"It's so awesome. When I first heard about Dreams Come True (DCT) the first week of October 2002, although I forgot exactly how I heard about them (but so what, right?), I thought, 'Hey, I kinda like Japanese culture and this would be the first time one of Japan's most popular (or, so I heard, the most popular) music groups would tour on the US West Coast and actually hold a concert in Seattle!' [I always thought the mainstream typically targeted big cities like NYC, SF, or LA.] All of a sudden, I had this subtle interest in the Japanese, moreover "JPOP". The concert took place, I believe, Oct. 16, 2002 at the Moore Theatre. Of course, I bought tickets and, fortunately, got an awesome seat in the box section up front, 4th row on the left side. The concert rocked! I found myself movin' and singin' along, hoping to fit in with the rest of the hundreds of Japanese who had attended. There was the Lower (Main) Level, 2nd Balcony, and even a 3rd Balcony which seated close to 300. They opened that section up when they found out the place sold out so fast. It was a sell-out; the theatre holds about 2900-3000+ people. 99% of which were (of course) Japanese. ;) 1% American (including me, well half italian, half filipino). Later that week, I bought their latest album (from which the concert was mostly about), "Monkey Girl Odyssey" - Dreams Come True. I want to meet a Japanese girl! ^_^"
