^You mean your friend? Go for it! :)

i'm dlding deep forest right now, courtesy of my friend =D
can't wait to hear it!

^I remember that one. (I haven't listened to it in a while) Its my fav. album. Then its Need Your Love.

Do the Box is gorgeous I almost don't want to open it. D:

EDIT: what do ya know it did come today! :)
Do the A-side 2CD+DVD
http://img65.imageshack.us/img65/6896/img0080qw2.th.jpg

I really want some subs for Do the Works, so I'm gonna go snooping, see what I can find. If I can find some translations I'll be sure to put them here. :)

I also have "Do The Box"... the only thing I don't like of it is that doesn't include the original OBIs... everything else is just perfect ^_^

*mouth drops to floor*

xiaou-xijiang, is it ok if i bite off your head right now? you are making me very very jealous >.<

^:laugh don't please, I need my head. I'm gonna try to upload and maybe put up scans, if my scanners up and available. :shrug and if I can bring myself to break the seals and actually open the albums. :)

I'm watching the Do the A-side PVs, OMG she looks so pretty in every one. D:

EDIT: still haven't found any translations, but I'm still looking for them.

wow I would love to get the Do The Box - I would also love to see the scans!! My fav album is Deep Forest followed by Need Your Love ^^

okay, I'll make some tomorrow. I'm not good with making some scans, (and I don't want to mess up my booklets) so they'll be some dark spots, but I'll edit 'em so they're not really that noticable. (My scanner is a huge bulky, printer/scanner/fax machine combo)

^ same here XD

i've never seen any of their pvs. which one you suggest i watch first?

hmm, well in the begining the PVs were mostly of Tomiko sitting while the band played around her. But the most moving ones: were definetely
Yesterday & Tomomorrow
We Are
Tooku Made <== probably the best one, IMO really makes you think. :yes
Would You Marry Me? (was a funny one, :laugh)
Honjitsu wa Seiten Nari (lots of energy in this one :) )
Rakuen (probably cause its one of my fav. songs)
and of course
Fukai Mori

I'll try to make some rips on my DVD and upload them, but my computers encoded with region 3 and the DVD's region 2, so we'll see what happens.

EDIT: I'm slowly uploading DO THE BOX in the downloads section. I've got all albums up, I've just got to rip Do the Works, and its done. http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=57257

yay!!! don't need to bother my friend anymore =D

Sugoii arigatou for uploading!! ^^

I've started uploading Do the Works here

Its fun to watch RAW but any help in translating would be so great.

Since u ordered Do the Box what number is yours?

is it that number at the bottom of the box? I'm K - 000831

speaking of do the box...
mediafire hates me again!!!
could you reup the albums again in some other server?
yes, i know, i'm greedy XD;;
sorry!!!

^give it a little while and try it again. please? If it still doesn't work I'll try to upload somewhere else. But remember Media Fire is probably updating the site.

hmm...
i tried it again...it only brought me back to the regular page...
i right-clicked and saved, but it said it was either broken or in some unknown format, so i couldn't open it...
and it doesn't say it's updating the site XP
well, if you do reup, then you won't need to send me break of dawn or deep forest; i already have those =D

no the one on the obi. Its on the bottom right hand corner.


Since do the box was limited to 10,000 copies I wanna know what number copy u got?

I got 06,871

I don't see any numbers on the obi. do you have the JPN edition? cause I've got the Korean edition, maybe they're different limitedness for the two.
Or maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.
The only number I see is the on the bottom that says: 831

oh yes I have the Japanese version.

^from what I understand the Japanese ver is already out of stock? (in some places, I don't know if its out of print) but I do think the Korean ver. has a different limitedness, especially since its still in stock.

I'm pretty sure the Japanese version has been out of print for a while now...glad I snagged mine early. :) The number is written on the OBI if I remember correctly, but I can't dig it out right now to see what number I got.

Also I've been wondering about Live Year 2004.
is it any good? and does it have any good behind the scenes coverage?

I miss DAI! I really want them back. Disbanding is a very wrong decision. Van seems like not as popular as in DAI now.

And it seems that she isn't going to release something more this year :( Did her carrer ended?

I don't think so, I think she is going to keep singing eventhough she is acting now. She has a song called Manacles and it's the opening to "REIDEEN".
http://youtube.com/watch?v=k351OmqgtZw

I have the mp3 of the edited version if anyone wants it....

