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).
Song for You
Do As Infinity Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
透き通る笑顔ときめきの香り
愛なんて知らんけど
こんなん悪かない
ココロのひもとかほどけてく
I say Hello You say Hello
いつも kiss the sky
春夏秋冬すばらしい世界
空まで続く道を
まだ飛べない鳥雲がくれの月
曖昧なセリフ誰もいない夜
ワンピース足んないけど
結果オーライでしょ
考えすぎじゃないやめとこう
I say Hello You say Hello
だから kiss the sky
これからは Good for you
僕等の時代たまにはくやまないで
ポジティヴシンキンでいこう
I say Hello You say Hello
いつも kiss the sky
春夏秋冬すばらしい世界
空まで続く道を歩こう
I say Hello You say Hello
だから kiss the sky
これからは Good for you
僕等の時代たまにはくやまないで
ポジティヴシンキンでいこう
The lyrics to Do As Infinity's song "Good for You" are about embracing positivity and living in the moment. The opening lines describe a vivid scene of lemon-colored flowers and the scent of excitement, suggesting that the singer is experiencing a sudden burst of happiness. They go on to say that they may not have experience in love, but they are content with how things are. The line "ココロのひもとかほどけてく" (Kokoro no himo toka hodoketeku) can be translated to mean that the knots around their heart are coming undone, expressing a sense of liberation.
The second verse introduces contrasting imagery of a bird that cannot fly and a lonely nighttime scene with vague words. The singer admits to feeling uncertain about something, but decides not to overthink it and let things be. The chorus then repeats the desire to keep things positive and explore the world without feeling envious of others. The song ends on a hopeful note, encouraging listeners to keep a positive outlook.
