Do As Infinity

Do As Infinity is a popular Japanese band which debuted on September 29, 1999 with the release of their first single, “Tangerine Dream”. Their name is sometimes abbreviated as D.A.I., revealing that Do As Infinity was named after the band’s guitarist and composer, Dai Nagao. With the release of their A-side compilation album Do the A-side, Do As Infinity disbanded on September 29, 2005, after a career which spanned six years, six albums, twenty singles, seven compilation albums and eight live DVDs. The band reformed on September 29, 2008, and had their first new single release, “∞1″ in June 2009.

Their first album, Break of Dawn, debuted on number three on the Oricon album charts in March of the same year, only a month after “Yesterday & Today”. They continued to make public appearances and do numerous live performances all over Japan. In August of that year, the band released the single “Rumble Fish”, which was used as the theme song for the hit movie Kamen Gakuen; the cover of “Rumble Fish” was taken in Taiwan, and the trip provided the inspiration for “Shinjitsu no Uta”.

Also in August, the single “Summer Days” was released, which would go on to become a staple at all Do As Infinity live concerts, and was used as a theme song for Fuji TV’s OL Police. “Summer Days” is also notable for being Do As Infinity’s most well-known all-English song (following their first, “Break of Dawn”, from their debut album).

The band played a reunion show at the final show of 2008′s A-nation, as stated on the official BBS and blog entries of supporting musicians. Reportedly, Do As Infinity rehearsed for a month. As “secret guests” during the A-nation live concert on August 30, 2008, the band announced they would officially reform on September 29, 2008 and that they would be holding a free concert in Yoyogi Park on September 30, 2008. They would eventually embark on a nation wide tour once more to celebrate their reunion. The band released their twenty-first single, “∞1″, on June 17, 2009; it included four new songs.

On September 30, 2009, the band released their seventh studio album, Eternal Flame. Do As Infinity provided the opening theme song, “Kimi ga Inai Mirai”, to InuYasha: The Final Act in 2009; the single for “Kimi ga Inai Mirai” will be released on January 27, 2010. Do As Infinity debuted their song “Everything Will Be All Right” on December 24, 2009 as the official 2010 promotional theme song for professional Kyōtei boat racing.
