We've got a DAI thread: http://www.jdorama.com/viewtopic.2915.0.htm I wonder if these should be merged?

It should be! I don't have the power to do so in this forum, though.

I had wondered why there two for them too, thought maybe because the tour was a special event, maybe this way the won't be forgotten...again.

Do As Infinity to stream 11th anniversary concert on Nico Nico Douga
Sat, September 25, 2010 (11:41pm EDT)
Pop band Do As Infinity has decided to broadcast their next concert online, it has been learned. They are scheduled to perform on September 29 at Shibuya-AX to celebrate their 11th anniversary. The show is titled "Do As Infinity 11th Anniversary LIVE ~More! Core! Rare! Here!~" and will be streamed live for free through the Nico Nico Douga video sharing website.

For the concert, Do As Infinity plans to perform some songs that they usually do not play live, and they have some other special ideas in mind. After tickets for the show sold out on the first day of sale, the band decided on the Niconico Douga live broadcast so that all of their fans can celebrate Do As Infinity's 11th anniversary together.

Also on September 29, Do As Infinity is releasing their new single "JIDAISHIN," available only through the mu-mo shop.

^^ I have the VCD from their 5th anniversary concert which was also at Shibuya Duo. Best concert I've seen from them, they really can rock out, almost looked like a punk show the way everyone was pogo-ing and Ban-chan can really hit those high notes, couple shots from the concert.


It was actually a double VCD, disc one was all about their 2004 concerts on NY and Dallas.

You were right about DAI performing more of their non-hits Gaijin, their 2nd encore was hit laden but during the regular show it was almost the seldom heard songs and some newer ones. Here's some pics from the anniversary show, Ban-chan's hair is, uh...





Got the info from DAIforum, been a member there for a while.

Thanks for posting! I hope this album is better than Eternal Flame, I was kind of disappointed in that one.

^^ Me too, heard 3 songs, 2 were okay, that new single Hand in Hand is only fair, they're still solid but do miss having the the song writing of Dai Nagao.
Couple pics from their recent New Years Eve show.

Eight started out okay, #8 in it's first week but only selling around 19K copies, most artists just don't sell nearly as many CDs as they once did though the reviews of it have been real good. They're also playing a few acoustic shows before the tour starts, here's a few pics of them, notice Ban-chan playing a guitar which is a first(?).

_________________

They're still out there promoting Eight, has only sold close to 40,000 cpoies but guess figures like that are common these days over there. Here's some pics from a recent radio show and a link to it, short interview and a brief look at them singing Wonderful Life.

Another new single from DAI is on the way, Ariadne no Ito, sounds real good, their last couple singles seems like they've gone back to the more upbeat, rockin' sound which made them so popular in the first place.
Here's the HD video for it, don't think it's out yet on YT.

Do As Infinity will be providing the ending theme song for “Sengoku BASARA“, the latest game in the popular series!

The duo’s latest song is titled “Tasogare“, and will be released on November 16th as a single. Fans will get to hear the song in “Sengoku BASARA 3″, which officially hits stores for both the PS3 and Wii on November 10th. The song is Do As Infinity’s second tie-up with the series this year, after lending their song “Chikai” to the soundtrack of “Sengoku BASARA CHRONICLE HEROES” this July.

When asked about their latest tie-up, the duo responded, “It suits the game, and it has a nice ending! We’d love for everybody to hear it soon!”
“I sing about the feelings of wanting to live strongly through those times in one’s daily existence when one suddenly feels pain and solitude, without losing sight of one’s faint, dim hopes,” said vocalist Van Tomiko about the slightly melancholy track.
