From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dream Dolphin (stylized in all caps) is the performance name of Japanese model and producer of new-age music and acid trance Noriko Okamoto (岡本法子).[1][2][3]

Dream Dolphin's career began in 1995, before going on hiatus in 2003. She was a prolific artist during her career, releasing over 20 albums during that time, beginning with the album Love Eating Alien. She released her latest album modernblueambient in 2003. She worked with the artist Yoshiaki Ochi during his live performances.[4][5]

She came to renewed attention in the 2020s, following the release of the 2021 Heisei no Oto compilation on Music from Memory.[6][7] Music from Memory later released a compilation of Dream Dolphin's music on Gaia: Selected Ambient & Downtempo Works.[8][9] In August 2024, she announced a live performance in Tokyo, where new tracks will be performed for the first time.[10]
