2002

2002 was a busy year for GC. Their 10th Single 'Yume mita ato de' (after waking up from a dream) was again chosen to be the ending song of anime 'Detective Conan' and it received unprecendented success. GC was consequently invited to perform in various TV music shows. Up till now, this song has kept the top sales record among all of GC's single releases and it has also been regarded as their 'magnum opus'. The following single 'Spiral' also received good review and hit #7 in ORICON chart. In April, they released their 2nd album 'Sparkle ~sujigakidoori no sky blue~'. Finally they held their debut concert 'LIVE TOUR 2002 - first live scope'.
