They were formed in Tokyo in 1999, and debuted as a trio the same year with 長尾大 (Dai Nagao) as composer and leader. In 2003 their greatest hits album Do The Best achieved million sales in Japan.
The group disbanded in September 2005 and performed their last live concert at the Nippon Budokan. Each member moved onto other musical projects: Tomiko Van began a solo career; Ryo Owatari dedicated his time to the 3-piece band Missile Innovation and supporting other bands/artists on guitars; and Dai Nagao continued acting as a composer for various Avex Trax artists.
After 3 years of inactivity, the band announced their comeback on September 29, 2008 (the same day they originally began activities as a band and the same day they disbanded in 2005).
Eternal Flame
Do As Infinity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
eternal flame
If I lost my future lamp light
Can you trust my unsettled eyes?
We know it's hard,
but we will never give up
on ourselves
Everyone has its own burning
eternal flame
Everyone can grant
with their tough eternal flame
Eternal flame
Put your hands
on your beating chest
Feel the heat,
they're always with you
Some say lies...
but you don't have to
listen their advice
You can carry out
Everyone has its own burning
eternal flame
Eternal flame
Everyone has its own burning
eternal flame
Everyone can grant
with their tough eternal flame
Eternal flame
Eternal flame
Eternal flame
Eternal flame
Burning eternal flame
You can be a number one,
or super professional
Doctor, musician,
principal, producer...
Loved one, lover
Parents with their grand warmth
Everyone can achieve
that imagined great result
Cause you're with your partner
Our fire is burning
Always & till the end...
Put your hands
on your beating chest
Feel the heat,
they're always with you
You're living with eternal flame
You're living with eternal flame
You're living with eternal flame
The song "Eternal Flame" by Do As Infinity talks about the concept of inner strength and the burning passion within every person that drives them to achieve greatness in their lives. The opening lines indicate that every individual has their own "burning eternal flame." The metaphorical flame represents the inner strength and drive that everyone possesses. The lyrics suggest that even when life is difficult and uncertain, this flame can provide guidance and direction towards achieving one's goals.
The next few lines address the idea of losing one's "future lamp light," which represents the hope and guidance that come with a clear vision for the future. The lyrics ask if others can trust someone who has lost that sense of direction, but the song also suggests that even in those moments, one can still find the strength to persevere. The chorus reinforces the message that everyone has their own unique strength and passion, their "burning eternal flame," that can guide them through even the toughest times.
As the song progresses, it offers examples of the different types of people who can embody this fiery passion. From professional figures like doctors, musicians, and producers, to loved ones and parents, the song suggests that everyone is capable of great achievements when fueled by their internal fire. The lyrics encourage listeners to ignore naysayers and negative influences who may try to extinguish their flame and instead trust themselves and their own capabilities. The song concludes with a powerful message that this eternal flame will live on in individuals always, driving them to achieve greatness in their lives.

My favourite DAI song along with "Yesterday and Today" and "Koudzou Kaikaku". I love the prog aspect (great rythme changes, all I can say as a professional musician is "Wow, bravo !") and Tomiko's vocals, even in English, are great in this studio version. Deweak (France)

Oh sure, you can tell English is not her native tongue, but she sings with more passion than most American artists. In the end, music is judged not by its lyrics or melody but for the talent and effort put into its creation and this song is lacking for nothing.

Well said!!
