After listening to it many times, I believe it is:

"I really love you, and you know, I'd swear that you and I should meet. It feels so good, and I'm sure that we were meant to be as one."

Doesn't exactly make sense, but I've seen much worse English in other Japanese songs.

Right now, besides the wallpapers, there are live reports from the 2002 U.S. concerts. I believe they also announce special events for members- I hope I am actually in Japan sometime when one of these occur. If anything else shows up, I'll let everybody know.

DCT Wallpapers from POWER PLANT

I have been requested to post the wallpapers available from Power Plant. To see them, go to: http://www.msnusers.com/DCTWallpapers/pictures They change them each month, as they are callendars. Kind of fun, although I have yet to have anyone ask me what 'DCTgarden.com' is. Hmm... got to get the word ...

I'll bet Fuji TV and showtime.jp have better quality images... I suppose Fuji sold showtime the rights to their filming, so who knows when or if they'll ever air it... Anyway, regardless of the format, DCT made it onto the DVD, which is all for the good.

It's logical to look at DCT's albums from 'Sing or Die' on as a separate stage, possibly due to the change in record companies the band made at this point (which also meant changes in producers, engineers, musicians, and so forth). Their major attempt to crack the U.S. market began at this time also...

That's what I'm doing- you'll get the 'making of amoretto' DVD that way.

I don't understand why some people can't seem to get into DCT's earlier work, but I think maybe they're just not listening hard enough. Nor do I understand why the first album gets panned- it's good! Don't expect a high level of sophistication on a first album, just listen to Miwa's talent, range, a...

Thanks for the info, Tachikaze. It's interesting to look at the pieces of the puzzle of why DCT failed to get a foothold in the U.S. I'm surprised that their lawyers didn't let them know one of the best ways to stir people up here is to apply for a liquor license. I wonder how things would have turn...

I believe they were just comparing audiences to show that Japanese audiences are generally more well-behaved. I don't think Masa was making any remarks in particular about U.S. audiences; rather, it was the interviewer who was expressing his doubts. Perhaps the Live 8 DVD appearance will spark new i...

DCT Garden Ikeda has a display of Miwa's stage costumes, a small library of her favorite books, a viewing area with a couch that belonged to her that viewers may sit on while they watch DVD's, and a store where special DCT items only available there may be purchased. I don't know if this was the sam...

POWER PLANT EXPRESS interview with Masato Nakamura

(From July 2005 issue) Interviewer: This is your solo interview. How is Miwa doing after the tour? Is she doing well? Masa: Yes, she is doing well. I talked with her this morning. Since 'What Mee Mee Wants' has started, the response has been so much more than we expected, or as we expected, it is ge...

showtime.jp is making the live 8 japan broadcast available by performer. Unfortunately, it's pay-per-view, and DCT's set will not be available until October. Where's that Fuji TV broadcast?

You can actually see some photos of DCT (2!) in Live 8 Japan at
phillyBurbs.com. Looks like Masa got a haircut...

Still no word on the concert broadcast, though.

POWER PLANT

With the help of my wife and her Mother I have been able to join POWER PLANT. It appears that a Japanese mailing address is necessary in order to fill out the application form. I have received a special Diamond 15 magazine, a July newsletter, and a membership card with protector and a very nice Dori...
