Ryo usually sings backup vocals in the group's songs, but this is his first role as a lead vocalist in the group.
Actually Tomiko is vaguely present as a backup vocalist in a few places toward the end of the track, but her voice is quiet and distorted; it can barely be heard.
To say the least, Ryo's performance on track 2 was not expected before hearing the single.

From their frenzied guitar and drum sound, they have evolved a rather distinctive and multidimensional sound.
Tomiko's soaring voice combines very nicely with Ryo's guitar riffs and the general D-A-I wall of sound we expect from the group.

Do As Infinity made their start on September 29, 1999 with the single "Tangerine Dream." The band members are Dai Nagao (composer and guitar), Tomiko Van (vocals), and Ryo Owatari (guitar).
By the time they had released their first album, "BREAK OF DAWN", they were already a well-known band.
As of 2001, Dai Nagao stopped playing an active role in the band performing and showing up in promotion videos, instead continuing to work behind the scenes only, though still an official member of the band.

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...
I think he is merely choosing to concentrate on what he's good at (writing beautiful tunes) and leaving ryo and ban-chan to deliver the performances of his music, the way that only DAI can.
It is possible that we may enjoy another song composed by Ryo Owatari when the new album is released.

I remember during their GOH concert, Ryo had a special number with only a drummer, another guitarist, and bassist.
The screen showed the name "RYOSS" which is based from the band "KISS" that Ryo loves so much but really can't incorporate that brand of music in DAI so maybe with his new band "Missile Innovation" he can apply more of his ideas.
They choose to separate ways for a while let's say for a year as a break and preparation to create new songs.

 Do As Infinity Reviews
Do As Infinity is a Japanese group that consists of female vocalist Tomiko Van, guitarist, composer, and programmer Dai Nagao and guitarist Ryo Owatari plus occasional guests on each album.
The trio released their first single in 1999 after Dai was getting sick of his job as a composer and wanted to finally form his own band.
But that’s fine really since most of the songs are quite well done, and feature some great singing from Tomiko as well as excellent guitar work from Dai and Ryo.

DAI's music is also very guitar based - thanks to Ryo Owatari's awesome guitar playing and Nagao Dai's arrangements as a guitarist.
