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).

The song "nice & easy" by Do As Infinity has a sweet and uplifting vibe that speaks about capturing moments of happiness and holding onto them. The first verse starts with "Tameraigachi no utsuro na JYOii" which means Johnny is hesitant and empty. The verse uses Johnny to refer to someone who lacks self-confidence and is hesitant. But then the chorus talks about how these moments of happiness make the heart throb, and how the singer wishes to convey these emotions to others. They also sing about how the present moment, "nice & easy," is an opportunity to start anew and grab hold of these emotions.
The second verse uses metaphors to describe people who pretend to be something they are not. "Nareai dake no tobenai MEARI," translates to Mary who can't fly unless she has someone to follow. These people are like Mary in that they cannot strive for something unless they have someone to guide them. But the singer wants to break free from these limiting thoughts and fly; they want to reach out to the universe and convey their emotions.
The song ends with a repetition of the chorus: "Hibike ima, Todoke ima," which means "Echo now, reach now." The echoes and reverberations of the singer's emotions reverberate, accentuating how much they wish to convey their happiness and joy.
