well...my fellow DAI fans....we need to face the fact that Nagao Dai is outta the band. What do you think the future of DAI will be like? Will they continue to produce good or even better music or will they suck?
:rolling:
I believe in the talent of Ban-chan and Ryo, they will keep making good music. And we will keep supporting them! :bunpom:
If Dai is out of the band then he should be removed on the profile of DAI's official website ...like ELT. But he isnt.. So let's leave it as that. I think he will continue to compose melodies for DAI.
i agree with mroneder... even though he quit i still think he'll contribute to DAI....
No offensse guys but DoAs lately has been worst than ever. I'm hating the new songs. I'm hoping that the album will have better stuff.
*hides and thinks please dont kill me*
:rolling: :rolling:
Sorry but I don't know much about what Nagao Dai did. What was his contribution to the group? Did he compose or write lyrics? But maybe we will get to see the real DAI (whether that is good or not I still don't know). I can say that I like pretty much all of DAI's stuff still!
I really don´t think they´re worst than ever , I love the new way they make music and with or without Nagao I think that Ban-chan and Ryo are professionals who will keep the good job , and surely will please all their fans.
EDIT: hey ppl what do u think about my first new signature , here in the forum? :rolling:
I hope that tomiko will have a solo carrer and become an actress!! Ill watch al her movies!! :rolling:
We should have faith in Ban-chan and Ryo-sempai. There style is changing, but I love D-A-I for their ability to change styles and still be great! :bunpom:
Banchan and Ryo aren't a bunch of no talent idols that do nothing and reap the rewards of a cool image. They could make it if DAI did leave for good.
That is the DAI that I like...with DAI or SEIJI or with only 2 of them......I WILL LOVE THEM!! :bunlove: :bunlove: :ryo: :tomiko:
Its a pity that Dai-sama has left. But I have faith in Van-chan and Ryo-san! I admit that their music is changing, but it only shows that they are a versatile duo. Anyway, what attracts me to them isn't mainly their music, their charisma and personalities are also the main reason why I supported them.
Anyway, no matter what happens, I will always support DAI!
:ryo: :tomiko: :bigthumb:
And Good luck to Dai-sama.
:dai: :bigthumb:
I think that Van-chan and Owatari-san will be just fine.....Nagao-san said it himself that he had faith in Tomiko and Ryo......and both of them are really talented.....
I like bands that evolve, and be independent! :bigthumb:
Of course they'll do great!!!
I love both the old and new styles of DAi cuz they cover a spectrum of differnet styles and genres and no matter what Dai does they are number one in my book!!!
Anyway even though Dai nagao left recently I think he stopped acutually composing and writing for them for awhile... I mean if you notice all there songs before Be free simply said D.A.I wrote and produced. Since be free it says written by Ryo owatari. Honestly I'm not suprised he left I was expecting especially since he's also started the amasaia landscape thing, and after hearing one of their songs, I've come to the conclusion there now where near as good as Do as... DAI SAMA WHAT ARE
YOU THINKING!!! :dunno:
I'm not really taken by the new material, but i know for sure that Tomiko and Ryo can make great music. They've done it before. :thumbup:
As long as Ban is making music, I will be listening
It's an hypotetical poll cause Dai-sama is still a DAI member!!!
Is it, ANNA??
I recently told one of my friends that he left..... :buncry: :buncry:
Is there any solid evidence??
rrrr.... i dont think that they'll do better without dai-sama... that's why i reject to say that Dai has left the band.. if i'm not mistaken Rakuen is composed by dai right? i'm pretty sure of it.. cos it has his style, and the melody is very very good... about the lyrics (i dont understand japanese...) i dont really know...
well.. anyway.. anyone can write a lyric, so i think ban-chan and ryo can manage that..
about the song itself... ban-chan cant really play any musical instrument right? and ryo seems to be more rock'n roll.... i'll be missing some heart touching melody such as fukai more, enrai, shinjitsu no uta, and other song composed by Dai if he really gone... and it sure is no good....
i think yes they will be alright without him, as they already have some solid ground there... however.... rrrr aaaa.... i dunno what to say.. i dont really like their new style... a bit too much rock. and it makes almost all the songs looks similar...
:mad: :mad: :mad: nah nah nah.... i dont wanna imagine them without dai sama... cos they are selling songs anyway right! not only ban-chan cuteness (though i also like her cuteness... :naughty: hee hee...)
lets just pray dai nagao will return to the band and say 'Tadaima' just like he did on 3rd anniversary live... (love this perfomance so much)
why everytime there's a new DAI album I have to read always the same negative comments?!? :mad: :mad: :mad:
I can understand each of us has different musical tastes but before to give a negative opinion you have to listen to full songs!
How can you judge Need Your Love album listening to only 30 seconds of each song?
poor Ryo and Ban-chan!!! :buncry:
and poor Dai-sama! :buncry:
1st choice...C'mon, I have started buying their stuff, so I don't really think they will get worse!
And I haven't any problems with eventually more rockish sound, personally I like rock songs more..It's like with Move, their songs are different almost piece from piece, but it is still MOVE with Yuri, Motsu and T-Kimura..Compremez?
well...i wonder how true the news of nagao san has left the band. After the 3rd album D.A.I released if not mistaken dai nagao wished not to appear in any of the materials in the album or even promotions and interviews(rarely see him) i don't remember his reason but i'm sure he has a good reason for that.
I have the utmose respect for him because his music has been one of the best i've heard in japan's music industry
Whether if it's true that he has left or not i will always have faith in the group
they rock lol
Here's a website which has a summary of Dai's works
http://doasmap.hp.infoseek.co.jp/works/nagao/2003.htm
http://doasmap.hp.infoseek.co.jp/works/nagao/2004.htm
http://doasmap.hp.infoseek.co.jp/works/nagao/2005.htm
http://doasmap.hp.infoseek.co.jp/works/
sorry for those who can't read japanese pls use babelfish translator or any similar online translation website ![]()
Be Free, Rakuen and For the Future are all written by Dai
Okay. I went to some Japanese BBS's and asked the people there to clarify Dai Nagao's status.
Apparently he isn't leaving Do As Infinity, but he is "leaving the band" and taking a break.
NOT A PERMENANT LEAVE
They said that D.A.I is trying to bring a new sound to the group [I'm guessing Nagao was running dry on new compositions]
Ryo is also apparently interested in composing.
No one's sure though if it was Nagao who thought of the idea or if AVEX stepped in [since Matsuura is now in charge].
And no one knows how long he'll be gone, but someone said he'd be back in the fall.
So Nagao will be focusing on his own works for awhile
[Credit goes to Holly Song BBS and Œfަ”“IƒRƒgƒo‰F’ˆ BBS for replying to my poor Japanese]
:bowdown:
[And what they said about a American with poor Japanese -> すごい!!]
What this all means who knows... I think it's good that Do As Infinity is looking for fresh ideas though
Ah and http://www.atwith.com/DAI/. It's a Do As Infinity Tribute Band
:rolling:
Thanks!! Yeah!! :bunlove: :bunlove:
Fall? meaning winter.......isn't it now?
:dunno:
I suppose
Fall starts in August [right?]
I also just got Nagao's full bio about how he got started:

