Shinjitsu no Uta (literally Song of Truth or True Song) by the band Do As Infinity is a hauntingly beautiful song that features the sound of the ancient Chinese instrument known as a jinghu. The song was chosen as the fifth ending theme of the hugely popular anime InuYasha.
All Do as Infinity's CD's state that "Do As Infinity are Van Tomiko, Owatari Ryo, Nagao Dai and all supporters" in order to honor their fans. Tomiko is the band's lyricist and vocalist, Ryo contributes to the lyrics, plays guitar, and sings backup vocals, and Dai is the songwriter and guitarist. Several additional musicians helped form the touring band. Note that the band's name is abbreviated DAI and was formed from the letters of the guitarist and songwriter's name.
Do As Infinity officially disbanded in 2005, six years to the day after the release of their first single. They left a legacy of beautiful music for us to enjoy.
