To celebrate the release of the music unit DREAMS COME TRUE's first original album in about nine years, "THE BLACK ◯ ALBUM," WOWOW has announced that it will be programming a special program for 12 consecutive months starting in January next year. The lineup for the three programs starting in January has also been announced.
Starting at 10 PM on January 10th next year, WOWOW Live and WOWOW On Demand will broadcast and stream a live documentary of Dreams Come True's Miwa Yoshida's first solo album tour in 1996, titled "miwa yoshida concert tour beauty and harmony." The tour was held in support of her 1995 solo album "beauty and harmony," and she performed with some of the world's top musicians.
This DVD features newly remastered footage of the rare live documentary from the concert tour featuring Harvey Mason (drums), David T. Walker (guitar), Chuck Rainey (bass), Ralph MacDonald (percussion), Greg Adams (trumpet), Jai Winding (keyboards), and Eric Marienthal (saxophone), and includes interviews and rehearsal footage, primarily from the live performance at Orchard Hall (Shibuya, Tokyo).
