Details Press Release.

In 2018, STILL DREAMS unveiled their debut release, Theories, an EP issued on CD by Flake Records. This milestone paved the way for their first live performance in January 2019 in Osaka, where they shared the stage with Singaporean band SOBS. On stage, the duo transformed into a sextet, adding an organic and dynamic energy to their performances. This was further showcased during a mini-tour through Shenzhen and Hong Kong. Later that same year, they released a second EP, Lesson Learned, available digitally via Melt Records and on cassette through Miles Apart Records. In 2020, they began drafting new songs and sent them to Elefant Records, igniting a creative partnership. Together, they prepared for STILL DREAMS’ first release on the label—a full-length LP for the New Adventures In Pop collection, set to debut in 2021 and preceded by several digital singles.

Achievements and awards

Still Dreams has released two albums, “Theories” and “Lesson Learned”, and a mini- album, “Make Believe”, and will tour China in 2019 and perform online at the Sonik Philippines music conference in the Philippines in 2021. The band’s activities are expanding both domestically and internationally, including live performances at showcases and the release of their mini-album “Make Believe” on the prestigious Spanish label Elefant Records.

Artist Bio.

Still Dreams is a Japanese duo made up of the couple Maaya and Ryuta, with widespread tendencies to indie-pop, synth-pop, shoegazing and dream pop. In their younger days, they were in a quartet called JUVENILE JUVENILE. In 2016, the group disbanded, and in the same year our two protagonists got married. At the same time, Still Dreams was born. Their sound shows leanings toward shoegaze and pop-spirited melancholic ambiances. The first songs came about with the intention of bathing the sounds of Belinda Carlisle, Jane Wiedlin and a-ha in the indie-pop and shoegaze spirit.
