一昨日、ＤＲＥＡＭ ＴＨＥＡＴＥＲの各国のチャート順位を見ると、実はドリムシは“ビッグ・イン・ジャパン”であると書きましたが、そのまんまのタイトルの記事が今日出てました。
Progressive hard rock icons DREAM THEATER were honored to receive several awards from the leading Japanese rock magazine Burrn! while on their current Asian tour. The band's latest album, "A Dramatic Turn Of Events", won "Best Album" and "Best Front Cover" in the 2011 readers' poll. In addition to the album being chosen by Burrn! readers, Japanese heavy metal radio personality Masa Ito picked John Petrucci as "Best Guitarist" and Jordan Rudess as "Best Keyboardist" in the 2011 awards. Japan was one of the 14 countries where "A Dramatic Turn Of Events" had a Top Ten debut.
The band — James LaBrie (vocals), John Myung (bass), John Petrucci (guitar and vocals), Jordan Rudess (keyboards and continuum) and Mike Mangini (drums) — received the awards this week while on tour in Japan in support of "A Dramatic Turn Of Events", which features the Grammy-nominated song "On The Backs Of Angels" ("Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance" category). The Asian tour began April 19 in Seoul, Korea, bringing the group to Japan, Indonesia, Singapore, Taiwan and Bangkok, Thailand, where it concludes May 8.
"We want to express a heartfelt thank you to Burrn! magazine, Masa Ito and all of our fans in Asia and around the world who not only voted for us in the readers poll but continue to support us every day," DREAM THEATER said in response to receiving the awards. "All of you keep the dream alive and for that we are eternally grateful."