I'm not going to translate it all, but he sent in a demo tape to some Magazine called 'Music Man' [anyone ever hear of it?] and this man ƒzƒ?ƒCƒgƒAƒgƒ‰ƒX ?iŒ» ƒAƒNƒVƒu) is the one who saw his talent for writing. He then started composing and wanted to do something musically, but since he could not sing he started Do As Infinity.

Wow!!!Thanks!! :bunlove: :bunlove:
you guys just put too much pressure on yourself, why don't you just sit down, have a cup of coffee, wait for the album to come out, and listen to it? It's very annoying to see such debate without listening to their new album yet!! Just shut up, and listen to their album first!!!! :mad: :mad: :mad:

‚·‚²‚¢!! -> It's terrible!!
hahaha :rolling:
Thanks ikuni for clarifying! :bunlove:
wow, such heated debates anyways even if he left they wouldn't just fall down in their own demise cuz he left, they could be like ELT and get right bac up
sorry computer keeps double (or triple) posing..
double post oops

Ya, just pray for the best! :grin:

well... their older songs... i like them more... they definetly have a more heavier feeling and much more... darker theme upon them...
their newer songs.... are... bit light and sorda lack something that made them so much more popular a coupla years ago...
i know this sounds like jibberish buh yeah... :eyesroll: :eyesroll: :eyesroll:
WTF Dai is gone??!?!?!

lol he's still on the site......ahaha I go study for a few weeks and come back and see this?!!? ahah
I'm so out of it. :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:
lol. whatever. if people think the new style sucks, then let them think so. everyone is entitled to their own opinion...don't have a spaz over it. things change the band is progressing for better or for worse.
What I hope is that everyone stays together and loves the band together..... :bunspark: :bunspark:
Nothing is better than that..
Yeah, support DAI!
I'm glad a lot of member here is positive minded that the poll resulted Ban and Ryo will make good music even without Dai :grin:
I don't mind peoples give their opinion, but please do it after they release their album!!! don't just whining and bitching around when the album haven't come out yet!

:rolling: ]
Koohii desuuuu!
me is unsure :dunno:
official DAI site ( http://www.d-a-i.com/hotnews.html ) advertises other Dai Nagao works so he is still a Do As member! :wink:
There's no DAI without Dai :rolling:
I think he's really cool I don't want him to leave.
Do not worry. Dai Nagao will not leave Do As Infinity.
So long as Do As Infinity exists, Dai Nagao does his best to compose songs for Do As Infinity just like he has done up tp today.
thank you Ogawa san for the info!! :bunlove:
If Nagao Dai leaves DAI, then it will be the biggest mistake of his life, coz' he's leaving the greatest band in the world (for me)
Yes I agree with that..I'm happy he is not leaving.
