ZARD - Get U're Dream

The original Get U're Dream single comes with only a single song, that is Get U're Dream, in its different versions. I'll only be reviewing the original version, though.

Get U're Dream is a very nice, upbeat and energetic song that will raise the spirits of the listeners. The song starts with a chorus, then it goes into a slightly softer part. At the beginning of the chorus, you will feel like shaking your body to the beat of the music.

This song was used by NHK for the Sydney Olympics in 2000 as its theme song on the TV channel, instead of the original Olympics theme.

Sakai Izumi of ZARD has commented that she had always been staying late into the night to catch the Olympics since her younger days, and she dedicated this song to the Japanese representatives who will be competing in the Olympics, reminding them to work hard and fulfill (get) their dreams.

On a side note, the title of the song is just a playing of English words, as Sakai-san has explained. The lyrics of that song proves that she could differentiate between "you're" and "your", but she chose "U're" for the title.
