Lower caption = "TAO" is Do As Infinity's final single, released on July 27, 2005. "TAO"'s lyrics describe the parting of two friends. B-side "Aurora" literally means the dawn in Italian, the lyrics of the song are almost like the end of the story in "Break of Dawn", which was the band's first song on their first album. "TAO" was used as "Tales of Legendia"'s Japanese opening song.

ong history

According to the "Do the A-side" booklet, "TAO" was originally to be included on their final album, "Need Your Love", but was not included because Nagao felt that it didn't fit the album's theme. It was recorded two years before the actual release of the single. Reportedly, Tomiko Van cried many times before the song was completely recorded.
