Do The Return!

My favorite band of all time has decided to re-unite. Do As Infinity has announced their reunion into the live performance circuit. They have intentions to create and maybe released new material in the spring of next year. Good news for fans that can't fly to Japan to see them live. I'm very excited.

(Cheer up guys, you're getting back together!)

Check it out. I got mine.
