單曲部分,シングルにおいても1990年発表の『笑顔の行方』(微笑的行蹤)でブレイク。之後的『決戦は金曜日』、『go for it!/雨の終わる場所』、『サンキュ.』、『LOVE LOVE LOVE/嵐が來る(暴風雨來襲)』四張單曲均創下銷售百萬的紀錄。其中『LOVE LOVE LOVE/嵐が來る(暴風雨來襲)』銷售突破兩百萬張。
1997年,所屬唱片公司自 EPIC SONY RECORD 跳槽至 VIRGIN RECORD (American) ,在日本的銷售販賣則由 TOSHIBA EMI 負責,台灣則為 EMI 科藝百代,之後開始製作英文版,於海外發表各項作品。

2007年10月,吉田美和的丈夫(兩人並無實際登記為結婚)末田健逝世,因考量到吉田美和的精神狀況而傳出暫時中止活動的報導。 .

2.) Well looks like there are two True Love's. Hard to believe for those die-hard romantics but one is based out of Hoboken, NJ and other is into pot. The one from New Jersey is inspired by Bowie, early Stones (pre 77), Costello, Cheap Trick and any high-fidelity geeks rock n'roll wet dream . Has three singers...
There are at least two bands with the name True Colors:
1. Summer 2004: former JUSTICE-guitarplayer Dunk had been without a band for a while when things started to itch, so he started a Straight Edge band that would sound like YOUTH OF TODAY’s ‘Break down the Walls’ and the TURNING POINT demo, with maybe a small hint of IN MY EYES… Dunk remembered Packo from his days of fronting BUILDING and figured the guy had everything this newfound band needed: a strong Edge, band-experience, outspokenness and most important of all: too much energy! Packo was down right away, so...
True Symphonic Rockestra is an opera-oriented project founded by Dirk Ulrich featuring Dream Theater vocalist James LaBrie accompanied by opera tenors Vladimir Grishko and Thomas Dewald.
The idea, dating back to 2000, was to get three world class singers to perform rock versions of the "best of" repertoire of the original Three Tenors (Luciano Pavarotti, Placido Domingo, and Jose Carreras) combining the operatic elements with metal elements. Finally, in 2006, this idea became a reality.
