"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.

[edit] Song 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 2 years before the actual release of the single. Reportedly, Tomiko Van cried many times before the song was completely recorded.[1]