EDIT: However, I agree that DAI shouldn't have disbanded. >.<

I think it was good that they did decided to let go when they could still work well together and make good music together.
They ended their carrier on a good note.
If they did keep going, how long would it be before they're music became bland because they're forcing it?
I'm sad, but at the same time I'm really happy they they ended as legend. :) :) I'm actually really happy that I bought my Final Live Overseas DVD before it went out of stock on Yesasia. And for only 16.99 too.

Do As Infinity are a good banded! I love all of their albums.
Too bad they disbanded...Though it might be for good.

Avex did from their disbanding a money even releasing a lot of albums and put all of their possible tracks on any xD.

wow she looks HOT! kinda like Leah Dizon x\

zeopower6 = me. :D

Wow, stunning! But looks like there's nothing much going on with Van nowadays?

for some reason, it looks like banchan's a halfie in alot of pictures i've seen


i don't think she is, is she?

for some reason, it looks like banchan's a halfie in alot of pictures i've seen


i don't think she is, is she?

u meant mix-blood?
ban-chan is 100% pure japanese, just like hirai ken..he looked western but he's 100 japanese...

yea, that's what i thought


...wait, ken's 100%, too?? i always thought he was mixed...


btw, where'd you get that pic of tomiko? i've been looking for more of those...like, maybe the full book? :D

Tomiko Van Second Cover album : VOICE 2 ~lovers rock~ 5/03/2008

http://www.neowing.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=AVCD-23569

It will feature songs from male artists.

Hopefully some good rock songs ! >_<

^hey goodie. I'm glad she's continueing with her career.

That sucks. I was waiting for a rockish original album and all we have is this VOICE 2 :weep I hope she releases an original album in the next year.

At least she's still singing :(

Didn't Ban had her own thread?

ya! my photobucket account reactivated!

Guys where I can find the live of DO AS INFINITY - FINAL -

all the info about Ban-chan's new album has of course, caused me more DAI nostalgia....ive been listening to them none stop for the past week....

btw am i the only one who thinks Do The B-side was their best album? Everyone else likes Deep Forest, but ive always loved Do the B-side. Chiriyuku/Sariyuku Yuube, My Wish - My Life, and Mellow Amber are some amazing songs!

My Wish - My Life, Mellow Amber and 10W40 are my favorites from Do The b-side...ESPECIALLY 10W40!!!! LUV it!

The last I saw of that was months ago when I ordered it from YA. It was at a really low price, like 16.99 USD, so it might have gone out of stock soon after.
If its not there, then ebay might work.

haha those are 2nd, 3rd, and 4th favorites....number one for me is Sariyuku Yuube/Chiriyuku Yuube. their b-sides were truly amazing. They were kinda like Tori Amos with b-sides. They werent leftovers at all.

Something the people in this thread might be interested in...

Do As Infinity - "Fukai Mori" [DJ Amaya 2008 Angel at dawn Remix ](radio edit):
http://www.mediafire.com/?dzf2wyjdqni

There's a thread about this here:
http://www.ahsforum.com/forum/showthread.php?t=69061

-enjoy

Thanks for the remix DJ Amaya ^_ ^
it's a pretty good remix I wasn't expecting something like this o_o

wooo DJ Amaya is amaizing... is like have them working togrther again *-*

Yeah, it's nice to hear something "new" from DAI even if it's just this remix I made. DAI was one of the first jpop bands I was into, because I first got exposed to jpop artists through the avex network (an internet video station) that used to play music videos, and commercials for avex artists. They later made it all contained within windows media player, and harder to navigate because of the language barrier, but I still credit the original stream to this day for introducing me to DAI, AYU, Ruppina, and some other non japanese artists.

^ Do As Infinity was pretty much my gateway to Asia. I had discovered BoA through Inuyasha, but i didn't know her name, so i searched on limewire for "Inuyasha" and i heard Rakuen, Fukai Mori, and Shinjitsu no Uta....needless to say, my taste in music has never been the same since...Rakuen is such a special song to me...haha that's where my email address came from..."InRakuen@hotmail.com"....people at school think it's weird but i think it's better than the usual "first name_last name_current age@wherever.com" template they use...

A couple DAI songs just came on my party shuffle...namely, NEW WORLD from Final...

I teared up a little bit. I want my Do As Infinity back! It's been almost three years...

Speaking of D.A.I, here's a rather rare TV appearance of ban-chan during her Yumeji promotion period:

OMG DAI is back.. am i dreaming?

