Overview

The release of Dream comes just over one year after Ito's second studio album, Wish. Dream includes the three singles that were released in order to promote the album. Also included in the album is the answer song to "Ima Demo Zutto", "Ima Demo Aitai yo..." (今でも会いたいよ．．．, I Still Miss You), featuring hip-hop duo Spontania which was also used to promote the album.[3]

Promotion

The first single "Miss You" was used as the background song for Ito En's Vitamin Fruit commercial in which Ito appeared.[4] "Koi wa Groovy x2" was used to promote the Gap's 2008 Holiday Collection "Winter Neutrals" campaign.[5][6] "Trust You" was used as the ending theme song for the second season of anime series Mobile Suit Gundam 00.[7] "Brand New World", the B-side for "Trust You" was used as the background music for Hawkins Sports. Unlike the other three songs, Love Machine Gun was not released as a single but was used as the insert song for the cell phone novel Tenshi no Koi (天使の恋, Angel's Love).[8]

gollark: So they do a lot of work trying to map the register-machine machine code onto that while trying to maintain the illusion of being fast PDP-11s or something.
gollark: Apparently what CPUs need is a dataflow graph so they know exactly how much stuff can be parallelized.
gollark: Machine code does often seem to map quite poorly to the actual CPU.
