お待たせ。

some days ago this message by Mr. Harada appeared on DAI's official BBS!

the title could means: "To everybody of Kusou Ryodan (Fantasy Brigade)"

the message is "waiting"

now japanese fans are writing a lot of message waiting for a possible DoAs comeback!

[virilevocalist]

good to hear!

although, who's Mr. Harada?

[deathangel]

Mr.Harada....the name sound familiar.....hhmmmmmm

well....we already waited for 3 yrs......hope it is really a true thing.......XXDD

[ANNA]

although, who's Mr. Harada?

Jun Harada was one of many Do As Infinity's managers!

Jun Harada was "Saiko Kawamura" (a pen name for Jun Harada & Kayoko Shinchi) who wrote so many DAI's songs!!

Jun Harada was the comment's author in the Do The A-side booklet!!!

[oasis_heart3]

(^_^ - Jun was actually half of "Saiko Kawamura"; Kayoko Shinchi was in it too.)

Also,

YEEEES! I knew they might come back. (^^) I mean, if the brilliant green reunited after like 10 years, then Do As Infinity should definitely come back, right?

i dont know if it was posted here already.. but theres A GIRL AS GUITARIST?!?! it looks recent!



edit: ok talking to jan koller... i noticed the word 統括 (toukatsu) means:

unification; bringing together; generalization; control; supervision


LOL so it could mean "Do as manager" or "do as reunion" x_x

[Yahiko]

anna, you forgot the main thing from the msg!! XDDDDD

wait.

I'm still trying to figure what he means by 統括. It could very well mean "to supervise", but in this context it seems to be used as a noun rather than as a verb. So by that logic, it would mean "unification" instead. The Japanese definition for the word translates roughly to "gathering scattered pieces into one". Interesting. A better translation for お待たせ would be "(Sorry to have) kept you waiting."

As for the rehearsal video posted earlier, it's really hard to say when it was taken. There was a time around the Desire era when Do As used to have a female guitarist in their tv performances, so it could have been from around that time. But, Ryo's hair used to be dyed back then... and you can't really see Tomiko clearly. The person who posted up the video left this comment - 懐かしいですねドゥアズ　which means "Do As - Nostalgic, isn't it".

I don't want to get anyone's hopes up, but if this speculation has some truth to it, we should probably pay attention on a certain day next month.

how do you feel about tsukiko, shidosan? ;-;

rofl so offtopic

Tsukiko as in Tsukiko Amano?

[Shigure]

Tomiko doesn't looks thin as she was in the times of Desire.
Judging by her hair and "shape" I would say it's a video from the final days of DAI.

I don't believe it's a new video but that's not impossible considering that Tomiko looks almost the same since the split.

i have to say I'm really excited about the misterious message.

If that were a rehearsal from the final days, wouldn't the great tour band be there though, instead of these other people? That's the thing that doesn't fit, as it wouldn't make sense to rehearse with a different group from the ones you're performing with.

[BalOfFlnAngels]

Long shot, but does anyone else think that "waiting" has to do with a new song. Like a new song title or something

[Stovila]

"Sorry to keep you waiting, we're going to release the DVD of True Song Concert (Fantasy Brigade) regards to the obese requests"

[kamuinosekai]

It'd be nice if they came back though, then they might get to tour the US again. But of cours I wouldn't miss it this time, ^^ or find out a year after the thing happened ><

[RAIMIKEL]

I would be very happy if they return again (I miss a lot Do As), but sincerely I don't want them to reunite again at this moment. It's only 3 years since they broke, and haven't done many things on their sepparate careers. I think that we would have to wait some years if there is even an official comming back as a group. Someone has written before about The brilliant green, but after they broke for the first time Tomoko did so many things (February6 and Heavenly6), don't know what were the rest of the memebers doing that period. They came back for their 10th anniversary (Do As' is the next year, so maybe...), released 3 singles and there came the deffinitive break for the band.

P.D.:sorry for my bad english...

[jan_koller]

i don't know what will happen finally but,... i like this feeling
from that i read tha message i am excited and happier! (you too, right?)
maybe is just a "marketing strategy" for a new compilation or an old live concert,... but you think that the own harada will wrote this just for sell some stuff?
btw, last rumors: everybody is expecting the last concert of a-nation 08 in tokyo, that will be the next weekend,... lot of people think that Do As will appear at the end as big surprise
who knows, but as i told you, i like this feeling!!

[jan_koller]

by the way,... about the youtube's video
did you pay attention at the end of the video?
in a table appeared something like a mobile, similar to an iphone,...

is this a iphone? or was this model of mobile or mp3 released before november 2005?
the answer could tell us if this video is new or old
repeat again, i like this feeling!!^^

[totosquirt]

the iphone came into news in january of 2007
the rumors came out in 2006
and their last performance was in 2005

i can only assume that DAI had the goods the whole time and were forced to disband by Apple in fear that it may be leaked

[virilevocalist]

hmm, the iphone? hahaha. Yeah I think it's a one time rehearsal for A-Nation... about permanently reuniting... I'm going to keep my hopes down. that way I won't be disappointed.

BTW SOMEONE PIN THIS THREAD!!!

I posted on JMI and CrunchyRoll forums about this.
