lucked out and have a TV (Philips) with built-in player that plays the region 2 dvds. But I noticed that the DVD pla...

Jei, My mind is racing with the possible implications of this announcement. Specifically, could there possibly be North American tour dates in support of this album? I recall that Miwa told some audiences during the 2002 West Coast tour that she would "see them soon" or words to that effect. I'd giv...

This particular episode of Hey, Hey, Hey just aired on TV Japan on Sunday night (I live in Sacramento). Some thoughts: Miwa looked and sounded great. You can really tell that she takes great care of herself and her voice. The way she's going, she's still going to be making great music at 50. The lin...

I'm really looking forward to the acoustic Ureshii, Tanoshii, Daisuki. Watching their live performances of that song, it always reminds me of when Springsteen plays Born to Run. All the house lights go up and everyone is out of his seat. Even though everyone knows the song is coming, it's still spon...

Regarding the odd English lyrics, lots of Japanese pop songs have English words or phrases inserted apropos of nothing at all. Actually, one of the many things that I like about DCT is that their use of English is very effective and natural, at least in my opinion. A good example of this is on "Iro ...

I've been away for a while, but couldn't help but jump in on this topic. Songwriting is one of the more mysterious processes around and there's no surefire forumula. Listening to both English and Japanese versions of DCT songs, I have the following observations: The hooks in DCT songs are huge, tota...

Really appreciate the info, especially when we can expect to see the broadcast. Can't wait.

It's gonna be a happy holiday season, DCT Fans

I'll check those out and also thanks very much for the lyric translations. It really helps us to understand what the songs are about and to enjoy the music even more.