Do As Infinityは再結成します2005年の秋、Do As Infinityは6年間の活動にピリオドを打ち解散しました。
音楽の方向性の相違や24時間体制のメンバー＆スタッフの人間関係の軋轢や多忙なスケジュール による
慢性疲労などなど様々な事が要因で、全員が新しい一歩を踏み出したかったからです。
それから約3年間それぞれが充実した音楽活動を楽しませてもらいました。
この春些細なきっかけでメンバー＆スタッフが再会し、昔話に花が咲く機会がありました。
しばらくはそれきりだったのですが、その後誰彼ともなくゆっくりと連絡が廻り始めました。
「もう一度Do As Infinityの音楽をやりたい。」
「まだやり残したことがある。」
当たり前ですが失ってからわかることも、それぞれたくさんあった様です。
離れて初めてDo As Infinityの全体の形が見えた気がします。
確かに一度解散していますので慎重に何度もお互い話し合いをしました。
が、それを越えてチームを再開したいシンプルな気持ちを優先しました。
本年9月29日を再スタートとし、翌日30日に最初のフリーライブを行う予定です。

しばらくはライブを中心に活動し、来春には作品をリリースできればと思っています。

皆様の更なるご声援の程よろしくお願いいたします。

空白の3年間を支え続けてくれた空想旅団の皆さん、本当にありがとう。
大丈夫、僕らは強くなりました。

i'm so touch about this news.

DAI is a great band

OMG!! I would like that live give them the wish to reunite the band!!!

I hope they will make some new music and not only reunite for a-nation and that free live ...

I can't believe this yet *_*

It's so nice to see this thread back! And it's also nice to see them on stage again!! I hope they stay together for good! I wonder what songs they performed ...

me too^^

Man, one of the best bands ever!!
They should reunite!! But for now this is already great!

they only sang Honjitsu wa Seiten Nari at a-nation, according to 2ch.

Yep, translations in this thread.

IT IS A GOOD NEWS!!!!

uww.. I want thay sing Shinjitsu no uta or OASIS..

I LOVE THAT SONG!!!
wow!
so are they back again?

i tihnk they shouldnt disband...but just make new DAI stuff once in a while

I hoped this day would come! They broke up and were doing alright on their own, but I think this was a good amount of time for them to recharge their creative energy, and I can't wait to see them live myself!

OMG!!! that news is the better of the month!!!

why they only perform one song? TT_TT nooooeeees!!!

Ok... at least they will be together again :yes

DO AS INFINITY IS BACK!!! YAY! ^_^

I cried when I saw this news. I really love DAI. When I noticed they disbanded, I cried. And now they re-united, I cried again.

They wanted to make everyone thirsty for more D.A.I! :yes

I'm seriously trying to think of a way to get to Tokyo for the free live, but on top of it being really soon, it's on a weekday, and I have work... :(

^ agree... I'm so exited about it!
I hope you can go to the concert it will be amaizing *-*

dunno... the concert is in september 29th? isn't? maybe they gonna re-unite!!!! *-*
gosh! that will be the heaven *w*

^ They are reuniting! There is an official message on their website. It says that they have decided that they still have things they need to do as Do As Infinity and that they will first concentrate on concerts, with new material coming out next spring! :D

I'm really excited about DoAs new material :P
not much about their live performances :\
mainly because I won't have the chance to see them xD

I cried when I read the news...party from joy, and partly because the concert at Yoyogi is a week after I leave Tokyo. And I missed their appearance at a-nation by one concert (I was at the Osaka show on the 24th.) I have no luck when it comes to DAI...but I am SO happy to hear this, and I can't wait!!!

^ :( I understand, I went to Tokyo 2 weeks after their final concert when they broke up. That made me cry too.

Yeah...I found someone who was willing to sell me tickets to that concert and I was THIS CLOSE to going, but mom wouldn't let me because I was 15 at the time, and didn't want me going alone, and I couldn't convince my dad to come...I sobbed then too. I've shed a lot of tears over DAI. :P

OMG!!!!
THEY'RE GONNA BACK!!!!! *almost crying* is my dream!!!! and is true!!!!

THEY GONNA BACK!!!! with new songs!!!!! *dies of happines*

So then they are reuniting? It's not just a one-time concert thing?

read the posts above :rolleyes

I heard it was because it started raining.

DAI are back together!! I'm so HAPPY!! ^^

"a-nation!! a-nation!! a-nation!! WOO!!~"

I thought ban-chan went crazy... >_< She was WAY too high :P

OMG!!!!
That was so fast

*-*

My... Van-chan was so happy... I love when she screams like in the min. 2:04!!! *w*

DAI is back. Whoa.

I hope they release a new single soon

I was just listening to Fukai Mori a while ago and thinking how great it'd be if they made another song like that.
