Do As Infinity (Japanese: ドゥー・アズ・インフィニティ or Chinese: 大無限樂團) is a Japanese pop/rock group on the avex trax label. They are named after composer and creator, Nagao Dai, who no longer has an active role in the public face of the group, despite originally appearing at public events and in their promotional videos alongside Van Tomiko and Owatari Ryo. These days he remains in the background and only occassionally makes appearances at concerts. The DAI acronym can also be attributed to the Japanese word meaning "great".

Information

The group debuted on September 29, 1999 with Tangerine Dream and holding a free concert in Shibuya. Their songs Fukai Mori and Shinjitsu no Uta were both used as theme songs for the anime InuYasha, and Rakuen was used as the main theme for the anime's fourth movie, in which both Owatari and Van had small guest voice acting roles.

Their unique mix of samples and electric guitar solos, accompanied with acoustic guitars, alongside Tomiko's unique style of singing gave them their own distinct sound.

On September 13, 2005, Do As Infinity officially announced that they would disband on September 29, on their sixth year anniversary. They released their 2-disc single compilation album Do The A-Side at that time. They reformed only once on November 25, 2005, for the Do As Infinity -Final- concert, where Van Tomiko and Owatari Ryo were joined by Nagao Dai.

In 2008, the group announced their revival this year and followed with a new single in June called ∞1. Now the band is ready for an all new album, titled ETERNAL FLAME, to be released on 2009.9.30. The album also serves as the start of the band's 10th anniversary celebrations, released a day after the band turns ten.
