@Gauchorino thanks! I love talking to people too, and enjoy engaged discussion on topics like this. I don't know what this video will end up doing or who will take notice, but I've got to thank Nintendo Life for putting up in the first place. I don't recall ever hearing a game having its name changed unofficially by fans before, but who knows. If anything the Yume Kojo / Dream machine naming was just a way to identify all the different areas of promotion, which is why there was a second name to the bands and game too. not mentioned in the video, but from that book there was also a comedian who changed his last name to, you guessed it, Yume Kojo for 1987! The book came with a thank you letter from Fuji tv for supporting the event though. It was so faded and on special fragile paper that it didn't scan well. Still a cool collectors item!

You have the right idea, and I think from now on I'll only call it "Dream Machine" not dream factory, if enough people do it, then it will have been changed and corrected. Let's make it happen ^_^

Thanks so much for checking out my other videos. Part of me enjoys talking about it because look what I just found and made, it's exciting and interesting. It's not the only game where secrets are hiding out, and I'm going to do a few more like this as time goes on.

@Gauchorino thanks for a great lengthy comment! Yea, I agree with you, if you think of machine as something that produces rather than something that is used. As I was writing it, all these years of hearing dream factory made me almost skip over that part without realizing it. But, the phrase dream machine pops up in a lot of pictures in the book this video is based on. Also there's some alliteration in dream machine over dream factory.

Hmm I wonder if some sites will change the English name now, or what?

As you saw I take a few lighthearted jabs at that there really wasn't any "new news" left. Maybe this is the last story about this game now, but I'd surely love to see someone else dig up even more.

Great video. I had a friend who when he was younger had his dad buy him the laser scope https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LaserScope

It was a voice activated controller. Yell "fire, fire" you get the idea. Well he bought one because some kid at his school told him that if you talk into it and say "beat the game" it would actually beat the game! So he brought it home and he said "beat the game but nothing happened! Sure we were all young once, but wow.... Gullible!
