dream is an all-female J-pop chorus group. In May 1999, the Japanese record company avex trax held a contest in the hopes of looking for new talent. After going through 120,000 Japanese contestants, Mai Matsumuro, Yu Hasebe. and Kana Tachibana were chosen to form the new group "dream". Many consider the first three girls as the first generation of dream, which made its debut in 2000 with the single "Movin' on."
dream consisted of those three members until July 7, 2002 when Matsumuro graduated to a solo career. Six new younger members joined the group (Risa Ai, Erie Abe, Aya Takamoto, Ami Nakashima, Shizuka Nishida and Sayaka Yamamoto) which allowed people to draw comparisons between the "new dream" and another Japanese pop group, Morning Musume. dream remained an 8-member dance & chorus group until the graduation of member Risa Ai on March 28, 2004.
As of today, the group still consists of seven girls.
TEAM dreamIn 2005, the group became the main force behind TEAM dream, a women's futsal team in the "Sphere League", which consisted of idols, artists and other stars from across Japan. TEAM dream had their first official game in May 2005 and in August of the same year, they won their first official game. The team continued to improve with the addition of Megumi Utsugi. In 2006, TEAM dream captured the Sphere League Championships for the first time.
dream's RenamingAccording to an official news release, the group has officially planned to rename their group "DRM" (pronounced as di: aru em). Although the name of the group is changing, the number of girls in the group will remain at seven.[1] This change will take effect as of June 27th, 2007. More news will be available as it is released.

OtherThe group formed from the dream 2000 audition, produced by Max Matsuura (now president of avex group holdings).
dream was responsible for the song "My Will," the first ending theme of the anime InuYasha, of which Mai Matsumuro wrote the lyrics. The visual for the ending has a feminine flair, featuring the trio of the three leading female characters (Kagome, Kikyo, and Sango), influenced by the fact that dream was at the time also an all female trio.
Aside from her work with the group, Yu Hasebe stars in TV dramas and movies.
Also, Sayaka Yamamoto has started her individual career, but continues to remain with the group.
