Editing Do As Infinity (section)

===2002===
January 2002 started with Van appearing on the Avex charity album ''Various Artists Featuring Songnation'', and the release of the band's twelfth hit single, "[[Hi no Ataru Sakamichi]]", the following month. Then the band went global. After releasing a best album, ''[[Do the Best (Do As Infinity album)|Do the Best]]'' in March, the band traveled to [[Taiwan]] and [[Hong Kong]] in April for a special campaign. Their following overseas was almost as huge as in their own country, drawing 500 fans to their in-store event held at the [[HMV]] CD store in Hong Kong. They were nominated for the seventeenth annual Gold Disc Award in Japan for the best Rock & Pop album of the year and won. The band took a short break upon returning to Japan, but released their thirteenth single in July, the double A-sided "[[Under the Sun / Under the Moon]]". In August the band participated in Avex's ''A-nation'' tour, performing in eight venues all over Japan.

Do As Infinity's fourteenth single, "[[Shinjitsu no Uta]]", was released in October, and sparked the beginning of a new project for the band. "Shinjitsu no Uta" was also chosen to be the fifth ending theme for ''[[Inuyasha]]''. "Shinjitsu no Uta" became famous in China in July 2002 and was also translated into [[Mandarin Chinese|Mandarin]].<ref name="trivia"/> In the booklet of ''Do The A-side'', Kawamura stated that "Shinjitsu no Uta" was actually written two years before the actual release. Dai said that he left it as a demo because he felt that something was missing in the song. Despite their success, Do As Infinity wanted to show their fans that they had not forgotten them. They advertised on their website for fans to send them short stories using the band's previous releases as themes and using the word ''shinjitsu'' (truth) somewhere in the story. Entitled ''Your Truth'', these stories are now available in book form. The band closed out the year with another live tour, understandably titled ''Do As Infinity greatest year 02: All Standing'', and the year-end release of their fourth album, ''[[True Song]]''. <!--There needs to be some sort of transitional info here.
