Currently consisting of 伴都美子 (Tomiko Van, vocalist) and 大渡亮 (Ryo Owatari, guitarist), several of their songs have been used as themes for Japanese television shows, movies, video games, and anime, which gained them a great amount of popularity both in Japan and worldwide.

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).

Holiday
Do As Infinity Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

春の風が木漏れ日の中
すり抜けてく私までも
青い空で泳ぐ雲たちに
ただ見とれて居眠りして
Ah 季節を感じたら
Ah 心が踊りだす holiday
なんだかほら始まる恋の予感
明日も晴れるように口ずさむよ

好きな曲で過ごす日曜
悲しいコトも忘れましょう
今日も赤い自転車に乗って
素敵な場所を見つけに行こう
Ah このままどこまでも
Ah ペダルをこぎつ続けていたい

長い坂と橋を越え左に行こう
芝生が見えるよ
ジャニスと唄いながら
ビール開けよう
明日も晴れるように口ずさむよ

なんだかほら始まる恋の予感
より道して帰ろう口笛吹こう
