The Swinging Star is a 1992 studio album by the Japanese trio Dreams Come True. The album peaked at number one on the Oricon Albums Chart, stayed on the chart for 55 weeks, and was also once the biggest-selling Japanese-language album of all time.[1] As of January 2015, it has sold over 3 million copies in Japan and has been certified three-times million by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ).[2][3] The track "Sweet Sweet Sweet" is notable for its similarities to the ending theme of Sonic the Hedgehog 2; Masato Nakamura had composed both tracks.
