Content

夢のはなし and MY DREAM are the same release: Japanese and English titles for one CHAI single, not two separate songs.

Released August 3, 2022 as the theme for 沖田修一 (Shuichi Okita)’s film さかなのこ (Sakana no Ko; also The Fish Tale / Sakananoko, 2022; Tokyo Theatres), starring Non (のん; Rena Nounen) as Meebo, the fish-obsessed lead based on ichthyologist Sakana-kun, used over the ending and trailer. @beformer promoted the film tie-in ahead of the September 1, 2022 theatrical run; on August 11, 2022 the same account announced official Spotify Lorem placement for MY DREAM, naming Scoobert Doobert on sound production. Skream! (August 3, 2022) names California-based Scoobert Doobert on サウンド・プロデュース and ties the song to さかなのこ, and notes the same role on まるごと. Spincoaster credits Walton as サウンド・プロデュース (sound produce); Bezzy (Aug 3, 2022) names the same credit; Sony Music Japan documents the tie-in and names Walton on sound production. Tower Records Japan credits 編曲 on the 『ジャジャーン』 cut to CHAI and Scoobert Doobert. Hosted transcripts: Skream!, Sony Music Japan, Tower Records. Official MV on YouTube, also on Selected Videos and Videos.

Non later received the 46th Japan Academy Prize Outstanding Performance by an Actress in a Leading Role for The Fish Tale (her announcement). That award is hers, not a music prize.

Non later wrote a release congratulations comment for CHAI’s self-titled album CHAI (Sep 22, 2023), alongside Shingo Murakami, Kaho Nakamura, Orono, Rivers Cuomo, and Sui Ishida. Cuomo separately added Walton/Woodward’s FEiN satire #Grownupz (FEiN Times Issue #1) to his public Spotify playlist DJ set on Feb 27, 2016 (track 3; playlist note: here's the set I played at Melissa's party): same title string, different song.

Walton's other CHAI credits: the Sub Pop Miracle remix, the NHK theme WHOLE (まるごと), ラブじゃん( That's Love), and だれかおるやろ feat. CHAI. See With CHAI for the full list.
