coming Japanese band, Dreams Come True. The blue guy  was painted all over the sides of DCTs tour trailers, along with  the text: "Kawaii yatsu ni wa, toge ga aru." Thats a bit of a pun.  The literal translation is: "for a cute guy, he has spines," but the  Japanese word for spine, "toge", can also mean "harsh words." Masato  Nakamura of Dreams Come True was commissioned to compose the music  for Sonic, although this would later result in copyright problems.
